This is a bit like mark rutte calling Trump “daddy”. It’s completely inconsequential in actual reality but still feels so entirely wrong. And I don’t even know who should be most embarrassed, the bootlickers or Trump for being transparently narcissistic that everyone realizes bootlicking works

I hate how this community has become mostly politics lately. Its understandable since technology and politics are connected but still.

I feel "tech" communities have always been more about smartphones and startups rather than actual tech.

Mmmmm..... Is it politics, or ethics?

Can you be okay having ethics discussions in technology? If not, maybe the problem is less other people, and more you, not having any sort of spine.

I, too wish everything wasn't horrible, but think of it this way: technology is the stuff, made by the people, who make decisions and ideas. And so, it's important to know what the people are doing. Especially so for those of us without the privilege of benefit of being able to ignore politics.

I'm saying you're a privileged manipulator trying to quiet those trying to improve things, and I think that you should fix that, rather than complaining that people are talking about it in a passive aggressive, manipulate way.

Maybe you could make a community called "ethics blind technology"?

Or "unethical tech"?

Maybe even "aethical technology"
