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
You seem to be talking about influencers and whatnot. I’m talking about your average Joe in the middle that doesn’t really follow politics but was mad at things getting more expensive over Biden’s term. They aren’t large in numbers, but they tend to determine elections.
Ah, yes, there are also the terminally dumb and uneducated. But those people are just weaponized votes. They don’t appear to have their own thoughts or agency, just mindless drones following whatever their one podcast or one cable network or their one YouTube guy tells them to do.
But no, there’s also plenty of videos of random magas in various formats, and a driving factor for those people appears to be hate (with a healthy mix of not understanding the concept of cause and effect)
This is the response to people being unhappy prices sharply increased under Biden? People are hardly ‘dumb and uneducated’ for not liking price increases…
A statement that will always remain relevant: “It’s the economy, stupid.”
