Something weird is going on with the code of conduct page. When I view it through my web reading app, it appears normal, but when I view it directly, I get this

Is this one of those anti Ai things? I’m not a bot, I promise
Thank you for posting release release posts
Hey, this isn’t the Funhole!
I recommend reading their “Frequently Questioned Answers” document, aka Dash1.
https://fqa.9front.org/dash1.release.pdfI’ve read a lot of tech docs through the years. Hands down, this is my favorite.
I do not recommend installing their OS, unless you have time to kill and curiosity.
9front is completely useless. It’s a programmer’s toy; a sandbox to develop some OS build ideas.I can’t wait to figure out what to do on this release!
I install 9front releases, screw with a couple windows, and give up again. It’s a cycle.
LOL - my opinion exactly
That name puts me in mind of things like “Stormfront” and “National Front”, if not also things like 4chan / 8kun.
…but that might be the point?? If so, I can’t tell if it’s a joke or serious. Disturbing.
The devs are some really strange folks. They would enjoy your discomfiture.
But as OP said, they are really, emphatically, antifa-level before antifa was cool, no-nazi.
They are emphatically anti-nazi/anti-fash. If you check out their homepage, the footer has links to “Nazi Punks: Fuck Off” and Black Lives Matter. The favicon for the site is a LGBTQ+ pride flag.
Well that’s good to know at least. Still not sure I would have opted for that name, but then, these are clearly the games of sharper minds than mine.
