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:

: “I’M NOT MAD I’M NOT MAD”
Critical support to Red Hat Enterprise Linux and their never-ending crusade to destroy white people

If you read Drew Devault’s blog post as well as the email sent to vaxry it has the proof there. A community takes after its leaders and Vaxry has shown to be manipulative and attention seeking.
It’s the same picture.
Here’s a post linking a video on all about the topic
