Ok, I might be naive and misinformed on this, and I'll take a step back here to lay out some other opinions of mine that tie into this so this will be long, but, in my personal opinion:
I think hate against groups of people (racism, transphobia, etc.) tends to come from a lack of knowledge and understanding, a feeling of other-ness that leads to an us-vs-them mentality, and an environment that tolerates or encourages expression of that hate.

@shlee I don't know for anyone in particular, but my guesses would be:
1. Hypocricy + it being bad optics
2. Disagreements over who does and doesn't qualify as a Nazi
3. Not actively taking issue with and working against something does not mean someone loves that thingIf you're trying to make a point about me with that, no one's called me a Nazi lover yet and I very much dislike Nazis.
So if that's the case, please be more direct in what you mean, otherwise I can't give you a proper response. -

@dalias And I would like it if you told me what I need to know about huge fucking problems because I prefer not supporting racists, nazis and transphobes myself.

@dalias I disagree on both accords.
If Nazis have to leave their Nazi stuff at the door and be respectful and accepting, I do not see what good ostracizing them for unrelated-to-the-project views does.
It will not change their views, it will not limit how they can spread their views and, at worst, push them into echo chambers and further worsen their opinions on people.

@dalias Hello, just wanting to chime in as "the friend who is involved".
From personal experience in the ladybird project, everyone there seems very accepting of anyone else there.
Most discussion in the Discord stays focused on Building a Browser.
Sensitive topics like politics, ideology and gender are against the rules.
From what I can tell this does a good job at focusing the discussion on building the browser and I like having a space where
