      He’s an attention-seeking edgelord and a buffoon, but I highly doubt the Nazi allegations. This comes from someone who genuinely believes in the right to punch Nazis. We need to be careful about throwing the Nazi-card in all directions, or the real ones will slip through the cracks (some have already managed to skip into positions of power while us plebs are squabbling). He did a couple of insanely stupid things that he should have grown out of by age 15, hopefully he learned from that.

    Awesome! I hope he will help share this with more folks, the friends who I’ve talked into finally giving modern non-Ubuntu Linux a shot love it, but there’s a lot of work to get over the damaged image created by the countless “linux user installing a browser” memes. I’m sure someone with his reach can help though :)

      I’m out of the loop on this one? A Swedish using a Polish WM, and you call them Nazis?

      I know that the hyprland dev has strong political opinions, but I genuinely dont know what they are because I don’t care, and I use another WM. Are they really both Nazis? I dont know because I dont follow these guys. I dont want this word to be misused when actual Nazis are trying to take over the free world again

        Vaxry was acting Polish in front of Drew DeVault and was immediately labeled nazi apologist.

        The discussion went like this:

        — is there anything that could sway your opinion towards genocide?

        — well, claiming “no” would be presumptuous, I am just a human, so, probably yes?

        — I rest my case

      Honestly I started looking into it (found some articles from 2017 where he showed Nazi imagery) and started asking myself wtf am I doing.

      Calling people Nazis over the tamest crap is so old. I’m so done with the liberal crowd on Lemmy jerking each other off over simplistic issues. Get a grip.

        He said a no no word in a fit of rage in a livestream over half a decade ago. Ever since then he’s spent time being a better person. But internet neckbeards never forgive.
