This had me confused for a moment, but then I realized that you probably thought st was referring to https://st.suckless.org/

Don’t worry, it’s not.

st on my systems is an alias for git status.

Even so, I think that twitter thread is somewhat confusing because they draw parallels between walking with torches and nazism (?)

In my country, torches are often used in peaceful protests against racism.

I dunno.

But the email thread that was linked to seemed to be nazi apologetic for sure. So I guess if one was to consider using their software one should perhaps look more into what kind of things the people involved in that project stand for exactly.

They were doing torch marches in the same places where the nazis (like, literally Hitler's party in the 1930s) were doing their famous torch marches.

That's hard to justify as anti-racism protest while also using hostnames based on Hitler's residences.

Ah, that's an interesting shortcut.

In that case I agree with you, that is a rather clear expression of nazi sympathies on the part of the people that would do that.

You might be interested in my other git shortcuts also. This README has all the details you need about them:
