The person who makes Hyperland was blacklisted by freedesktop (Linux stuff) over saying something transphobic as far as I understand from a glance.
They made a post in response in which they said 'This other person threatened to sexually assault people as revenge for something small. I'm not the only person deserving of shame'. I'm sure there's more to this story, I don't care.
A hexbear user in response to this story wrote there's a false equivalence between a trans person calling for violence in a hyperbolic tweet and this app developer using their platform to spread anti-trans hate. I think, again, I do not care about the actual story, Fictitiousexistence's comment doesn't need context to be bad.

Yeah nah, fuck that guy then. All the modlog had was that he'd got banned; but the comment didn't have a removal message in the modlog, so I didn't see that-- that's fuckin gross.
