    I’ll quote Vaxry from his blog:

    “Obviously, the fact that I am banned from contributing to Freedesktop - and by extension wlroots, is another big factor, and probably the one that finally tipped the scales, because I am no longer allowed to participate in discussion or contribute code to wlroots.”

    “I definitely am not a fan of how seemingly weak people online, especially teenagers, have become. Words are just words. Someone calling another person a “removed” shouldn’t really be a big deal.”

    "I said:

    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

    Which I definitely stand by."

      means that it is not the sole motivating factor.

      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

      Literally means that if they go around spewing crap, they get dealt with. This is not condoning hateful trolling at all. He is on the free speech side of things, but that doesn’t mean he condones it at all. If you start posting bad crap, you get dealt with. Minor slights, are as the name implies, minor. Those are allowed but within strict limitations, if you start going full blown idiot, you get dealt with.

      He’s completely right about everything there.

      Unless he is selectively banning trans people, not making a tech discord server about those discussions is perfectly fine.
