I would just do a search in google :) It was also mentioned by L. Poettering on his twitter account a few years ago. I would like to see this thread stay true to Suckless itself (for a change).

This all looks bad enough that I'm not sure it's reasonable to separate their "politics" from the people.

Probably shouldn't have brought it up unprompted in the first comment on the thread then.

I think if a project has Nazis involved in it, that should probably be front and center in any discussion about it.

  The evidence seems to be: - One dude once blamed post-WWI treatment of Germany for the rise in nationalism that led to Hitler - They once hiked using torches instead of flashlights. Only they're German so this was near Nuremberg. - They named a mail server "Wolf's Lair." Only they're German so this was in German. Is there a public record anywhere of any of them defending the Holocaust or making anti-Semitic statements?

    > They named a mail server "Wolf's Lair." Only they're German so this was in German. A single developer associated with suckles has a private machine with the "wolfsschanze" hostname. This is a big difference with "suckless has a mail server named wolfsschanze".

    Wolfsschanze is a word that never occurs accidentally in German language today. If you use it, it's always in a historic or Nazi context.

    Even the appearance of association with Nazis should set off giant warning flags. "Haha I used a German word that's generally associated with Nazis but isn't technically that, this is a joke I promise" almost always means that the person is a Nazi.
