Re: Arch should be apolitical

The FOSS movement was called a "movement" for a reason. It was always about giving power to the people who would otherwise have none, and getting the boots of the powerful off of their backs. Pride month fits that ethos perfectly.

If you don't want to see the logo, you can either use custom CSS or simply ignore it. This is such a non-problem.

Recently, the Arch reddit logo was changed to a rainbow. This is for "pride
month". It is forcing a political view on all of the users who did not ask
for this. Many of us don't care about the views of the developers or
moderators as long as we continue to enjoy Arch.

When this was brought up, the moderator silenced the criticism and deleted
the thread.

Just ignore it.

   If it makes some feel better, so be it. It isn't hurting me at all... and
whatever the intent, it doesn't have a deleterious effect on Arch. Rainbows,
ponies, penguins, geckos, hats, all just nice decorations.
