    i’ve linked to more context in the original post

    but the TL;DR is:

    • framework has started to financially support open-source project
    • among those projects are hyprland and omarchy, both having ties to the far-right (hyprland’s community is a toxic nazi bar and omarchy is maintained by a loud and proud racist)
    • people were understandably upset at framework for this
    • framework’s response was “nooo you guys, we are apolitical! we are trying to make a big tent! and that includes fascists too, stop being meanies!”

        Overreaction is the only tool that works to stop enshittification before it starts.

        Lean on Framework. Insist they vet projects before giving them money. There’s nothing here that can’t be undone.

            It’s not one comment from hyperland, it’s an harasement campain that led them to be baned from freedesktop.org and rightfully so.

            And the blog post you liked is a rant that there not enough white people in london while supporting the tommy robinson march ( a nazi event ).
