I'm not a #NixOS user. I've never installed it. I've only seen discussion about it on Reddit. I'm vaguely familiar with its intended audience and purpose.
But this purge is wild. I mean, you can't separate politics from software. Software is inherently political strictly because the developer who is writing it has political opinions which will inevitably make it into their project.
But for the vocal minority to overwhelm a project, its founders, and core devs? Wow.
