>Also, the "correct worldview" in this context means not being a racist, bigoted, anti-Semitic asshole.

This is oversimplifying things.

Here is the example: https://gts.superseriousbusiness.org/@gotosocial/statuses/01...

>We do not work with transphobes/fascists/racists. If you open an issue or PR on our git repo and we see you are one of those things, or hang out with people like that

So I can't really be part of the team if a person whom I follow on github or somewhere else is somehow "correct worldview". I may even not be aware of this.

Not to mention that many people actually have no idea what they are talking about and use words like "nazis" only to describe abstract "bad people" as opposed to their image of "good people"

Example from the same link:

>we are a strictly antifascist organization. we have zero tolerance for fascism or anything that enables or allows it. (yes that includes capitalism)

Apparently I won't be able to participate if I follow Bill Gates blog.
