@CyReVolt @nina_kali_nina Some of the man pages of OpenBSD were written by a trans woman, but a few people in the community seem more or less transphobic; met once on SimpleX a self-described "OpenBaSeD" fanboy who insisted on theorizing that Qubes' founder is woman and kept deadnaming her... Sigh. At least the people on BSD Cafe seem chill...
As for NetBSD... When I saw that flag, I knew there would have to be at least a Pride flag version of it!!
Otherwise, don't know what to say... I wanted to adopt NetBSD, but the janky (at least at first glance) package management made me reconsider.

@Zzyzx here is what I can say from my own POV, having been to EuroBSDCon in Paris back then, been using FreeBSD on a few servers for a decade now, and regularly attending bsd.nrw: There are definitely many, many really nice people there, and yes, you will find some jerks, pretty much like everywhere else. I've accepted that to be part of life and stick with the people I do enjoy being with. Joanna has a similar position on these matters, from what she writes: https://blog.invisiblethings.org/about/ Re tech...
