Initially, #linuxgate won't have big effects on software quality. This is because most nerds are shitlibs, so there is a large pool of SJW-friendly programmers to draw from. /1
Maybe 10% to 15% of programmers are right-wing. You can run all of them out, and you can still have enough talented people to update glibc, git, curl, and all that. #linuxgate /2
Problems start to happen with the apolitical. Most people aren't political and resent having politics dragged into work. These are the people who foolishly think they can argue against a dumb policy or defend someone unjustly run out. #linuxgate /3
James Damore isn't right-wing. He's just a normie who thought he could rationally argue against an unrealistic diversity policy using facts & citations. Under the #linuxgate CoC, you gotta run all those guys out, too. /4
When you've eliminated dissidents & limited yourself to just true SJW believers and the meek, now you start to have problems. But the purging process can take upwards of 3 years. So don't expect #linuxgate to crash anything right away. /5
The problems happen *after* you've purged everyone remotely right of center or openly apolitical. This is because SJW power is built on constant purging. They always have to find new enemies of the revolution to pillory and punish. #linuxgate /6
The problem isn't talent; the problem is focus. After purging the board & people w/ authority over the repo, the #linux culture will become focused on identifying and purging heretics, not producing good software. If quality isn't your focus, quality *will* be sacrificed.
The future of #linuxgate isn't 85-IQ diversity shitting up the code base with bad commits. It's projects not getting done at all because they dissolve into accusations of transphobia and bigotry, with devs quitting b/c it's not worth dealing w/ these psychos.
Don't worry about the "post-meritocracy" bullshit. I've seen garbage like that before, never goes anywhere. Worry about never getting drivers for new fiber technology because people keep quitting due to being accused of furryphobia. #linuxgate /END
