I was reading react docs this morning and noticed the theme change. Pretty cool!

Why only JS community? Language entry level matters?
Wanted to try Node but saw all this "politics" and now decided to use Flutter. Thank you, BLM!
I am Russian, I don't separate people by color. BLM does! CLM! And life without consciousness doesn't matter. Kind wishes and bye, Node (and thank the author for the extended list of what matters for me)!
Vanilla is for a white boy! (I don't separate, they just told me that I am white )
And #Flutter.

I think it's more important that you feel comfortable voicing your opinion here than anything else.

In the realm of programming everyone should feel welcome.

What I didn't understand is your comment about Node and Flutter. Could you explain that to me? I understood something about a political statement being on the Node JS site so you decided to use Flutter instead. Is my understanding correct?

Just so you remember... Dev.to is a community which supports each and everyone here. Sorry if you were offended.

Hello dear friend!
I was not offended at all! (BLM yes, offends me - I saw their faces) I was... confused.
I am Russian and I don't care the color. But I care the logic and consciousness.

As for me, that was the sign "DON'T ENTER" And I didn't.

Yes, you understood me absolutely right, in this context Flutter is just a word.
If you are interested, I need to choose the minimalistic and ultramodern tool to build SPA.
And it would be Vanilla. I am afraid Node now! And moreover, I have to install their binaries! No!

Thank you for your kind words, Bernard and best wishes for the new year!

p.s. there was a question in the beginning of my comment, did you miss this? ok, that was a rhetorical question.

You call JS community something wrong. Here is JS community for example: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...

And thank you for a good hashtag for a bad communities.

It's awful politics are creeping in to the tech field. It could get worse, and I don't think developers appreciate it.

I know what you mean, but it's better late than never. Many of us hope this will bring more awareness to racial inequalities and finally bring some change for the better!
