There are many software from bigots and shitheads that still get used, being seperated from their creator (e.g. Hyprland, I guess you can put here some social media platforms like Xitter if we’re not only talking about open-source software). Although I prefer not using or supporting such software, I’ve not been able to find what you’re talking about. I’ve tried searching “ladybird pronoun controversy (forgive my search engine skills)” and other similar sentences but nothing really related pops up, so it would be great if you told me your source. Thank you!

The whole Vaxxry controversy is largely bullshit from both sides. The original complaint was something said in his Discord server, and that he didn’t police it enough. Not something bigoted he himself said. Vaxxry was right to defend himself given their CoC doesn’t apply to his Discord server, and talking about how they are trying to improve the moderation there.
Vaxxry from the little I know of him doesn’t seem that bigoted. He certainly isn’t progressive by any means. He does espouse tolerance for other political viewpoints, which is more than can be said for a lot of projects.

Thank you very much! I guess it makes sense a little bit that the lead developer of an older-style operating system is a conservative, but I was still not expecting it. It’s pretty sad that this seems to be the only new web browser engine that has actual support.

Yeah it’s really annoying. We need more browser engines and alternatives to the current web standards. The current way these things is not fit for purpose, and is making it easy for google to establish a monopoly on the web. I think wasm helps with this somewhat, but it isn’t popular enough yet nor is it a complete solution.
