btw it’s not just the lead hyprland dev who’s toxic, it’s the whole community. Go check out the official project discord and you’ll see it’s full of pepe frogs and the vibe of 4chan boys posting the most repugnant shit you’d expect them to, all the way back to the very beginning. That discord is functionally a radicalisation funnel. If you’ve been around the internet long enough you know exactly the vibe as soon as you see it.

+ btw this is how they’re talking in DHH’s official Omarchy discord.

They fully know what it’s all about. There’s no ambiguity here.

@hailey i despise many things about this saga but near the top of the list are the brain dead dudes who read his London post and don’t understand the dog whistles

@hailey y’know i can believe some of them are earnest.

i actually worked with a guy like this recently, in that he was very good at Computer but had never read a book in his life, had all sorts of weird gaps in his general knowledge. Every day you’d be like “you’re almost thirty how do you not know —-?” and he’d act shy and be like uh i dunno

@hailey my mental model of this is more like,

complete idiot reads the post, is too vacant to understand the subtext (which the posts are intentionally very carefully written to do)

and so they’re left to choose between giving the benefit of the doubt to the powerful man or believing the scores of marginalized weirdoes

so they choose to not believe the freaks.

@phillmv they choose to stay vacant so they can keep earning a fuck tonne of money without worrying about what they’re doing or where it comes from
