🧵 1/4
There are values. And there are priorities.
One may value free software and human rights. But those are completely different values. We already know that some prominent folks in floss are closer to libertarians, than to leftists (and that's understatement, ok?). So what is going to happen when given project puts your values in conflict?
Then your priorities show. So far every public communication by KDE folks - both, official, as well as unofficial - was at best vague, at worst strictly declaring their priorities: no debating about ethics.
My personal impression from following this crisis is, that KDE is sorry. But not about having a racist person amongst them. Rather about being caught red-handed.
There were allegations from sweeluna about more nazi-adjacent folks in the community. No proofs has been given, but considering the outcome, those allegations seems plausible to me.
Of course, you can convince me I'm wrong. Honestly, I wish to be convinced I'm wrong. But I want to see transparency, and deeds.
And if you came in my vicinity, defending the behavior of project caretakers, you're showing your values: the software is more important than human rights, the code more important than people. That's the choice you have made.
At least have some dignity, and don't bring debate without having valid arguments, then calling people "debate perverts".
Is KDE nazi bar already? Or it is just in the phase where the bartender doesn't care after one nazi patron has came? Or somewhere in between? Honestly, I don't care. If they won't do radical actions, they will become such sooner or later.
Don't be part of the problem by defending their current behaviour. If you show yourself as such, you are not one to be trusted.
Until further notice, I consider KDE as a nazi bar.
