Framework supporting far-right racists? (community.frame.work)

Title of the (concerning) thread on their community forum, not voluntary clickbait. Came across the thread thanks to a toot by @Khrys@mamot.fr (French speaking)

The gist of the issue raised by OP is that framework sponsors and promotes projects lead by known toxic and racists people (DHH among them).

I agree with the point made by the OP :

The “big tent” argument works fine if everyone plays by some basic civil rules of understanding. Stuff like code of conducts, moderation, anti-racism, surely those things we agree on? A big tent won’t work if you let in people that want to exterminate the others.

I'm disappointed in framework's answer so far

And that is relevant to the thread because ... ? I don't know, ദ്ദി ? If you are trying to make an objective evaluation of their products, you could not make seem any more of a smear attempt by replying in this thread out-of-context.

It's relevant because we're talking about Framework. Product quality factors into evaluating the company besides their poloitical ties.

ദ്ദി, but your evaluation means nothing to me but subjective hearsay.

Here is what responding in the actually proper context looks like: https://www.reddit.com/r/framework/comments/181fl9m/what_are_your_major_criticisms_of_the_framework/
