Hot take: #bropenscience *is* sexist...and alienates the very people that we want on our side. Science is, objectively, dominated by men, but I'm not sure this is the right approach. It feels a little bit like if we got called "lady scientists". Dismissed by gender.

This is incorrect. What have you given you that impression? Ppl have tried placing OSS both to the right & to the left, but truth is that OSS ppl come from all over. What unites them is typically disliking of copyright - a disliking we actually share with most capitalists.

My view is that the left seem to have a louder voice on certain issues... of course my perception is skewed because my echo chamber is mostly left leaning so I can't say that with certainty. I'm also to the left, but I think we're creating a negative perception of ourselves.

"OSS ppl come from all over" I'm sure they do but it doesn't change how the ideologies line up or the history of the movement(s). With respect to a "negative perception of ourselves". I'm not convinced, but it's possible of course.

If you're interested in what I alluded to above: "Something is absurd about the idea that [FOSS] is apolitical. How could a movement that changes the way software is produced and alters conventional notions about the rights of users not be political[?]"http://www.ocsmag.com/2019/02/27/free-softwares-radical-past/ …

"FOSS projects are voluntary associations. They are self-governing — not always perfectly democratic, but with community involvement in the governing."
-
"Quietly, without fuss, FOSS projects everywhere have implemented almost point by point the characteristics of the type of Anarchism that was tried in Catalan during the Spanish Civil War."

And here's an interesting piece that come to the conclusion that OSS is built on liberal values. Which basically can be placed on either side (right/left) depending on your definition of liberalism. https://scholar.google.se/scholar?cluster=13817171290286272063&hl=en&as_sdt=0,5#d=gs_qabs&u=%23p%3DMymTihwWh9UJ …
