Hyprland is an open source Wayland compositor based on wlroots, a project I started back in 2017 to make it easier to build good Wayland compositors. It’s a project which is loved by its users for its emphasis on customization and “eye candy” – beautiful graphics and animations, each configuration tailored to the unique look and feel imagined by the user who creates it. It’s a very exciting project!
Unfortunately, the effect is spoilt by an incredibly toxic and hateful community. I cannot recommend Hyprland to anyone who is not prepared to steer well clear of its community spaces. Imagine a high school boys’ locker room come to life on Discord and GitHub and you’ll get an idea of what it’s like.
I empathise with Vaxry. I remember being young, smart, productive… and mean. I did some cool stuff, but I deeply regret the way I treated people. It wasn’t really my fault – I was a product of my environment – but it was my responsibility. Today, I’m proud to have built many welcoming communities, where people are rewarded for their involvement, rather than coming away from their experience hurt. What motivates us to build and give away free software if not bringing joy to ourselves and others? Can we be proud of a community which brings more suffering into the world?
treating people respectfully is not getting offended. please touch some grass and open your eyes.
The internet is not your daycare you retarded faggot
Maybe you’re right. Being “daycared” shouldn’t happen on the internet, it should be a prerequisite.
People who default to stringing multiple slurs together for a response just to prove a point should just be banned on sight and sent back to daycare. Maybe they could learn something.
Did you read his response? These were a few small incidents blown out of proportion. Maybe grow a thicker skin?
that’s not really the point considering this didn’t occur in a vacuum. this one event can come to just be a grift and what I said will still be true.
I only have two things to say:
there is nothing political here you dunce holy shit
Your pronouns drama is political
pronouns are a part of the English, and many other, languages.
I didn’t say pronouns are political. The drama you and your people make around pronouns is political.
Touch grass, honestly. I have been a part of the space you folks are in for years. You people are very similar to the ones you hate - selectively empathic and selectively sociopathic.
Edit: looks like some chud was so salty, their feefees got hurt and they downvoted every single comment of mine in the past few months.
my existence is not, nor should be, a political issue. besides, technology doesn’t exist in a vacuum. why do you think I’m on Lemmy instead of Reddit? politics. same with masto and Twitter.
and asking to be treated with respect in order to avoid mental issues is not selfish, you can think about more than yourself for once.
Interacting with people without harassment is hardly “politics”.
