Hyprland is a toxic community

Drew DeVault, founder of the wlroots project that Hyprland is built on, publicly criticizes Hyprland's community for tolerating harassment, hate speech, and bullying. He details specific incidents including moderators harassing a transgender user by editing their pronouns, the project leadership's dismissive attitude toward a proposed code of conduct, and quotes from the lead developer downplaying these behaviors. DeVault reached out privately in February before publishing this post, noting that despite some moderation policy changes following a community poll (where 40% reported harassment), the toxic culture persists. He calls on Hyprland's leadership to adopt a code of conduct and change their attitude, urges community members to speak up against hate, and advises marginalized users to avoid the community until it improves.
