No, I mean that voicing opinions in specialist spaces is rarely seen as bothersome when they uphold the status quo, but the minute they don't they're "making it political"
There's nothing to prove when you posit your responsibility is limitless.
Codeberg is in Germany yet I don't see them taking a stance in the Russian war in Ukraine, which they helped finance by building their economy on cheap Russian oil and gas. I guess by ops logic that means codeberg is in favor of Russian aggression.
But do people look at installing a formulae in brew and wonder "what's their position on Uyghur oppression in Western China?" Like, wow, jxl is pretty neat, but they don't have a position on Palestine so I don't know if I should leverage the JPEG XL format?
Well if I had to install something and knew their authors were in favor of genocides, I would look elsewhere.
> they don't have a position on Palestine so I don't know if I should leverage the JPEG XL format?
This is a strawman. You go from "they are in favor of something horrible, should I use them?" to "they haven't expressed a position on stuff, should I use them?".
So youre proposing that everyone should always be criticizing every unjust thing in the world or else they're upholding the status quo?
By that silly logic I guess codeberg is supporting the uyghur genocide because they don't mention it.

Edit: casual sinophobia BTW
Until proven otherwise, Codeberg's operations have nothing to do with the uyghur genocide though.

Rather using self-hosted Gitea, software developed by a for-profit Chinese company, is actually supporting the uyghur genocide. Shame on you.

Insanity. IMO. Keep that stuff at home.
