"folks" is non-gendered, but it does not have the virtual signaling properties of "folx" which is all about increasing inclusivity to heights that were previously unheard of.

Folks is non-gendered, that’s why the “folx” terminology is seen as pandering / virtue signaling / etc. by many, many people. Re: Latinx.
I'm pretty sure it's just a fun way to spell folks
I agree that folx doesnt make sense as a nongendered term, but Latinx is used because Latino/Latina IS (traditionally) gendered.
Even though Latinos don’t like the term because it’s whitewashing their culture.
