@psychpsyo@mastodon.gamedev.place If a project explicitly tolerates nazis as long as they check their nazi stuff at the door, and doesn't tolerate anyone saying that's not okay, you will not have anyone but people ok with nazis working on the project. I.e. nazis. And what you make will reflect their values even if they can't discuss those values publicly. In a way they even can! They're allowed to say "no politics here" which means "no one who objects vocally to nazis here".
The experience you described is called "niceness" which is not akin to "kindness" but the opposite of it.
@psychpsyo@mastodon.gamedev.place I'm going to go further here into the specifics of a browser project. Nobody makes something as big as a browser without some values for what the project wants to achieve. Those may be directly commercial or otherwise exploitative (Chrome), but regardless they're some motive for people to work on the project that guides all the decisions they make.
This requires being able to talk about those values and how different choices might impact, or have been found to impact via feedback, align or misalign with those values.
