this is FreeAssembly, a non-toxic design, programming, and art collective. post your share-alike (CC SA, GPL, BSD, or similar) projects here! collaboration is welcome, and mutual education is too.
in brief, this community is the awful.systems answer to Hacker News. read this article for a solid summary of why having a less toxic collaborative community is important from a technical standpoint in addition to a social one.
some posting guidelines apply in addition to the typical awful.systems stuff:
- all types of passion projects and contributions are welcome, including and especially those that aren't programming or engineering in nature
- this is an explicitly noncommercial, share-alike space
- don't force yourself to do work you don't enjoy, or demand it of others

holy fuck that’s fucking embarrassing. I guess I’ve got one link I can paste when I’m asked for an example of the Nix community being a Nazi bar, cause they’ve kindly implicated themselves in their own words. and this is the NixOS wiki that was our only non-blog source of docs for shit like flakes and various NixOS options and facets of the language for years! this is where most of the text on the (extremely recent) official wiki came from! and here it is, screaming about marginalized people being woke like a drunk uncle at Thanksgiving
Blows my mind that this exists on what seems to be the official wiki and no one has distanced themselves from it lol
I feel like such a mark for adopting Nix in the first place
the "totality" of the fash takeover is fairly recent, but the groundwork has been put in place over some time prior. same play as they do in all the other places they've been trying to take over
at this stage I think the best hope is for lix/aux/guix to continue growing and gaining firm ground, and for people to start moving over, with origin-nix atrophying over time until something is forced to change or it dies off. which is an entirely other pile of problems too :|
