MODERATORS
Hyprland is still on the list
What is wrong with Hyprland?
A former moderator on their official Discord forum made some offensive remarks or something. That soured the entire project for some people for good, I guess.
Yeah, I've seen screenshots and their comments were pretty disgusting
And those comments don't reflect the views of the devs. The mod was the issue
No, plenty came right out of Vaxry.
Last I looked they seemed to be trying to do better though. Way lower on the problematic list than anything DHH touches imo.
Wait, really? The devs don't share those views?
It really takes nothing for people to become eternal haters.
The creator, Vaxry, made many hateful comments. Mostly on Discord. I'm in the Arch Linux Community discord, which he got banned from a few years ago (I was not there at the time), and his message history there has tons of bad takes.
What is the ethical fork of hyprland?
Is it ethical to fork it?
Yes it is. That is what forking is for
So if you think a code base or project is unethical, forking it fixes the problem?
XLibre comes to mind.
It's either fork and continue the work or start from scratch and hope the pattern doesn't repeat somehow 🤷
