someone can send me a link explaning what's happening?
It's a hostile takeover by a handful of politically far-left individuals, stealing power away from Nix's creator, Eelco, framed by them as "giving power to the community," when they really just want to establish their own oligarchy and run moderation their way.
Just like Eelco's way of governing, it will likely have 0 effect on 99% of people using NixOS, but a handful of maintainers will be mad. Nothing will change for those out of the loop.
How well NixOS and Nixpkgs are maintained absolutely affects users of NixOS. This may have just saved NixOS from becoming an unmaintained or at best slowly maintained project that people advise against using for anything serious.
What I'm saying is that there will be no change in how well they are maintained.
I hope so. Split efforts often die independent of one another.
