FDO's conduct enforcement actions regarding Vaxry
drewdevault.com

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.

    After reading a lot of the material I am not convinced the hyprland dev can reasonably be called a “fascist”.

    It’s an interesting story, though.

    I think it’s really funny how in proprietary software, if you download stuff without asking, you’re presumed to have economically harmed a business. But in free and open source software, if you download stuff without asking, you’re presumed to have economically benefited the random individual that made the project.

            My morals come from my religion and not from some arbitrary standards set by a Western supremacist, who thinks their culture is superior to everyone else and the rest of the world is “primitive”. Promoting a tool by itself is not morally wrong. It seems like some people have a very low opinion about other people. They think that others will not be able to differentiate between a tool and the morals of its makers. I am sorry that I have a much higher opinion about adults.

              Who is the Western supremacist in this scenario and what relationship do they have to morality? Kinda makes or breaks your whole argument

    I don’t really care, the Lemmy devs also got some funky political opinions but I’m still here

    at the end of the day software is software and this stuff is all free and open source anyway

        The software itself does not harm anyone, considering it is free software and nobody has to contribute money to use it, i don’t care. If you feel so outraged by it, fork the software and develop your own version. At least with free software you have that option, as opposed to proprietary software where you have no option.

        I’m not using Hyperland personally, but i’m not opposed to people using it.

        I’d rather not get banned from this community by arguing that.

        At any rate that’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying the political views don’t matter, the software does and its great
