Personally I’d rather have a choice of who to follow based on whose opinions align better with my own, instead of everyone being forced to go with the majority…
NixOS is FOSS. People can freely fork it. Your choice is not being taken away.

Typically this is done by adopting a CoC and then adding things to it that you don’t like. But I have seen more hostile methods too.
… Yes. You will have to behave like a civilized adult. If your opinion is that you shouldn’t have to, then you are correct that I do not respect that opinion.
