This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

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.

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.
