    Watching the discussion here I finally get how it feels like to be a centrist. And it feels dirty.

    Anyway, good for them, or whatever. Hyprland was a’ight when I tested it, even if it ain’t my thing. Still hoping for a Wayland Compositor that gives an XFCE-type experience (that is to say, UX without Gnome’s ‘opinionated’ weirdness, and without all the fancy effects that Plasma has. Relatively lighter, also looks a bit retro)

    In other words, Vaxry is so unwilling to compromise or learn from others that he would rather isolate his project from the broader FOSS community. That says a lot about him and the people who support him, especially since this conflict with freedesktop.org started over Vaxry condoning hateful trolling of trans people within the Hyprland community.

    This is a problem for me as a Hyprland user because if I share some rice I made or make suggestions for other users, I’m leading people into a community that may be actively hateful towards them. It utterly extinguishes any enthusiasm I have for the project. I like the software but I’d rather be part of a project and a community that I can feel good and excited about. Maybe time to find a new tiling Wayland compositor.

    For everyone shitting about Vaxry, I recommend reading both sides of the equation, not only FDO/Drew’s.

        Nice job on not adding nothing relevant other than “(Folks that doesn’t like the same stuff as I do) are (buzzwords).” – you are not better than em.

          What is there more to add? I literally read both sides arguments and seen the evidence. Hyperlands community is a cesspool. They are extremely hateful against everyone who isn’t an english speaking white straight man and even then you are not safe from their hate. When Vaxry was called out on his communities behaviour the immediate reaction was aggression and once he was banned from FDO he played the victim. This is right out of the fascists playbook.

          Whether I am better then them or not was never the question and also requires a criteria to measure against. If ability to be hateful against transpeople is the criteria, then I have to admit I am thoroughly beaten.

      American left-wing values

      Hold up, what? The Overton window of US politics is so skewed to the right that what is usually considered left-wing there is right-wing elsewhere. US left-wing (read right-wing for much of the rest of the world) values are definitely common globally due to American cultural export (read military hegemony and neocolonialism).

          woke ideology

          Like basic respect for others?

          not allowed to say anything

          Yeah, this is just not true. Unlike those who are actually marginalized, these people say nasty shit and claim that being called a dickhead for it is a violation of their freedom of speech. The reality is that they actually want some sort of immunity to backlash for their own words and actions, effectively limiting other people’s freedom of expression.
