    this guy was IIRC also furiously defending the totally not nazis at Nix

    still this post is a glorious example of a defense brief that would work even better for the prosecution

    i did stumble over a worse one just now: a guy banned from the Mesa community for being a Nazi defends himself by saying he only said that:

    if I run a discord server around cultivating tomatoes, I should not exclude people based on their political beliefs, unless they use my discord server to spread those views. which means even if they are literally adolf hitler, I shouldn’t care, as long as they don’t post about gassing people on my server

    that is inclusivity

    and writing a prosecution brief about himself in his defense

      lol I learned about this the other day when marcan posted about it, and I had a good giggle

      iirc: poor l’il fashbaby has some kind of problems with his thing, but he can’t turn anywhere because the linux graphics community is kinda small and enough people went “lol get fucked” that it effectively closed doors everywhere

      the world’s smallest violin, etc etc

      Yes, you unfortunately are seeing right. A person (name of whom I will censor even though you can find their name easily by going to the issue page) went onto the Hyprland bug tracker, to call me, a Nazi.

      ah, this is the part of the Wayland community that’s now notorious for being a Nazi bar, specifically because their discord and every other community space did in fact have a gigantic number of nazis (some of whom were moderators) “joking” about, among other things, gassing people

      e: (and also just a fuckton of outright bigotry, see Drew’s posts on this for a sample of what I mean)

      here’s Drew Devault’s take on that blog post and also his first blog post that covered the ways in which Hyprland is a Nazi bar
