  I agree that Vaxyr has a terrible record with community-building and tolerates bullying.

  I don’t think it’s fair to call him a Nazi sympathizer, based on the linked screenshots. He never said he espouses the ideology, he just said he wouldn’t blanket ban Nazis from his server. Obviously that’s a bad take, but it’s not the same as being a Nazi sympathizer.

    I don’t think that’s the point either, he said if they were Nazis but didn’t talk about it, he wouldn’t ban them, makes perfect sense because if someone isn’t talking about who they are on your Discord server, why would you ban them based on something you don’t care about (who they are, their ideology, their beliefs… etc), everyone is in there for the code (supposedly), but it seems the Vaxry is right, the person he’s talking to, is the extremist one, and I just hate it when someone goes to open source devs to virtue signal only to ger butthurt even more

    Internet really hates talented people I tell you that…

      If you bother to spend any time around him outside of the linked items I put, his nazi sympathizer traits become apparent.

    Tolerating them is a form of support. They make spaces unsafe for others.

      I agree and at this point I think I’m just making a semantic argument. To me, “Nazi sympathizer” implies that you share the beliefs of the Nazi party. But I’m not sure there is an agreed upon definition for this. Regardless I think it’s worth drawing a boundary between “people that share Nazi beliefs” and “people that tolerate Nazis”, and so I find it a little careless to use “Nazi sympathizer” as a blanket term for both. People might get the wrong idea when you start labeling them that way.

  I think you missed the point

    For some of us, this is very important.

      As much as what the program does?

        Yes, very much so. I actively choose not to use products made by people who I believe are dicks. In the case of a windows manager, I have better choices.

        It’s kinda like how people choose not to buy a Tesla because of Elon.

    The point has not been missed. The project does not deserve any hype.
