New Update
The more I read and research into this project with help from others the more it is making me feel uncomfortable about the language it uses and how things have developed over time. I am a happy Wayland user but totally agree that Xorg should be kept alive for those that wish to use it if possible. I originally thought about just deleting my toot but that's just hiding what happened. I jumped the gun and whole heartedly hold my hands up and unless things change I don't endorse what I originally posted below. Mute, Unfollow me or block me if you wish that's your prerogative and that's what makes Mastodon an amazing place. Yes someone is going to be outraged at this too and I'm sorry for that too. I'm not good at putting things into words so I'm going to stop now before digging any deeper holes.
One to watch especially for #Xorg fans is a new upcoming fork of Xorg called XLibre Xserver.
I will be watching this project very closely to see where it goes and I will be giving it a test drive for sure. This is big news especially if they succeed in keeping Xorg alive and upto date with new features which I really hope they do.

Update
Regarding the README saying " It's explicitly free of any "DEI" or similar discriminatory policies. Anybody who's treating others nicely is welcomed."
I don't think they've worded things correctly. Basically I think what they are trying to say is "That it doesn't matter who you are or how you identity as long as you're respectful then feel free to contritube in some way"
That's just my take for now though unless things change.
