Why I'm leaving discuss.python.org

Hey… That radical democratic Marxist-feminist theorist sounds like it might be me :-).

But like Steve, I’m fed up with the censorious tone and attitude of Discourse, and the frankly abysmal behavior of moderators.

I prefer to actually DO SOMETHING to rectify global iniquities rather than wring hands with a conviction of self-superiority. Hence part of why I just gave a keynote at PyCon Nigeria and brought a bunch of books to attendees… And spoke about genuine equality and progressive politics.

And y’know… I spoke about gay rights, gender equality, trans inclusion, religious tolerance, etc over here… Including open criticism of the Nigerian government (and acknowledgement of how also f***ed up US society is in its own ways)
