on a related note: a "community" is a group of people who know each other and care about each others' well-being.

so for example if we are speaking about the queer tech community, well, yeah, any time we join a new chat room it turns out we already know two or three people there. we'd imagine many of you reading this have the same experience. that is a community.

something as amorpous as "the open source community" is, um, not that. it includes people who publicly advocate for the state-sponsored murder of other people in it. that's not caring.
