I don't get the general "we are not political" idea.

Everything is political. The conscious decision to stay put is as political as everything else.

What they want to say is: "We don't want to get involved in this and save our face while doing so"

I wouldn't go that far. Irssi could have not taken a political stance, by ignoring what happened and not committing last week's change. But now that that's done, reverting it was political too. You can avoid a political issue, but once you ring the bell, you can't un-ring it.

nah m8. everything is political. they’re basically saying they’re oke with the destruction of a community and the hostile intentions against FOSS because of one man’s megalomaniacal psyche.

anyone that thinks most decisions are apolitical are living in a vacuum tube or are just too privileged to give a shit. too many ppl in tech dont want to put themselves in another’s shoes

Inaction is political as well. There's no neutral instance. Keeping in the freenode is not "apolitical" is backing freenode.
