    The NixOS community is forked on a regular basis. So is the nixpkgs community. The focus here is on control of CppNix, e.g. blocking the autotools-to-meson PR.

    It’s pretty easy to have opinions that the mods and Foundation don’t like. Be polite and you’ll be fine. Also, don’t be like Jon, who thinks “polite” means smiling through gritted teeth and being passive-aggressive.

      Which nixos community forks are there? I’m not aware of any?

      It’s easy as long as you don’t voice them. If they disagree, then it’s the end of the discussion. They hold the power so whatever they don’t like won’t happen or your discussion will be moved to a new topic and unlisted. That does seem to happen fairly regularly.
