See NixCon 2023, but also in general universities and student organizations in the country mandating that you pretend the defense industry doesn't exist if you want to have a presence there.

Just about anything German-hosted in the Fediverse is absolutely allergic to the industry and users will lose their fucking minds and hound you to the ends of the earth and send you death threats if you forget this fact.

Basically shitty ideologues who put purity ahead of the technology dominate every level of the discourse there. It wastes everyones' time and distracts from things that actually matter. In fairness, America isn't far behind.
