> believe they've become tools to push specific political views That's always been my opinion. It's the opposite of "inclusive" because it selects for against people that don't like the framing or don't want to see politics in software. It's more like an orthodoxy test people have to pass than an actual mechanism for preventing whatever it's ostensibly trying to prevent. Imo, software projects should be about software, nobody cares about irrelevant personal characteristics, nor is there a reason to discuss them when working on a software project, so it's not an issue. Forcing the discussion in that direction is about jockeying for power, and it ultimately hurts everyone. Edit: and you got flagged. I'd take that as an abuse more than an actual judgement from the site, it's not like the post started a flame war or got a bunch of boring replies with the same old stuff... some elements of HN are not too tolerant of certain viewpoints and things get flagged too easily. |
