I know of Nix, but I know little about the project itself. Can someone shed some light on the reasons for forking?

There's a lot of issues right now around communication, moderation, and community.

- One of the release managers (myself) was banned/suspended [1]

- Attempts to assert control on the board's decision-making by proxy group [2]

- Use of social media to target individuals [3]

Bro, you should really take the hint soon.

Why now call it Snowflakes given: Kindness The project should be welcoming and a safe place for people to participate. I'm puzzled how overly sensitive the new generation of humans is! This the the opposite of stoicism and resilience!

Seeing an issue, working to resolve it, then making the environment better for others takes resilience. Stoicism and resilience does not mean rolling over and accepting bad things because problems in your life are not solvable.

That there's an established clique? I agree.

There's a vast difference between "working to solve it" and "forking it"!

The younger generations do not get the concept of "respect"! They need to respect those who've done the most work and not feel entitled that a small contribution to something makes them equal rights owners!
