Like y'all keep posting about it, praising it, giving it free advertisement, and what not.

But the dev is a fascist, the discord server is a fascist bar, and the project thus is fascist.

I've met people who were harassed, I browsed through now deleted messages of Vaxry using slurrs and more.

So I wonder is if the people who post constantly about it know and are complicit, or just don't know and would act otherwise?

It gets tiring to see the project be given "fame" when I know the roots of the plants are founded in toxicity & abuse.

You call man a bigot and you make a drama publicly because you can't stand how he can have a different opinion or way of living than you, right? Guess that makes you... a bigot? 😉

I made myself a promise to donate to Hyprland and Vaxry every time I see bad press against him. And I just made another payment. He makes good software and this is something he should concentrate on and just like many others on this thread: I don't care if he has one opinion or the other. You don't like it? Just don't engage with him, his Discord or Hyprland, let the guy have his space.

Or make another bad press and make me donate again, I'll happily do that💪🏻

You also donate to the KKK? How's your investment in anti-trans communities going so far, what's the ROI? Happy with all the hatred you are fueling?

If you honestly throw KKK and Vaxry into the same bucket then I guess it speaks for yourself: as for me, I'm not going deeper into conversation if this is how it starts ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I didn't do it. He did that himself, he [pretty much, in other words] said:

"I'm fine with a genocidal transphobe homophobe racist antisemite literal murderer being welcomed of my software community if he was alive now. As long as he keeps his crimes against humanity off the main focus: my project and my project alone."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
