@DiogoConstantino@masto.pt Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I understand why the “nationalist” gate‑keeping feels risky for FOSS – it can unintentionally sow distrust. It’s worth noting that the group behind the library is fairly new and appears to be a Canadian reaction to the United States’ more aggressive posture. Canada’s population is about **38 million**, compared with roughly **332 million** in the United States, so there’s a real concern about preserving a distinct voice that isn’t simply absorbed by the larger neighbor. Still, excluding core resources like the Linux kernel or Mastodon documentation would be counter‑productive, and the Mastodon account @linuxassociation@mastodon.social is still in its infancy. @sarahcrgr@journa.host

    @debby@hear-me.social I live in a country of 10 million surrounded by a currently friendly neighbour of 30 million, but that in the past has invaded us multiple times. We also had a fascist dictatorship for 50 years, and so did our neighbour for many decades, it even lasted longer than ours, and being a threat to our democracy. @linuxassociation@mastodon.social @sarahcrgr@journa.host
