We gain on average 800 new followers per year, but in the last year (since before Linus made the GenAI-code-in-Linux posts) we gained around 1200.
It's great to see the wave of new interest. We're a community that's had 30 years to develop its culture, and things here might work a little bit differently than you expect. But don't let that discourage you from getting involved. This mastodon-account-manager first became a developer in 2018, and it's easily one of the best things she ever did.

@netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org So, I'm sick and burned out. I have no tact. So, like, it says no GenAI code, unless you have like explicit approval from the core team. Have...you ever done that or is it the diplomatic way to say "Ask us directly so we can tell you, personally, to fuck off."

@netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org would love to toy around but having no journaling filesystems sounds like the biggest roadblock to me rn
