Hyprland is an open source Wayland compositor based on wlroots, a project I started back in 2017 to make it easier to build good Wayland compositors. It’s a project which is loved by its users for its emphasis on customization and “eye candy” – beautiful graphics and animations, each configuration tailored to the unique look and feel imagined by the user who creates it. It’s a very exciting project!
Unfortunately, the effect is spoilt by an incredibly toxic and hateful community. I cannot recommend Hyprland to anyone who is not prepared to steer well clear of its community spaces. Imagine a high school boys’ locker room come to life on Discord and GitHub and you’ll get an idea of what it’s like.
I empathise with Vaxry. I remember being young, smart, productive… and mean. I did some cool stuff, but I deeply regret the way I treated people. It wasn’t really my fault – I was a product of my environment – but it was my responsibility. Today, I’m proud to have built many welcoming communities, where people are rewarded for their involvement, rather than coming away from their experience hurt. What motivates us to build and give away free software if not bringing joy to ourselves and others? Can we be proud of a community which brings more suffering into the world?
His response is perfectly rational. You need to stop getting offended over every small thing on the internet.
treating people respectfully is not getting offended. please touch some grass and open your eyes.
The internet is not your daycare you retarded faggot
Maybe you’re right. Being “daycared” shouldn’t happen on the internet, it should be a prerequisite.
People who default to stringing multiple slurs together for a response just to prove a point should just be banned on sight and sent back to daycare. Maybe they could learn something.
Did you read his response? These were a few small incidents blown out of proportion. Maybe grow a thicker skin?
that’s not really the point considering this didn’t occur in a vacuum. this one event can come to just be a grift and what I said will still be true.
I only have two things to say:

Your pronouns drama is political
pronouns are a part of the English, and many other, languages.
I didn’t say pronouns are political. The drama you and your people make around pronouns is political.
Interacting with people without harassment is hardly “politics”.
