Framework flame war erupts over support of politically polarizing Linux projects

A community for everything relating to the GNU/Linux operating system (except the memes!)

Most of the discourse was about Omarchy/DHH, not just Hyprland, though that was a part of it. It is not purity testing to block people who don't work well with others or are hateful like DHH from a community. If you want to bring people who want us dead into a community then everyone else is going to leave
The main problem is
You cant claim to be pro immigrant and pro lgbt when you actively invite white supremacists and transphobes into the community and then try to avoid responsibility for that by not commenting or not retracting support or not clarifying how you'd avoid it going forward
The project may not be political (it is) but the people who use and support the project definitely are. If you want to kick out the community by inviting Nazis, then all that will be left once those people leave will be nazis. And if you knowingly collaborate with Nazis, you are a nazi.
Because the "update" to the blog post was:
As a way to not talk about DHH/Omarchy directly, or the promotion they were doing (which was many times more than anything else they were talking about).
I'll admit, I only vaguely know of DHH by name and Rails, vaguely remember the Omarchy announcement, and that's about it. I seem to recall Prime referencing DHH's controversial opinions, but I can't say I've gone any deeper than that.
If the discourse really is primarily focused on DHH/Omarchy, then I guess I just misunderstood this post/title & the article...or just don't have the full context regardless.
