The Neovim controversy once again highlights the toxic dilemma in the FOSS community.

When open-source projects stumble over ideological baggage and the support of tech titans like DHH, trust collapses.

The wave of outrage illustrates just how strongly neoliberal tech fascism, which, in alliance with figures like Musk, Thiel, and reactionary parties like the AfD in Germany, opposes social achievements, is making itself felt even in supposedly free spaces.

Anyone who defends such legacies is engaging in digital colonialism, the digital equivalent of historical land grabbing.

Like imperial powers, these actors subjugate global infrastructures in order to privatize and undermine democratic commons. #neovim #foss #afd #bigtech
