Glad that's not what happened here. The best people were excommunicated and burned at the stake for their heretical views because they didn't purge the toxic fundamentalists from the project.

Hacker culture is inherently antiauthoritarian, therefore queer and leftist. If you have a problem with queer leftists in your hacker community, you are the problem and need to leave.

I don't doubt that queer and leftist people gravitate towards hacker culture, but how does queer and leftist follow from antiauthoritarian? The majority of people are still, and will always be non-queer, and a significant portion of antiauthoritarians are not leftist.

Now the grandparent comment got [flagged]. Posting again for posterity:

>Hacker culture is inherently antiauthoritarian, therefore queer and leftist.

Best example of Poe's Law that I've seen on HN in ages. Leftism is hilariously authoritarian, and hacking culture never had anything to do with sexuality/gender.

>If you have a problem with queer leftists in your hacker community, you are the problem and need to leave.

Yes, I have a problem with totalitarian, authoritarian fundamentalist leftist. If you're OK with them in your hacker community, you are the problem and need to leave.

But the average lurker not logged in cannot see them.

I registered just to confirm this. Thanks for saying it's also an option, but I doubt I'll log in every time/too lazy to enable cookies.
