This is what happens when politics infects an open source project: https://t.co/x9o5Sf8jEz

Be of whatever opinion you prefer, but obtaining mod-status or community-manager status of an OSS-project just to push your identity-politics is an abhorrent tendency regardless of which side of the political spectrum you happen to fall. You thought we had fragmentation before? Get ready for Conservativ/Republican/Liberal/Democrat edition of your favorite software.

"I Disapprove of What You Say, But I Will Defend to the Death Your Right to Say It" comes to mind.

It's less politics and more of a maintainer going insane. Their chosen medium to express their insanity doesn't matter, just that they made a hostile work environment and now people are forced to create a new environment free from the hostility of the old maintainer. It's happened enumerable times before, for a variety of reasons, not just political.
