Longer blog post coming but of course PewDiePie would love #Linux and otherwise. It isn't a secret that fascists, and their enablers, love the open web, open source, and even open technology, and places like the people focused web and the indieweb, as an example. this isn't new. Open source and open technology and the IndieWeb etc. Will always attract fascists. Why do they love these things? Simple, they believe they have a space free from community consequences to spew their hatred. You can combat this in a number of small and big ways. Some small ways are making them obviously uncomfortable, and or outright unwelcome, remember the guy that kicks out Nazis even though they say please and thank you?

First, some petty ways.

Make all of your Linux distro wallpaper LGBT+ inclusive.

But on a more serious note,

You can't outright stop them from using open source software. You can, though, make it very clear their bullshit won’t be tolerated here.

This means prioritizing your marginalized contributors over them. Implement their ideas over obvious Nazi ideas. Do things that tell them, hey, your bullshit isn't welcome. Force them to look for non woke software.

You won’t chase them from the internet. That's not possible, but you can force them to be around other Nazis exclusively and that's important because they need numbers. You don't need them. They need you as a recruiting ground. It really is that simple.

As for all who don't believe PewDiePie is a fascist or at least a fascist sympothiser, https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/PewDiePie
