I agree that Vaxyr has a terrible record with community-building and tolerates bullying.
I don’t think it’s fair to call him a Nazi sympathizer, based on the linked screenshots. He never said he espouses the ideology, he just said he wouldn’t blanket ban Nazis from his server. Obviously that’s a bad take, but it’s not the same as being a Nazi sympathizer.
I don’t think that’s the point either, he said if they were Nazis but didn’t talk about it, he wouldn’t ban them, makes perfect sense because if someone isn’t talking about who they are on your Discord server, why would you ban them based on something you don’t care about (who they are, their ideology, their beliefs… etc), everyone is in there for the code (supposedly), but it seems that Vaxry is right, the person he’s talking to, is the extremist one, and I just hate it when someone goes to open source devs to virtue signal only to get butthurt even more
Internet really hates talented people I tell you that…
If you bother to spend any time around him outside of the linked items I put, his nazi sympathizer traits become apparent.
It’s draining to me to have to explain this because like all fash, they understand that they should only use degwhistles and never blatantly say something stupid like “I’m literally a nazi”.
Yes, very much so. I actively choose not to use products made by people who I believe are dicks. In the case of a windows manager, I have better choices.
It’s kinda like how people choose not to buy a Tesla because of Elon.
Edit: I understand the hypocrisy of me using Lemmy. Lmao.
Hyprland needs a real fork and rebrand so that it’s not run by fascists.
Vaxry is:
lol

I think you missed the point
For some of us, this is very important.
As much as what the program does?

The point has not been missed. The project does not deserve any hype.
