    The bread and butter for anyone wanting a TLDR:

    The FDO team is right that Hyprland’s community reflects poorly on the Linux desktop community as a whole. Vaxry [the Hyprland Dev] has created a foothold for hate, transphobia, homophobia, bullying, and harassment in the Linux desktop community. We are right to take action to correct this problem.

      And on that note, I condemn in the harshest terms the response from communities like /r/linux on the subject. The vile harassment and hate directed at the FDO officer in question is obscene and completely unjustifiable. I don’t care what window manager or desktop environment you use – this kind of behavior is completely uncalled for. I expect better.

      Oh wow. That community is just hateful

        And now in the r/linux thread about these news people are defending Vaxry, misrepresenting what the ban was about, and hating FDO.

        Indicatively, this blatantly wrong comment chain is upvoted:

        Is this the project where some red Hat dev started dropping legal threats from their corporate account over offline activities by third parties in unrelated communities years past?

        Sort of. You got some details wrong but essentially, yes.

        But this is downvoted and has replies telling them they’re wrong:

        Congratulations to the hyprland project, but I definitely will not be using or contributing to the project as long as it’s an exclusionary and intolerant space.
