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'm very disappointed, this "open tent" argument is intellectualy dishonest and unacceptable: allowing openly hateful people into the big tent only means they will harm other people, and end up alone. It's just impossible to have a big tent with them and must be excluded.

I was trying to get the company I work for to adopt framework laptops as standard, and they were very interested. I've told them to stop the adoption effective immediately until there's a reversal in political messaging the company is doing, a simple "we're sorry we won't don't again" is not enough when they have funded

This also applies to recommending it to friends and family, of course.

So who are you going with then? Considering every company seems to be finding the right.
