Decided to make a dedicated page for this.

@cwilcox808 @db @brennan A distinction without a difference. Heh heh.

[ghostsheetz@alaskan.social]

@brennan the distro of fascists.

[simonzerafa@infosec.exchange]

@brennan

That's food to hear! I'll read up on those links shortly.

It's not directly related but Mullvad VPN are basically bankrolling an extremest party in Sweden 🫤

[sigmundur@radikal.social]

@alamarw @brennan So good to also have hopeful proactive things one can do!

Small nitpick, why Gitea over Forgejo?

[stevel@hachyderm.io]

@brennan ooh, there's another brutal tactic OSS developers can apply: just don't accept bug reports that arise on Omarchy.

"If you can replicate this on another platform then we will care"

"I won't run Omarchy, wouldn't be able to test it. Can you run a linux distribution that's not backed by DHH?

FOSS licenses don't stop DHH distributing your stuff, but they don't require you to care at all if your code doesn't work on Omarchy

[brennan@social.lol]

@stevel great idea! added it to the site

[brennan@social.lol]

@sigmundur added!

[alamarw@mastodon.social]

@sigmundur @brennan Great call out. I use Forgejo for as my local forge

[sigmundur@radikal.social]

@alamarw @brennan Yeah Forgejo is great!
Am using Codeberg to host the code for a website I am working on for our local anarchist group ️

[alamarw@mastodon.social]

@sigmundur @brennan Nice! I'm about to be moving all of the projects that I care about to codeburg, as well as my neocities website that I've been plodding along on

[davidcelis@xoxo.zone]

@brennan just in case you’d like ANOTHER reference piece… i dove into why DHH fits the actual definition of fascist about a year ago too https://davidcel.is/articles/the-dhh-problem

[archagon@mastodon.social]

@brennan Cloudflare, too? Missed that. Gross.

On the upside, Googling around led me to this article (by @alatiera I think?) which is straight spitting fire: https://blogs.gnome.org/alatiera/2025/11/06/dhh-and-omarchy-midlife-crisis/

[brennan@social.lol]

@archagon CF is one of the worst. They provided support for the Daily Stormer, 8chan, and KiwiFarms and only dropped support after people died.

[be@floss.social]

@brennan Thanks, it's helpful to have a resource that summarizes what is going on for those who haven't been following it play out step by step.

[odin@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@brennan @neatnik What good alternatives are out there for Square and Stripe?

(Also you may want to note that Block = Square, I didn’t remember this rebrand)

[sealnose@mastodon.social]

@sigmundur @alamarw @brennan may i ask what a "local anarchist group" is?

[neatnik@social.lol]

@odin @brennan I'm actively researching different payment processing options, but nothing comes close to Stripe. I might have to start accepting payment in Pokémon cards.

[alatiera@mastodon.social]

@brennan @simonzerafa Framework did not change their minds at any point.

They "heard" the complains and disengaged from public activities for a while, but they are still in touch and send him devices so they position themselves as the "uber developer laptop" and farm the free promo.

It would be so easy to say "okay our bad, we denounce fascists", but they explicitly are not going to do that.

Also they closed down the forum thread while doing nothing about it.

[simonzerafa@infosec.exchange]

@alatiera @brennan

Oh well. That had the opportunity to fix their errors but failed to do so.

They can go fuck themselves as far as I'm concerned ‍️

[sigmundur@radikal.social]

@sealnose @alamarw @brennan Of course!
I'm referring to @Fraelsisfylking .
We currently have a website on NoBlogs (https://fraelsisfylking.noblogs.org/) but that is due to being shut down due to U.S. sanctions.
