It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

r/linux moment: Scolds trans woman for being too mean to a transphobe (reddit.com)

CW: Transphobia, ableism, misgendering

I've posted a video from Nicco Loves Linux covering the whole situation to the libre community here for context.

TL;DR: Vaxry, the lead developer of the popular Hyprland wayland compositor and tiling window manager has been banned from ever contributing a patch to freedesktop, a highly influential software group that is responsible for the modern Linux Desktop. This was due to him violating freedesktop's code of conduct because of his toxic discord community and crypto-fash blog. Vaxry then writes two screeds and throws a public temper tantrum, leading to inevitable clash when his nazi friends harass the freedesktop people.

(EDIT: Removed direct links to blog, the entire blog is pretty reactionary outside of the purely software related posts) The blog posts that got them banned:

What if instead of a leftist woman banning me for being a neonazi it was a young leftist woman getting banned by a Christian org?

You mean... Something that happened every single day for the last 1000 years, and we had no recourse or any platform from which to complain about it? And instead of asking us to not submit code, they tortured us to death for it?

I just love it when Vaxry's gotcha moment is when he accepts a merge request from a trans contributor to prove he's not transphobic, never questioning why a trans person in his community would feel unsafe doing so.

All the comments saying he's a little bitty baby and he doesn't know any better can go to the gulag

And, like, we wouldn't be contributing the Christian org in the first place. People join projects that accept them... exclusionary projects don't take off in the first place, or else don't last long.
