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.

    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

      Fr, you can disagree with someone and still make use of the software they create. Especially because you’re not even directly supporting them monetarily.

      lemmy is not a great comparison, there’s like 3 alternatives, there are tens if not more hyprland alternatives.

      i don’t think software is just software, why would this tech be exempt? pilot-less aircrafts is just tech, just like software, but we do remember that drones bomb people. supporting problematic developers is not “as bad” as building killing machines, but it’s the same principle: looking the other way when it’s convenient. we should aim to ostracize and isolate problematic devs, and it starts by not using their software, because doing so gives them clout and relevance

        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
