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. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

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?

Obligatory fuck varxy. It's easier to switch to Sway than to get help on the Hypeland discord.

How can someone be a big contributor to a FOSS project and use discord at the same time?

By the way I'm infinitely grateful for hexbear being such a great site to be trans in. Every single other thread about this topic has some chud whining about muh free speech and making up conspiracies.

As a cis man, I've found hexbear to be an incredible resource on how to be a better ally to a close relative who is trans.

As someone who's been exclusively Linux-at-home for about a quarter-century, I am constantly disappointed in the chuds who infest the various subcultures in the broader Linux community. Trying to explain basic fucking empathy to these people is an uphill battle. Honestly it's made me leery of contributing code to established projects. Instead I just do small from-scratch projects for myself. At least then I know the project founder isn't a bigot.
