That would be a problem if trans people would be forced to be in the Hyprland community. Are they?
Does he actually call for deportation of anyone who works? That seems to be the constant confusion about what the anti-immigration people are talking about.
Then, by extending the same treatment, the civilized world retains full right and reason to exclude and mock those who have no respect for the people they work with.
In any case, what is being done here is divisive and harmful for the FLOSS community. It creates a new separation of people based on ideological grounds, so instead of working together, they’ll be forced to fork the projects or work on something else not out of technical limitations, but out of, simply, worldview. This means less contributors, more drama, endless infighting and all the other things FLOSS traditionally stood above. This is bad for all of us.
You may think all you want, but without proper boundaries set to protect all of the contributors, we won’t go anywhere.
He complained on several occasions about the inflow of foreigners in Denmark and made false claims about migrant criminality while calling for the restoration of Danish national identity by maintaining foreign population controls. This is where it started and it kept developing from there. As per work, instead of suggesting better avenues for work offerings, he suggested going hardline, banning homelessness (as if people do it by choice) and suggesting mass deportations, comparing “gypsies” to “wolves to be shot before they eat the sheep”. Doesn’t look good at all.
This same argument could be made against any other minority (or majority) group: Jews, Muslims, women, disabled people, and so on. None of them are forced into the community either. Surely it wouldn’t be a problem if they could be openly mocked for those qualities, right?
An exclusive community is about as far from “open” as it gets.
I personally don’t think it’s a good idea to alienate any of those groups, including trans people. Banning assholes is a great idea though, regardless of what their identity group is.
But I don’t think I have any right to tell a project what they find acceptable or not. Like I said, it’s not like everybody has to participate, and there are plenty of projects with different rules and vibes.
This is true. If they want to be assholes on their own, then whatever.
It should come as no surprise then, and to no controversy, that we should be allowed to advocate against them in our spaces.
