Context: X11Libre is a fork of X11 aiming at preserving the X Server (fair enough, right?). One of the creators got permanently banned from freedesktop.org for apparently violating the Code of Conduct (no info on that, they just blame Red Hat), see themselves as hunted by both Big Tech and “toxic elements” who “took over the X11 project” They want to “make X great again”.

The issue about their highly political README (which they wrote due to the original project “becoming too political”, lol) also contains the usual red flags like transphobia. https://github.com/X11Libre/xserver/issues/40

    I do think that even with the “this is woke I’m not listening” crowd it’s possible. You need to practice active listening to get in the door though. Tell them what you hear and explain it in your words. Sometimes you hear wrong and sometimes they realize how dumb it sounds when you repeat it again.

    Idk it seems totally possible… A lot of work… But possible. Aside from raising my kids to think correctly and be good people that’s the only other way I can benefit society / the people around me. I just listen and challenge, and try to keep my personal feelings out of it initially.

    It just really feels like people want everything distilled into a 30s tiktok video and its really hard to see everything go that direction…
