- Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html
2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
- Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
5. π¬π§ Language/ΡΠ·ΡΠΊ/Sprache
- This is primarily an English-speaking community. π¬π§π¦πΊπΊπΈ
- Comments written in other languages are allowed.
- The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
- Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. Β
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

I stopped following it all a few years back, but basically, hyprland community was one of the most toxic places on the internet for a while. And the official response was that they didn't want to do anything about it. There was later a bit of attempt to clean things up, but by that point I had already lost interest.
A quote from Vaxry on his own blog about his stance of the community being ruined by "inclusive activists"
And then further goes on to compare LGBT issues with geopolitics:
"I'd be ok with having Hitler around (because separate the art and the artist), but also, LGBT issues are divisive, so we don't want things like pronouns showing up around here."
Vaxry strikes me as the type of person who would start off actually neutral, and when asked to not make offensive comments, would double down on his right to make offensive comments even if he doesn't believe in them, until the only people in the community are people who make those offensive comments earnestly.
So overall, not a community/project I would personally want to be involved in. Too much drama, and even if it's not a "nazi" project, it markets itself as being welcoming of hitler.
edit: https://blog.vaxry.net/articles/2023-inclusiveActivists the blog post for reference
so maybe im getting this wrong, but both qoutes you gave seem to me to take on a "just shut up about any politics whatsoever, i dont care." stance
