I’m scared to read other comments in this thread, because of how hateful people usually are when someone mentions Hyprland.
I made it one comment past this one before seeing such things
Hyprland needs a real fork and rebrand so that it’s not run by fascists.
Edit: because people want sources Vaxry is:
Looks like Vaxry simply refuses to ban people based on what they say/believe. How does that make him a fascist? Throwing labels like that around doesn’t help anyone, because when an actual fascist shows up and you label him as such, nobody will care.
If your bar is where all the Nazis go to hang out, I’m afraid you have a Nazi bar.
Maybe, but that doesn’t make the owner a nazi, does it? If black people like to hang out at a bar owned by a white/hispanic/asian person, does the owner magically become black?
The owner and proprietor of what is now a Nazi bar can’t decouple themselves from what it is they are operating. Which is the local Nazi bar.
Sure. Just to check, are saying Vaxry is a fascist?
Not Op here, from what I’ve read is that the answer to that question is unknown but he showed a significant tolerance for some. Does that make it himself fine? In my book: yes.
For me personally it was enoughto leave the project behind as it’s so closely tied to the person.
That’s a call everyone needs to do for themselves though if course
yes
Cool
I haven’t read the multi episode argument between him and the person from freedesktop but the more I see comments like yours the more I’m inclined to side with him. (Though skimming his linux related blogs makes him look like an edgy kid to me.)
Your first source does not prove he is a nazi sympathizer. It just says he does not want to ban nazis from his discord. That’s 2 different things. It could for example mean that he does not want to ban people that some person labels nazis. (everyone on reddit that disagrees with me is a nazi)
The second source is made from a clown. That’s the same guy that’s suspected of doing the Stallman hitpiece. (it was at some point hosted from his IP or something) That article is full of half-truths. For example it frames Stallman’s opinions on age of consent like he is a sex offender. Or his jokes about not caring about what will happen with his body after his death like he goes around munching.
I guess my point is that overblowing things only digs deeper trenches between the “sides” for no reason. I am not arguing that he is innocent, just that your comment might make some people think that “the wokies are trying to cancel vaxry” and ignore even legitimate critiques of him (or generally ${CONTROVERSIAL_PERSON}).
Source?
Open!

Not op, I don’t have the links but there are many very questionable blogposts made by hyprland’s main dev about politics and especially trans people. As a trans person it made me leave hyprland for good and switch to sway.
surprisingly the fascists are catching up fairly quickly
This is a pretty clear cut case. Vaxry is:
Could you elaborate? I’m interested :)
The main dev is very talented but very young and an edge-lord.
There’s some drama about the discord being super toxic and one case where he changed someone’s pronouns in their discord role from they/them to who/cares of something like that.
Don’t try. The amount of politics on that topic is a waste of time.
This is a pretty clear cut case. Vaxry is:
Same song everytime and no new examples. I guess people can never change.
Last I checked the discord still has these types of people, so it’s still valid.
Yeah these smear campaigns are limp dick.
Skmilar thing with grapheneos. Sure that guy is socially inept but the code is good. I use their code and descard the spazzing.
Mega corps do people way dirtier than what these clowns muster up yes all these normies still sucking Tim Apple, and sundar the creeps dicks daily… No issue them being “nazi”
Just keep on using that spyware
People should learn to separate developers from their software. Assholes are everywhere, with this approach we can end up ditching every piece of software existing.
Gaming with VRR is finally viable in this version!
