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:

Recently had the opportunity to set up a new system from basically scratch and tried a few different wayland options, assuming I'd land on hyprland since it seemed to be the most beloved, but then I finished configuring sway and realized it was basically perfect. Might try swayfx at some point but I really don't understand how hyprland got so much of a following
Hyprland has this annoying thing where they track the latest git commit of wlroots so orgs like debian and fedora can't package it.
Sticking to things like Sway and River is better in the long run since they update alongside wlroots.
I don't understand. Why is it wrong to use hyprland? The dev doesn't get any money or anything like that right.
Vaxry is synonymous with Hyprland for the most part. He has a large community who looks up to him as well as he has a very high opinion of himself (contrary to what he says). His GitHub states he is the leader.
People refusing to work with him/use his passion project might get the message of "dont be a loser bigot" through.
Or it isolates his community and quarantines it away from the non bigot infested FOSS world.
Nobody cares if you use hyprland (people will package it anyways, it's technically impressive), but in the FOSS space we can curate what software we use (down to the very kernel). Bad actors who don't respond to criticism have to face consequences somehow and refusing to use hyprland is an example of that.
I mean being banned from freedesktop has ruined a big part of his career. He will always be known as the chud debate bro who tried to bargin with social norms. Who wants to work with someone whose judgement they can't trust?
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.
Here's a post linking a video on all about the topic
The currency of the FOSS world is prestige and the respect of your peers
