KDE bans user calling out racism, antisemitism and misogyny but not the perpetrator.

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’m not seeing where svin is linked to bee_fumo. Can someone point out where they admited those are their tweets?

      Apart from the proof @ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net posted, bee_fumo was also live-posting the whole thread on twitter https://x.com/bee_fumo/status/2102032995695645121

      bee_fumo and Svin share the same avatar, and Svin’s response saying they know who in that thread like their X posts, and they later edited that post to this (which is still viewable/hasn’t been removed):

      “You must be a fan of mine trolling from X” is admission that they are the same account.

      And further down responded with this:

        Okay that makes sense. Did the kde forum mods give a reason for the ban?
