      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.

          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.

                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

      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}).

      Same song everytime and no new examples. I guess people can never change.

          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.
