alt Hacker NewsYou are confusing being political with carrying out political discourse. They are not the same thing.
Being political for software means for example making some specific choices while designing it and advertising them as such. Means choosing a license over another. Means announcing political positions and possibly aligning the software to them (depending on what it is).
It doesn't mean going in forums related to that software to discuss random political topics.

Okay, lets assume you are correct[1]; is that a counterargument to my main argument:
>> IOW, Even within political discussion, you can still be off-topic!

[1] I don't think I am confused about the difference, TBH - I explicitly called out political preference of a project and political discussion within the project.
