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:

    All the cool trans people are in wayland, it's just the one crypto-fash chud who wants to make this space unsafe. Compositors are implementations of wayland protocols and this chud got banned from ever contributing to wayland and the linux desktop outside of his compositor.

    Wayland vs. X11 is linux debatebro nonsense.
