During the AI policy discussion on https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/work_items/187 someone called a KDE contributor out for their bigotry. KDE banned the person calling them out and removed all the comments.

I guess it’s official. Fascism is allowed. Calling it out is not.
I noticed those comments were removed today. Cheers for finding the archive of them.
The turn KDE has taken is absolutely astonishing. I regret the donations I’ve made to them :(
Edit: they did ultimately ban the racist, though it’s not a great look that the person exposing the racist was also banned.
Welp, that is another nail in the coffin for KDE. I don’t want to use a DE that protects fascist creeps; even more motivation to change to a WM and continue my learning journey so I can build my own WM that I can guarantee will be free from LLM assisted code.

damn kde is really attempting a lose-all-respect% speedrun WR huh
David sure called this one. O_o
It’s surreal seeing the internet pivot 180-degrees to full blown harboring bigotry.
I’m not seeing where svin is linked to bee_fumo. Can someone point out where they admited those are their tweets?
Apart from the proof @ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net posted, bee_fumo was also live-posting the whole thread on twitter https://x.com/bee_fumo/status/2102032995695645121
bee_fumo and Svin share the same avatar, and Svin’s response saying they know who in that thread like their X posts, and they later edited that post to this (which is still viewable/hasn’t been removed):
“You must be a fan of mine trolling from X” is admission that they are the same account.
And further down responded with this:
Who exactly is this “svin” person? And how do we know that the X account in question belongs to svin?
He was live-posting the whole thread https://x.com/bee_fumo/status/2102032995695645121
also, how do we know that they meant to be bigoted when they typed those words in that order? Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like? That’s what you sound like
I don’t think there’s any question that the words are bigoted.
But I see very little evidence that they belong to svin, nor that svin has any significant influence in the KDE project.
Clarification would be appreciated.
The guy admits that those tweets are his in the thread. The influence is not substantial to the problem here
Glad to see the losers in this thread getting upset they can’t control others.
