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
Oh neat I just learned about how shit the hyprland guy is.
Glad I opted for swayfx instead.
Btw, there is nothing more infuriating to chuds in FOSS than forking their code and telling them to fuck off lol
They love Free Software until they don’t lmao
