No one can even agree on what woke even means. "Woke mind virus" 99% of the time is uttered by extremely unserious and contrarian people. It's a fantastic signal that screams "Ignore me, I'm not worth the trouble."
So the issue is that you're insufficiently socialized to understand this or don't care, both of which are very poor signs for someone who wants to lead a long lived organization which stewards a open global platform. IMO your behavior in this thread is very strong evidence that any org you lead is unlikely to thrive. You seem to lack the disposition and people skills.
"Woke" refers to Critical Social Justice ideology, hope that helps.
That's what it means to you, most users mean "something liberal/progressive I don't like".
Most people don't know the academic umbrella term, but if you ask for examples of "woke", it's usually pretty obvious they're referring to Critical Social Justice ideology and its associated norms.
People can argue about the boundaries of the term, but pretending nobody knows what is being referred to is not a serious argument.
