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:

Critical support to Red Hat Enterprise Linux and their never-ending crusade to destroy white people 
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?
the wise man bowed his head solemnly and spoke: “theres actually zero difference between good & bad things. you imbecile. you fucking moron”
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

By the way I’m infinitely grateful for hexbear being such a great site to be trans in. Every single other thread about this topic has some chud whining about muh free speech and making up conspiracies.
Transphobes fuck off
As a cis man, I’ve found hexbear to be an incredible resource on how to be a better ally to a close relative who is trans.
As someone who’s been exclusively Linux-at-home for about a quarter-century, I am constantly disappointed in the chuds who infest the various subcultures in the broader Linux community. Trying to explain basic fucking empathy to these people is an uphill battle. Honestly it’s made me leery of contributing code to established projects. Instead I just do small from-scratch projects for myself. At least then I know the project founder isn’t a bigot.
Obligatory fuck varxy. It’s easier to switch to Sway than to get help on the Hypeland discord.
How can someone be a big contributor to a FOSS project and use discord at the same time?
terminally online ones who put their self worth in terms of the number of commits they put out each day. Vaxry somehow hates socializing with people but also craves all the attention he receives for working on Hyprland.
disturbingly many cases
Fascists aren’t known for their ideological consistency.
I’ve had the misfortune of compiling hyprland and then running it only to be jumpscared by uwu anime girl mascot while my friend was watching after I had told them how cool Linux was.
There was a bug for a while where it would randomly show the girl when fulldcreening windows. Totally a needed feature.
idk, being able to download some software, compile it yourself, point at it and say “ah, this was made by a fascist” and then use something different, hits in a way on linux that windows and mac just can’t offer.
Lemmy.ml does this shit too lol
Petition to launch techbros into the sun
Code of Conduct stays winning.
r/linux and having a complete meltdown at just like the concept of a code of conduct
name a better duo
Trans software devs should be allowed to, like, kill the cis ones.
Unlimited genocide and/or forced feminization on techbros
they’re such snide little removed jesus fucking christ “um mind explaining to the class why you said it’s okay to bully transphobes?? but i’m not trying to start a hate campaign or anything, tee hee, but if anyone’s interested and motivated to dig through a trans woman’s social media for things to get mad at please be my guest.” shut the fuck up and pull the trigger you worthless shithead.
Vaxry pulling up a trans person social media page on his blog to complain about her transness while also being put on blast for transphobia to subsequently being banned
I don’t even mind the people who agree with Vaxry (because they are all transphobic neckbeard shitheads who have never talked to a trans person in real life) but the liberals who play the civility game and say that the trans person and the crypto-fash antisocial creep are both bad because one of them used their company email.

Lot of transphobes out tonight. Keep showing yourselves, my b& hammer was getting rusty.
Oh neat I just learned about how shit the hyprland guy is.
Glad I opted for swayfx instead.
r/Linux when you don’t use le based difficult distributions only for enlightened geniouses: 😡😡😡
r/Linux when you are either an hivdmind liberal or a cryptofash (and they’re close): 🥰🥰🥰
Please use archive.is instead of linking to that blog
Just fixed it, thank you for mentioning this.
oh Vaxry is from
? That both explains a lot and causes me to discard the rest of these blog posts as trashIm related to one of the original developers of redhat
