Also worth noting that one can be strongly interested in politics (e.g. political scientist) and hold neutral policy views.
So the comment was aimed at the poster with strong enough political views that they felt the need to post in this forum that their support for the launch was affected by it - where as most folks would not.
In this case, it’s less about interest and more about behavior.
You’re overthinking it. The comment was aimed at OP (and personas like it) suggesting difficulty supporting the launch due to Musks politics.
And yes, folks leaning toward hard edges of a political spectrum reliably demonstrate lack of nuanced thinking in my experience because it involves compromise, something you see less of as you approach the aforementioned edges.
True, but that level of nuance likely isn’t going to make contact with those that have staunch political views - it’s worth the reminder that any company is not the CEO.
As lazy as it seems, I’ve made a couple contributions to Neovim whereas I probably wouldn’t have bothered if I first had to figure out a mailing list flow.
