Has this been proven in any sort of way? As far as I know, some suckless developers like to pretend to be "software nazis" (similar to "grammar nazi" but regarding software) and hence joke about that, but I don't think the conclusion is that they are actually nazis. Happy to be proven wrong though, haven't looked into the matter more than that and wouldn't be the first time I would be wrong.
Given how we witnessed ironic edgelord racism on places like 4chan metamorphose into open, actual, earnest racism in like a decade or less, I'd say no, s*ckless do NOT get a pass on this.
Besides, they tend to rant about SJWs a lot -- red flag #1 that they are for reals far right.

Did some quick searches and couldn't find anything racist posted by suckless developers, but hard to search for. Got any links handy so one could form their own opinion?

Yeah, sometimes that is true, but I prefer to see hard evidence before reaching any conclusion, especially when people start advocating to stop mentioning software because of it.
This concept is new to me… any chance you could offer a quick summary? Is there like a fascist movement within software development called “suckless”, or what’s up with this?
I don't know where the neo-nazism stuff comes from, but I do know about suckless.
Suckless is a organization that describes itself as "focus on simplicity, clarity and frugality", and "philosophy is about keeping things simple, minimal and usable", from https://suckless.org/philosophy/
I think they are most famous for dwm, but have written a lot of other good software as well.
There's probably lots of such programs. I know suckless sent for example.
