All of you people keep trying to impress each other with these funny green text comments, but from someone who doesn't spend all their life online, it looks ridiculous.

FOSS Harassment Monitoring – Archiving public attacks on open‑source contributors

LOUNGE · Back to threads · Report thread

freezaburn · original post · 2026-04-14 03:13:37

This thread is for documenting instances of targeted harassment, public shaming, coordinated pile-ons, and other forms of abuse directed at contributors to free and open source software projects.

The goal is purely archival: to preserve a record of what is publicly visible across GitHub, mailing lists, Mastodon, forums, and other platforms.

If you have a link to a public post or thread where a FOSS contributor is being harassed (e.g., personal attacks, death threats, sustained bad-faith criticism, coordinated brigading), please share it here along with a brief description and a screenshot or archive link.

Guidelines:
- Only public content. No private messages or non-public logs.
- Do not encourage further harassment or retaliation.
- Keep commentary to a minimum. Let the evidence speak.

Example entries to start the archive:

1. Libreboot / Leah Rowe
- Context: Libreboot maintainer Leah Rowe has been the target of repeated harassment on GitHub and Mastodon, including being called "Francis" (deadnaming), mocked for her gender identity, and accused of being a "troon" or "schizo" by users on KiwiFarms and other platforms.
- Sample posts:
- https://kiwifarms.st/threads/open-source-software-community.38130/post-24219626 (mockery, deadnaming)
- https://web.archive.org/web/20260410131141/https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/pull/4230 (accusations of "sperging out")
- Related: Leah's Mastodon thread where she responds to harassment (https://mas.to/@libreleah/116380603410653309 )

2. Hyprland / Vaxry
- Context: Vaxry, creator of Hyprland, has faced repeated calls for his removal from open source spaces due to his political views.
- Sample: GitHub issue threads, Reddit posts calling for forks, etc. (find links)

3. Omarchy Linux / DHH
- Context: Pull request adding Omarchy support for Libreboot led to Leah Rowe's involvement and subsequent harassment. (https://web.archive.org/web/20260410131141/https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/pull/4230 )

If you have a submission, reply with:
- Project / person affected
- Link to public post or thread
- Brief description of the harassing behavior
- (Optional) screenshot or archive link

>accused of being a "troon" or "schizo"
Leah is literally a schizo troon, this isn't even an insult it's just an easily observable fact that they are a tranny and routinely have paranoid meltdowns about how nazis are crawling in his walls waiting to get him.


>>12470
It certainly does appear to have been made with ulterior motives in mind, if they were really seeking to compile harassment they would have done a better job
Let's just be completely fucking honest here, who doesn't know Leah is a troon? And yet the OP makes deliberate attempts to muddy the waters and act like it's slander and only rumors from the kiwifarms. HE took a photograph of HIS penisless hole and posted it to HIS website
