Calling it "nazi" just because the maintainer doesn't remove an endorsement that let's be real most people probably miss anyways... cmon zoom out a bit. Not saying it's a good look but it's really watering the word down.
I tend to agree, I also don't think its a useful term when thrown against many people because they might hold this kind of specific view but be progressive in many other ways, it means they can dismiss the term because they understand themselves to not be it, like when the right wing try to label leftists and progressives as "fascist", its just not accurate.
So what I prefer is to point out something that is harder to deny, I like to point out how happy they are to hold a view or position that is held by or promoted by fascists/nazis etc. Saying to somebody that they "side/agree with the fascists" on a view or policy seems to elicit a much more emotional reaction as its not something they can easily deny and they have to confront.
If it was me I would have removed the endorsement. Who cares if it segregates the communuty? I'd feel better if billionaire puppets were excluded and not filling FOSS with blobs and surveillance crap, or whatever other hardships they present to our species this week.
I think he just doesn't like being bossed around with demands on issues he doesn't feel are "important". So he refused to do it out of principle. Of course then people like vultures started attacking him so he doubled down, can't blame him.
But it seems like he changed his mind and removed it after all. The change got merged.

If there's a table with 9 Nazis, and you choose to go and sit and eat with them, then there's a table with 10 Nazis.

No one attacked him. People simply pointed it out and he was immediately obstinate and defensive.
It's shitty behavior, through and through.
Nobody attacked him. He doubled down first and then cried victim when people pointed out how suspicious his doubling-down looked.
