CW: Transphobia, ableism, misgendering
I’ve posted a video from Nicco Loves Linux covering the whole situation to the libre community here for context.
TL;DR: Vaxry, the lead developer of the popular Hyprland wayland compositor and tiling window manager has been banned from ever contributing a patch to freedesktop, a highly influential software group that is responsible for the modern Linux Desktop. This was due to him violating freedesktop’s code of conduct because of his toxic discord community and crypto-fash blog. Vaxry then writes two screeds and throws a public temper tantrum, leading to inevitable clash when his nazi friends harass the freedesktop people.
(EDIT: Removed direct links to blog, the entire blog is pretty reactionary outside of the purely software related posts) The blog posts that got them banned:

: “I’M NOT MAD I’M NOT MAD”
Critical support to Red Hat Enterprise Linux and their never-ending crusade to destroy white people 
oh Vaxry is from
? That both explains a lot and causes me to discard the rest of these blog posts as trashr/linux has been suspect for a long time.
Years ago I noticed they had the sub set to auto remove posts on as low as a couple of user reports. I don’t know if it’s still that set up that way. I bailed on that place a long time ago.
People seemed to be intentionally abusing that to shadow moderate the subreddit. They seemed to be primarily targeting posts and comments with anything related to China or Chinese origin authors/topics. Maybe even any topics or authors of east Asia all together? I never pieced together a clearer picture.
It was obvious there was unusual behavior going on with certain types of posts getting [removed]. The one topic they didn’t touch was when the Asian American college student was doing a research study about submitting patches to the Linux kernel. The whole sub was having a meltdown over it even though what they did was superfluous changes and they had done so under the approval of the university.
I tried myself to fuck with it a bit getting some posts removed by reporting from a couple of accounts. The mods almost immediately reinstated the posts.
Lot of transphobes out tonight. Keep showing yourselves, my b& hammer was getting rusty.
Please use archive.is instead of linking to that blog
Just fixed it, thank you for mentioning this.

How can someone be a big contributor to a FOSS project and use discord at the same time?
disturbingly many cases
terminally online ones who put their self worth in terms of the number of commits they put out each day. Vaxry somehow hates socializing with people but also craves all the attention he receives for working on Hyprland.
Fascists aren’t known for their ideological consistency.
I’ve had the misfortune of compiling hyprland and then running it only to be jumpscared by uwu anime girl mascot while my friend was watching after I had told them how cool Linux was.
idk, being able to download some software, compile it yourself, point at it and say “ah, this was made by a fascist” and then use something different, hits in a way on linux that windows and mac just can’t offer.

Fuck wayland. X11 gang.
All the cool trans people are in wayland, it’s just the one crypto-fash chud who wants to make this space unsafe. Compositors are implementations of wayland protocols and this chud got banned from ever contributing to wayland and the linux desktop outside of his compositor.
Wayland vs. X11 is linux debatebro nonsense.
Lemmy.ml does this shit too lol
Petition to launch techbros into the sun
r/linux and having a complete meltdown at just like the concept of a code of conduct
name a better duo
Unlimited genocide and/or forced feminization on techbros
r/Linux when you don’t use le based difficult distributions only for enlightened geniouses: 😡😡😡
r/Linux when you are either an hivdmind liberal or a cryptofash (and they’re close): 🥰🥰🥰
You really shouldn’t bite the hand that fixes your kernel, get fucked
Trans software devs should be allowed to, like, kill the cis ones.
By the way I’m infinitely grateful for hexbear being such a great site to be trans in. Every single other thread about this topic has some chud whining about muh free speech and making up conspiracies.
As a cis man, I’ve found hexbear to be an incredible resource on how to be a better ally to a close relative who is trans.
As someone who’s been exclusively Linux-at-home for about a quarter-century, I am constantly disappointed in the chuds who infest the various subcultures in the broader Linux community. Trying to explain basic fucking empathy to these people is an uphill battle. Honestly it’s made me leery of contributing code to established projects. Instead I just do small from-scratch projects for myself. At least then I know the project founder isn’t a bigot.
Transphobes fuck off
Code of Conduct stays winning.
