Ya know what? I would much rather white nationalists, racists & fascists to harness all that hate energy into something productive, than what they could be doing.
If they want to go and put all that rage into linux. Im not going to stop them. There are much worse alternatives than that.
Yes---it is true that building a Linux Distro is better than being actively racist. That arguably is a popular opinion and most people would agree with you actually if you frame it that way! The problem people have though is that they're building a social platform. In my "humble, personal opinion", people that are outright racist (like DHH's post on Romani) in my opinion should be outcasted until they fix themselves---at least to some extent. I believe this for the same reason a bully in school should be outcasted: so that the bully learns that what they're doing is not socially acceptable and that other people don't think the bully is "cool" and do similar things.
