He suggest too that voting in actual swing state can matter, while if you are in a state ruled by some party there your vote doesn't matter in the first past the post system.

Anark mostly argues that caring about electoralism for structural reasons is waste of time if you want to improve the situation. I do agree with very slight "voting as a harm reduction" argument but it's very easy to go in the direction of actually caring to much about electoralism as a vehicle of a social change, which historically and structurally is indeed wrong. Direct organizing in the real world is what makes meaningful change in the world.

It's not relevant, because this title gives only status and not actual power, people can still fork the software and modify it however they want.

You can fork it, sure Linus is very respected and his decisions are considered very important but you can fork it and change however you want so it's still compatible with Anarchism.
