Microsoft Lunduke Belongs in 4Chan

Putin Facepalm: His trolling isn't even subtle; What a Loon-dick

Microsoft Lunduke (yes, he had worked for Microsoft before he became a supposed "expert" in "Linux") is becoming a major liability or somewhat of a "facepalm moment" lately; we're all for free speech [1, 2], but calling my wife and many others n***** is hardly a matter of freedom of expression per se. The UK has laws about this type of stuff and the EU (or Germany), where Codeberg is based, also has relevant laws. Some hours ago Microsoft Lunduke published PostmarketOS Joins Codeberg's Fight Against "Right Wing Forces" and days ago he published Codeberg Announces "Fight Against Far-Right" (without specifying the causes).

"Lunduke is barking," one person told us. "I sure hope his position on the incident is not based on having read anything about it. Such a position is not excusable, especially if he knows the background of it."

We already known from direct experience that people spewing out words like n***** in our communication channels are vandals and extremists. Provocation and destruction are the sole goal/intention. Letting them 'off the hook' is suicide. Hiding behind the 'veil' of free speech might be OK as long as one is frank rather than deliberately provocative (building an online identity around being an oppressed "target" of those who are deliberately hurt).

Assuming Microsoft Lunduke is aware of the full context, he is now trolling not one but two decent organisations merely because they oppose racism; this is worse than trolling. Microsoft Lunduke sometimes makes a good point about something, then he associates that point with all that other "baggage" of his, in turn associating that point with bigotry or worse*; it's good to never associate or give a dime to him; he's a prick, not contrarian. He actively tries to annoy people. He's seeking a new kind of audience that he would be luckier to find in 4Chan (or similar).

* 4 years ago he associated criticism of the Linux Foundation with rejection of vaccines [1, 2, 3].

Amplifying bigots is 'free speech'?
