       I'm not sure what happened with Framework besides what others in Fedi are saying (it seems that they got into hot water due to sponsoring Omarchy and Hyperland, two projects notorious for toxic communities), but I feel that the team should have reassured community members that their own dev communities would not be as toxic, especially towards marginalized users. We can certainly dispute whether or not we should support useful projects from shitlords, but supportive dev communities help talented contributors from unwarranted harassment. It's why a lot of Pleroma/Akkoma communities have held up, where open federation doesn't mean that they can't maintain comfy communities that people can feel safe in.Then again, it could be either that Framework doesn't know the full extent of Omarchy and Hyperland's toxicity, or that they're techbro babies who are scared of confronting the tech industry's worst social issues. For the former, they can take the time to reassess Omarchy and Hyperland based on their community support, since even though they want to listen to other political perspectives, they certainly would not accept the plain hostility that those communities have. For the latter, Framework doesn't seem nearly as shitty as Bluskey's team, who threw a temper tantrum for un-banning a known bigot just becuase they're a famous influencer, so I can see them trying to make amends to upset users, but if not, we should be more comfortable with losing our faith in ethical companies. The shitfucks at Fairphone took away the headphone jack because they didn't care about how much much much much more sustainable wired headphones are (they got into disposable wireless earbuds, even), and Framework previously made a desktop with a proprietary form factor when the mini-ITX form factor was right there. Even while they're overall better than the rest of the industry, they have built their brands based on a higher moral standard than the rest of the industry, so they should be held to that higher moral standard.

       @radmin I never really understood the hype behind Omarchy. I had one look at the wiki and noped out after I saw that they were bundling in non-free software (Obsidian - which they claim is ""free"", 1password, Spotify, typora, whatever else was under "commercial guis"). Disgusting. Why anyone would fund what could literally just be a bash script to install everything is beyond me.
