:-) We used to talk occasionally but when he went full MAGA I cut off contact.

:-)

What I found odd is that when I talk to Emacs groups about it, the
idea of it promoting the editor, helping people get used to it,
gaining them new users, etc. does not wash at all. It feels very like
the old Debian community: we like it just fine how it is, thank you
very much. If newbies are worthy, they will learn it just as we
learned it. Then we will welcome them.

Which is _exactly_ what Ubuntu was set up to counter, of course, and
which it has done very well indeed.

Although without winning a lot of people over from Debian, AFAICT.

Ah well. :shrug:

:-) I think that's true of most people, TBH.
