> Very few, I'd say, especially as such views tend to be immediately downvoted and flagged into oblivion

They do have to be here to be voted down, though. But they show up often enough in threads that deviate into gender politics (particularly as regards hiring and women in tech,) gender biology and, unsurprisingly, feminism. And codes of conduct. For some weird reason, a lot of people seem to believe software codes of conduct are a feminist conspiracy.

Maybe because they saw what happened when SQLite adopted a non woke Code of Conduct.

Because they tend to get promoted by feminists, and then used to attack and shut down project members who aren't. Look at the NodeJS incident for an example.
