I'm very sad to see this, dang. Complaining about identity politics is a form of identity politics. Because we white people are the default, banning discussion of non-whiteness reinforces whiteness. Banning discussion of gender similarly favors men, especially in tech.
You and I might experience this experiment as a detox. But it is increasing toxicity for those whose identities and concerns you are trying to erase.
In normal times, I might shrug. But these are not normal times. Tech companies are having to consider whether they'll be making lists of Muslims and turning them over to the authorities. We are having to ask ourselves, "Do we really need to store all this user data if we might have to give it up in secret?" Refusing to discuss politics when these issues are on the table is actively supporting a side.
I object in the strongest terms and will not participate. I won't be back for a week. If it keeps up, I'll be closing my account.
