I agree that Vaxyr has a terrible record with community-building and tolerates bullying.
I don’t think it’s fair to call him a Nazi sympathizer, based on the linked screenshots. He never said he espouses the ideology, he just said he wouldn’t blanket ban Nazis from his server. Obviously that’s a bad take, but it’s not the same as being a Nazi sympathizer.
If you bother to spend any time around him outside of the linked items I put, his nazi sympathizer traits become apparent.
It’s draining to me to have to explain this because like all fash, they understand that they should only use degwhistles and never blatantly say something stupid like “I’m literally a nazi”.
I agree and at this point I think I’m just making a semantic argument. To me, “Nazi sympathizer” implies that you share the beliefs of the Nazi party. But I’m not sure there is an agreed upon definition for this. Regardless I think it’s worth drawing a boundary between “people that share Nazi beliefs” and “people that tolerate Nazis”, and so I find it a little careless to use “Nazi sympathizer” as a blanket term for both. People might get the wrong idea when you start labeling them that way.
Yes, very much so. I actively choose not to use products made by people who I believe are dicks. In the case of a windows manager, I have better choices.
It’s kinda like how people choose not to buy a Tesla because of Elon.
Edit: I understand the hypocrisy of me using Lemmy. Lmao.
Hyprland needs a real fork and rebrand so that it’s not run by fascists.

Tolerating them is a form of support. They make spaces unsafe for others.

The point has not been missed. The project does not deserve any hype.
For some of us, this is very important.

At least you’re self aware of your own selective complacency.
More. To be so concerned with minute technicalities that one concedees to lunacy is a sign of weakness and mediocrity.
