It's Twitter where essentially nobody has memory nor clicks off site so I guess I have to be explicit: I have been involved in open source/sci, replications, etc., since the start of my scientific career.

Nuanced points are tricky on this site but I have to say it isn't that nuanced to realise bad actors can exist in nominally good spaces.
It's actually a well-known thing within activism for this to happen and to need attention.Show this thread

I am seeing a split - there are people using "bro" to highlight a possible lack of concern for inclusivity; and there are people using "bro" to highlight what they perceive as inappropriate methods/tone/media of critique....
-
I don't see these as separate things; there are...let's call them "aggressive communication patterns"...that tend to be used by men. Their source is power and entitlement. A lack of diversity means that such communication patterns are normalised, though they exhaust others.
-
I grew up in online discussions (BBSs, USENET, IRC, web forums) and it took me a long time to see 1) how widespread it is in online culture, 2) how bad it could be, and 3) and that I need to keep it in check myself and listen to what others have to say about it.
-
Agreed...my default is that if someone has a concern, you listen and take it seriously. People don't just make up stuff (or not enough to over-ride this stance...back to T1 and T2 errors).
-
And I see your point on what I am calling a split perhaps at least partly originating from the same underlying cause - though I would still land on (Support Inclusivity) & (Not Filter Critique).
-
I am glad to hear you support inclusivity. That's huge because in the past on this issue I/we had almost no support from men in open science. Even just a few months ago (the most recent time we brought up inclusivity) there was no real support other than from a handful of women.
-
Also this idea of a split... I never felt comfortable with the bros. Some of the most bro-y bros have blocked me called me names. It's just we've been quiet(er) and the bros have been vocal.
