Improving diversity in this community

That was the original plan, yes, however if unfortunately got under the bus because it was a busy time.

However, I find it important to acknowledge that simply waving a flag does not make a supportive community on its own. We need to put tangible actions behind our words.

As a start, I find it important to look into the reasons why a lot of (predominantly queer) people left the community. To actually listen. And when I do that, the #1 complaint I hear is that way too little is done against trolls, abusers and harassment.

Because @samueldr already mentioned RFC 175, I definitely remember how it was somehow kept open as if it was an RFC like any else, despite it containing a hateful manifesto against several community members. I also remember how known community members teamed up with banned ex-community members on r/NixOS, to harass people at the gates of our community. And stories like these abound, I just picked the first two that came to my mind for exemplary purposes.

These are the issues that need to be worked on.
