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

I don't know who you're going to find that's better, all these big companies are inevitably supporting way more problematic individuals

Exactly. As bad as we might think Framework is because of all this, what's a more ethical company to buy a laptop from?

Regardless, it's still important to call out problematic behavior when we see it.

There are no alternatives, literally everything else is worse.

Framework did something bad. I hope the community keeps the pressure and they consider going back on the stupid decision. But it's still on top of the list as potential choices if I need a new computer, literally nothing else comes close.
