nah m8. everything is political. they’re basically saying they’re oke with the destruction of a community and the hostile intentions against FOSS because of one man’s megalomaniacal psyche.

anyone that thinks most decisions are apolitical are living in a vacuum tube or are just too privileged to give a shit. too many ppl in tech dont want to put themselves in another’s shoes

I agree that the revert we're discussing did this and so was political. I'm saying that in the hypothetical world where this commit didn't exist but neither did last week's that it reverted, there irssi truly would be apolitical still.

I'm not convinced that inaction is inherently apolitical, but it would certainly be more defensible.
