Apolitical as in stays focused on the distro and not current events or takes a side in whatever current events.

I ask this because I feel as though an apolitical trait featured in a development team might ensure that the distro project will last longer.

One thing I donโ€™t want is for a Linux community or eventually itโ€™s distro to be torn apart by petty politics which is also why I ask.

Arch is actually one of the most political versions of linux, and it's not even close. Just take a look at the Plebbit adoption rate and experts.

No such thing. Linux is inherently political, because no sane developer that's got any skill or talent and is apolitical himself will ever work in FOSS instead of working in big tech where you can increase your wage by a hundred fold. The only reason anyone works on linux is either if they're new and are trying to get into a welcoming community that has a lot of resources/tutorials/guides and is generally practically a social circle for social outcasts and losers, but those people if they show any talent or hard work usually end up fucking off to proprietary big tech companies to get paid so they can stack some money and pull some baddies on their dicks. On the other hand there's one special demographic that's attracted to linux like a fly, one that cares about ideologies more than basic human needs like wealth, security, relationships, future retirement, long term planning, safety etc. A group of people that are usually mentally ill extremists, which tend to be progressive/liberal oriented in the computing space which is primarily occupied by nerds who are fairly meek and mostly just centrist and easily influenced or commanded to accept any ideology, while the more conservative/auth extremists would usually fuck off to military or police or trade jobs. So the entirety of linux and foss ecosystem is just purely managed by either teenagers or newfags who mostly work on small hobby shit, or in some cases on cool stuff like hyprland, while most of the older ones are just incredibly mentally ill extreme progressives/liberals with little regard for linux or foss, and they mostly see it as a way to protect their deviancy from a potential authoritarian led government by being able to hide their MAP (minor attracted person) content and other grooming images or writing or videos on their highly private FOSS device, but it doesn't matter if it works properly or supports most people's use cases.

Exactly the point. Some introspection may do you some good. When you present your views as dogmatic and the only acceptable point of morality, you are a hypocrite for trying to call out the oppression.
This is why all projects were supposed to be dedicated to the code and its functions not induced to include by force voices of political or moral judgement. Most people had no problems with faggots, trannies, or other people coding, but you say a comment that is unrelated to your work and they go ballistic. I still don't support right wing stupidity as the enforcers of morality, but tech in general should be devoid of the politics and be solely about the tech.
Social issues, regardless of political persuasion, always devoid and degrade tech.

Linux and the BSDs really of FOSS has always attracted anyone with a socialist bent, or more broadly, people who despise consumerism, and wealth capture by income forms of slavery ie typically wage slavery. They were tolerable in the beginnings because many of them were about rights of the people, most importantly free speech. The new paradigm shift in "hate speech" and sjw extremism within the community is likely a radicalization push to prevent tolerance and togetherness of the people. In other words, just like Occupy Wallstreet the current crop of leftists has abandoned many of the principles they once purported and are actively willing to sabotage projects that further the goals of removing the general population from dependence.

Since occupy wall street, all the communities are being torn apart by petty politics thanks to weak people believing on what they are feed from think tanks
My advice for you, is to be apolitical yourself, just be a wandering traveler that never picks a side or care about the side of people, use a "tranny" distro today, a "chud" distro tomorrow
Remind yourself of the ephemerality of these ideologies, and how they only serve politician campaigns

>Nooo you're morality much match modern standards of sexual degeneracy or you can be canceled by the community.
Sure. It's not politics at all. The linux kernel is totall not actually fully pozzed now. One just needs to view Torvald's stances and policies concerning the kernel during this radicalized view of reality. It's worse than the days FreeBSD socialists would ban you for unrelared political dissent. Hubris and chutzpah is a motherfucker.
>>105918057
>Politics free in the world
There's a difference between total apolitical involvement and wanting to avoid being doxed, being swatted, being canceled, being removed from a project or becoming person non-grata for simply having a wrongthink position. Your position would only hold water if the "circlejerkers" had no reason to form an echo chamber in the first place. The "chuds" in this argument were deplatformed many times from leftist takeovers on social media platforms not too long ago.
>>105916460
>User apolitical stance is the best option
I wish this were true, but the sad reality is that if attention is given to the projects after ridiculous responses and abandonment of the first principles of software freedom for ALL, then they expand efforts. The action itself rewards policies that aren't helpful and rewards both sides for going into extremes. Ultimately, the code also suffers and lags behind just to ensure the "successes" of the poor oppressed. We now live in a world of extremes, where common goals with the "enemy" is still oppression, regardless if the code can be used independently of the ideology.

I focus my ire on the "tranny" side of this argument because you don't hear about trannies or other leftists being removed for wrongthink on the "chud" projects. Granted, I have taken your approach pretty much as well and try to ignore the unnecessary drama. However, it can't be denied that the code suffers from the loss of competent programmers, and the flaming distraction of weaponized differences

It's in the paragraph. Read about suffering code and distractions due to dogma
>Based, diverse community
Reality is the majority of the deplatformed were already diverse they just didn't accept the concept of forced equal outcomes. They were also more accepting of dissenting opinion. Your premise is faulty in world where opposing views exist.
Also, you forgot the de-, faggot.

Not accepting enough then. They are free to circlejerk elsewhere.

Your inquisition for the church of buttfucking axewounds has proven to degrade everything it touches and distract from the purpose of free software movement. I'm not on HRT like you are. That's not a thing.
Socialists and sjws used to understand that in order for a movement of the people to occur you needed more people and a broad audience, therefore it required broad strokes. The known paradigm was amount of people pooling resources v. amount of money and assets already established. In other words, the common man v. the "elite" required a focus on allowing diverse opinion. In this paradigm, it required MORE people.
>Not accepting enough then. Free to circlejerk elsewhere.
Great way to create the safespace hugbox and then blame the opposition for thinking wrong, and totally creating their echo chamber because they can't cope with diversity.
