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

This is the part I'm talking about:

i do want to point out how hard it is to even find out about the views of these people

...

even looking up the name of David Heinemeier Hansson, the more vocally bad of these, i had to go to the 5th link to find anything even vaguely mentioning his views

You are not the person I originally responded to, how would you know they were referencing the OP? There aren't even 5 links in the article, and if we count the embedded X posts, the fifth link is about Hyprland. I'm pretty sure that's not what the OP is referring to.

The OP's point is that it's hard to find info on these people's views, and the links in the OP are from other people doing that digging. As in, we likely wouldn't know their views if these bloggers didn't dig through posts looking for it.

Tbh I'm not sure what you're saying here. Person said they had to scroll down 5 results to get to the asshole being an asshole and seemed to think that was proof it's hard to research (hence my "five whole links") and then you seemed to be saying that since it's "hard to find" and the business isn't slapping a nazi flag front and center on their website means it's fine to use their stuff. If that's not what you meant, great. But you said the same thing again, so I'm pretty sure you meant it.
