This is obviously contrived. While there are outspoken Nazis in open source (DHH and the hyprland folks come to mind), they generally engage in more cryptonazi shit and don't advertise quite that way.
But this is a thought experiment. It is, moreover, *my* thought experiment that I'm inviting you on.
Given those caveats, that this is contrived and artificial, what emotions would you find yourself feeling in that moment, launching a previously beloved app?

It is, to be absolutely clear, *not your project*. In a very real (if narrow) sense, the developers and maintainers are well within their rights to publish that update to *their* application, to *their* project. There might be issues with the code of conduct or terms of service on their forge, but that's aside from the point of the thought experiment: there is a thing you use on the daily that now presents very clear and strong fascist imagery directly into your eyeballs.
