CW: Transphobia, ableism, misgendering

I've posted a video from Nicco Loves Linux covering the whole situation to the libre community here for context.

TL;DR: Vaxry, the lead developer of the popular Hyprland wayland compositor and tiling window manager has been banned from ever contributing a patch to freedesktop, a highly influential software group that is responsible for the modern Linux Desktop. This was due to him violating freedesktop's code of conduct because of his toxic discord community and crypto-fash blog. Vaxry then writes two screeds and throws a public temper tantrum, leading to inevitable clash when his nazi friends harass the freedesktop people.

(EDIT: Removed direct links to blog, the entire blog is pretty reactionary outside of the purely software related posts) The blog posts that got them banned:

    What if instead of a leftist woman banning me for being a neonazi it was a young leftist woman getting banned by a Christian org?

    You mean... Something that happened every single day for the last 1000 years, and we had no recourse or any platform from which to complain about it? And instead of asking us to not submit code, they tortured us to death for it?

      I just love it when Vaxry's gotcha moment is when he accepts a merge request from a trans contributor to prove he's not transphobic, never questioning why a trans person in his community would feel unsafe doing so.

      All the comments saying he's a little bitty baby and he doesn't know any better can go to the gulag
