I have a hard imagining a far right software project, can you explain this to me?

  You should look into the political views of Omarchy's creator and sole developer, DHH

    I tried, and all I found was some hearsay. Ethical concerns were raised by many publications without any specifics. Some mention the issue is building on top of hyprland, which (oh god, no) has some ethical issues. I couldn't find anything specific. Would appreciate a link to any based explanation

      DHH made a blog post in which he implied (but did not state) that the UK isnt white enough anymore. Its gross and racist, but as far as I know this is all there is to the current controversy around him. If you want to read the post, its here: https://web.archive.org/web/20250925050154/https://world.hey.com/dhh/as-i-remember-london-e7d38e64 https://web.archive.org/web/20250925050154/https://world.hey...

        Thanks for sharing. IMO, the implication is quite weak. The only place I found where the author mentions ethnicity, is when he refers to Pakistani rape gangs, and I assume, the choice if words is influenced by the article he links (can't verify, as the link to the article is broken). Otherwise, this seems to me like an antiimmigration position, but I couldn't spot any racial or ethnical prejudice.

    That's the dev not the project. Quickly looking over Omarchy I see nothing aligned with the political right. Could you link it to me?

      The developer is the project.
      • rowanG077 1y ago
        Of course not, a project is removed from the person. Especially in open source.

          I respect your opinion, but I disagree. It's not like DHH is just some contributor, he's the public face of the project and the person who stands to benefit from its success.
