During the AI policy discussion on https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/work_items/187 someone called a KDE contributor out for their bigotry. KDE banned the person calling them out and removed all the comments.

I guess it’s official. Fascism is allowed. Calling it out is not.

    I see.

    Well, I suppose this is all moot anyway. With KDE now planning to start spying on users to train AI models https://windowsforum.com/news/kde-plasma-kadai-is-a-proposal-not-an-ai-desktop.444963/ it seems we all need to abandon ship regardless.

    What will we use next?
