In that very limited sense gatekeeping has value. I like DnD but it is not my favorite system, I like deep lore, emotional roleplay, and, and if needed, I'm perfectly fine with artistic license by GMs/STs. Especially if there are power gamers in the group, because nobody likes plots that become entirely about NPCs and the 2 power gamers.

I also have no interest in suckless, so I have no reason to be upset if I, a fan of exactly the software suckless is a rebellion against, am left out.

The problem is when it expands a bit. Occasionally you'll get people saying stuff like "You shouldn't be using a computer at all if you don't want to use the command line and write C" or "Girls shouldn't plat TTRPGs at all, it's a guy thing and they just do it for the attention".

And of course, the unsolvable problem of whether non-suckless people should make an effort to write their programs in a way that can be used outside of the Red Hat de facto mainstream stack, even though they personally never expect to see a system like that and only a small number of their users will.
