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.

Discord fails to include a libre software license text file. We do not control it, anti-libre software.

Vaxry's a shitbird and I'm glad people aren't quiet about it. "It's just software, why does everyone make it political", mfer software is inherently political. FOSS even more so. You can use whatever you want, but that doesn't shield you from contributing to a fash asshole's power within the community. If you're comfy with that, I'm just as comfy calling you out for letting the Nazi into the bar

I disagree with you. Of course having any actual point to disagree with you gets my comment removed, because Lemmy is awesome and is free speech and stuff. Yay. This shit is infuriating.

Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison could have both had kids in their basement, would that stop me from using electricity absolutely fucking not, someone invents something I like, and is useful to me, I use it, I don't fucking care what he thinks about anything, he could be best mates with fucking Kanye and make music about how he fucked his cousin, I'd still use it, it's open source and useful, he works on it full time from what it seems and maintains it for himself and not you lot and your huge fucking egos who think everything revolves around you. He wanted to make something he'd find useful and decided to share it with the world.

Would you stop using anything mass manufactured, just because Henry Ford, who did in fact have actual Nazi ideals, hated Jews and worker's rights, invented the conveyor belt, and call anybody that uses mass manufactured items a fascist?

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.
