They have virtually no moderators (they all quit because they were burnt out and manipulated), filled with racist 
, and are associated deeply with anti-migrant violence and warmongering (Anduril) who hire people straight out of NixOS to build weapons to fund imperialism everywhere.
Go use Guix instead (they don't rely on free GitHub credits or limitless AWS S3 buckets) and are objectively superior on a technical standpoint (no "experimental features" that everyone considers stable) and don't give any shit about nonfree software unless you provide it, or only contribute to nixpkgs (collective infra) and outside projects like Lix/Snix.
Avoid the NixOS community at all costs if you value your emotional labor. Even the chuds have done this with things like Determinate Systems Nix ("Nix without the drama") and making their own corpo shill platform called "flakehub"

There is no liberalism anymore, only fascist cultural hegemony that will take over every space it can.
Ngl I'm not going to move to guix. I see where you're coming from, but I don't see the point in ceding ground to these MIC people. I use Lix on my systems and I'd happily switch to lixpkgs if that ever happens. I have never paid attention to whatever the nix steering committee is or what they do. Basically every company involved in tech is in bed with the MIC and probably Israel. I struggle to see the difference between HP and Framework. There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Retreating to another more obscure version of the same type of tech is fine if that's what you want to do, but imo it has just as much effect as me staying on nix.
Which isn't to say there aren't good things about guix, its just not mature enough for my uses. I've spent a lot of years running my shit on experimental systems and it was fun, but I'm trying to spend my time on the
rn so I can't really justify the time sink anymore.
