Sad to see landing page of #linuxchix but it's a nice one...

Shame archive.org didn't fetch everything and there are link rots in some courses :(

@bittin @NanoRaptor @Jill_linuxgirl I set up a #LinuxChix group on LinkedIn a few years ago but haven’t had the spoons to do much with it – I should take a look at that & try to give it some care & attention 🙃

I really liked the mailing list back in the day but “you have to meet people where they are” as they say, & most people aren’t on mailing lists / IRC / website forums any more… 😢

gosh I miss the #LinuxChix community 🥺

(thanks to @NanoRaptor for sending me down this nostalgia rabbit hole, it’s been great to read through some of my old mailing list archives 🥰)

I just found out that talking about politics is banned in a group about women in software, #LinuxChix. Women. In. Software. Even worse, it's about #Linux. And #feminism. But no politics. Then why does the group exist? If you don't see politics, you can't see the Patriarchy. Also, the gatekeepers are very rude for a group whose code of conduct is summarised as "Be polite. Be helpful". I often feel excluded from groups like these, because I don't understand their power dynamics or refuse to submit to them. If diversity groups are like that, I truly fear for the future of libre software communities.
