@Toes I'm sorry.... WOT? Why is a tech reporter and Linux advocate now persona non grata in some Linux-oriented communities?

Clearly I've been out of touch.

Yeah, that is exactly what I'm confused about.

I watch the occasional video from them and nothing ever seemed funky, he just seems very passionate about tech.

Niccolo Ve did a pretty comprehensive summary of all his problems recently: https://inv.tux.pizza/watch?v=mhqeuO9RKKk

He's been on a right-wing, transphobic, anti-woke downward spiral for years now.

Oh, I had no idea thats a real shame.

Yup, Lunduke is a menace to FOSS. While I do think banning a dev just cuz he said Lunduke was too much

But then I remember he & his community are a net-negative to FOSS & attack & call for bankrupting projects just because it was "Woke" (In other words not Right-Wing approved)

He is an alarmist & a sensationalist, He wants others to think he's a journalist, when he's merely a Vlogger with an opinion (& bad ones mind you)

If anyone is familiar with this, why are they so salty?

We don't know what is said behind closed doors but publicly (until around 1/6/2020) Lunduke's twitter was relatively unhinged (pretty much what you would expect from a far right winger)

Sucks because I don't read the shit he writes or mess with the projects he puts out these days.
