Drew Naylor<p>I think the term "gnubro" should exist as a variant of FOSSbro.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/fossbro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fossbro</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/fossbros" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fossbros</span></a></p>

Lars Lehtonen<p><a href="https://lsngl.us/tags/fossbro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fossbro</span></a> is as imaginary a construct as <a href="https://lsngl.us/tags/berniebro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>berniebro</span></a>.
