FOSS is full of troons.
Vaxry who maintains hyprland(and drew has has issues with) has now had to deal with a powertripper on the CoC board of the FreeDesktop project.

No doubt Drew's attacks on Vaxry have contributed to this gross faggotry.

its a a god damned autistic socialist transgender furry.
Always was like that.

What kind of idiot, puts an autist in the position of CoC board?
Yeah let's put the autist in charge of what is basically community management.
Because as we know autists are great at that.

You knew this blogpost was coming. (A) The run-down is that Lyude dindu nuffin, and if anything it is Vaxry who is posting "unhinged rants". Some choice quotes (dear fuck, why does he always shit out so much text):
Drew DeVault said:
Regardless of how you feel about the conduct team issuing a private warning to Vaxry on the basis of activities outside of FDO community spaces, the email thread that ensues most certainly is within the scope of the FDO code of conduct, and Vaxry’s behavior therein is sufficient justification for a ban from the FDO community as far as I’m concerned. The conduct team cites Vaxry’s stated intention to ignore any future conduct interventions as the ultimate reason for the ban, which I find entirely reasonable on FDO’s part. I have banned people for far less than this, and I stand by it.
Click to expand...
The classic. Start shit on flimsy pretenses, wait for a reaction, then go "anyway, who cares about the original pretense," and ban for the reaction instead.
Drew DeVault said:
Vaxry’s follow-up blog posts only serve to underscore this point. First of all, he immediately opens with a dog-whistle calling for the reader to harass the FDO officer in question: “I don’t condone harassing this person, but here is their full name, employer and contact details”:
Click to expand...
The full name, employer, and contact details were in the original email, Drew. You're not going to be able to turn this into a doxing story.
Drew DeVault said:
The FDO team is right that Hyprland’s community reflects poorly on the Linux desktop community as a whole. Vaxry has created a foothold for hate, transphobia, homophobia, bullying, and harassment in the Linux desktop community. We are right to take action to correct this problem.
Click to expand...
I thought the ban was about how Vaxry intends to ignore the CoC? Drew's inability to keep his story straight within a single blogpost amazes every time.
Drew DeVault said:
Every option other than banning Vaxry has been exhausted over the past year and a half. I personally spent several weeks following my last blog post on the matter discussing Vaxry’s behavior in confidence and helping him understand how to improve, and at my suggestion he joined a private community of positive male role models to discuss these issues in a private and empathetic space. After a few weeks of these private discussions, the last thing he said to me was “I do believe there could be arguments to sway my opinion towards genocide”
Click to expand...
This encapsulates perfectly what a piece of shit Drew is. It was Drew who broke off contact after this completely out of context quote, and this entire drama started because of incidents from 1.5+ years ago, so what options were being exhausted in the intervening time? The part about how poor righteous Drew tried to resolve this in private is of course a load of horseshit, as the OP amply documents - he wrote a big fat seethepost about it immediately.
Drew DeVault said:
And, to Vaxry – I know you’re reading this – there are going to continue to be consequences for your actions, but it’s still not too late to change. I know it’s humiliating to be called out like this, and I really would rather not have had to do so. FDO is probably not the last time you’re going to be banned if you don’t change course, and it would reflect better on you if you took it on the chin and didn’t post inflammatory rants on your blog – trust me, you don’t look like the good guy here.

Gee, why would anybody read this and think he's being threatened?

You are trapped in an echo chamber of hate, anger, and bigotry. I hope that you find a way out, and that someday you can build a community which is as great as your software is.

Has anyone confirmed the sex of his fiancé? I suspect the end of this mystery lies there. Based on what @Rusty Metal Skull Gun noted earlier in the thread I'm leaning towards FtM pooner, but MtFs are much more common in FOSS so who knows

Nope, he's been very cagey about this, it's always they/them. I think it's going to be a non-binary TIM, because it's someone with a tech job (something to do with BGP, I think).

Not necessarily a "doxing story" but a literally "war is peace"-esque inversion of what Vaxry actually said. He literally calls Vaxry explicitly telling his readers to not harass the tranny, a dog-whistle and implies that Vaxry secretly wants his readers to harass him...

Heads you lose, tails the house wins. If he hadn't said it, that very lack would have been called out as encouraging harassment by putting the person on blast.

He is insulted on my behalf that my name was cited in the FDO officer’s email in lowercase, “drew”, and feels the need to address this.

Drew DeVault said:
Meanwhile the Hyprland community remains a toxic place, welcoming hate, bullying, and harassment, but now prohibiting all “political” speech, which in practice means any discussion of LGBTQ topics, though this is largely unenforced.

Everything is political!
No, my sexuality isn't political!

Well, having fun at the expense of faggots is fairly fun.

There’s nothing left to do but to build a fence around Hyprland and protect the rest of the community from them.

If I'm thinking of the right person, it's the opposite of BGP. I think Drew was the one who said his [gay lover/mail-order bride/whatever] was qualified to teach BGP because xhe had read the technical spec.

Which is not a qualification for one of the most arcane, convoluted, high stakes protocols in all of networking.

The entire reason this is such a big deal is because, contrary to all the troons posting about how CoC's equal quality software, vaxry made a very good piece of software and it is popular.

If hyprland was a shit WM and nobody used it, we wouldn't be having this convo. But because its good, the troons are forced to fight it.
