re: omarchy trying to create parallel infra to subvert the linux community and kick trans/female/black people out i know some people think that sounds crazy but DHH literally is doing a podcast tour saying that is exactly what he's doing lol

But will it work? Is it a real risk? It looks like a simple distro to me. Even if it sticks, there's just gonna be one more linux distro beside the most popular ones, but this one comes with less trans people and more assholes.

They have $10 million pledged funding from a hodgepodge of tech CEOs and figures :) 2 more added from when they posted this: omarchy.org/news/2026/08...

if you view this as more of an organized platform for disruption, harassment, and ideological rallying, it's a lot easier to see what they're doing.

I have no doubt that DHH doesn't have pure intentions, but I still cannot see the mechanics of causing a disruption. Do you think there's a risk that Omarchy will become an unignorable standard? Or do you fear that they will use their screentime (on conferences, etc.) to stir shit?
