Rocknix is a linux distro that targets 'retro handhelds' like Retroid and Anbernic. Those devices normally run Android, which is currently in full fuck-you mode, so if I were to buy a retro handheld I would be running Rocknix on it instead.

However, bad news: I asked in the Rocknix discord if i can count on them to take an anti-fascist stance, and their response was, in a word, "no".

Specifically, I asked if they were centrist, they gave me a "no politics" warning, which is a pretty clear answer to that.

If anyone else on the team wants to correct me, I'll gladly edit this post.

edit: I was banned, I didn't say anything other than the frowny face so I assume I was banned for that? can I appeal please?

edit 3: if you have an open source project and you would like a community liason or a technical writer then I'm happy to help, dm me please

edit 4: to clarify, these reddit comments are NOT made by the Rocknix team. I just wanted to share how awful it feels to try and talk to the community about this.

edit 5: according to the code of conduct, they should be anti-fascist. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt for now and say the discord mod was just in a bad mood. no excuses for the redditors tho. https://rocknix.org/contribute/code-of-conduct/
