    Anyone who claims to be a member of any community is a douchebag

      Certain communities no. there are legitimate minority/vulnerable communities that should hold a support aspect that are genuinely at risk.

      Tech is not one of these communities though. It’s sort of like those parenting communities that take it to far into cliques. Or car enthusiasts. Like it’s a skill or hobby. It’s not an overall life circumstance nor should it ever be meant to be more important than any person partaking the skill or hobby. So many people seem to lose that vision and weaponized shit that shouldn’t be weaponized. at best you are helping a person. At worst, you go back to your skill and hobby or whatever and move on. They didn’t do it your way? Build a bridge. Get over it. World is not on fire and it’s not filled with bond villains just cuz kevin didn’t use the same glue you did to build his fuckin bird house.

        Being a member is fine.

        Saying you represent that community is step one on the douche ramp
