i’ve linked to more context in the original post

but the TL;DR is:

framework has started to financially support open-source project
among those projects are hyprland and omarchy, both having ties to the far-right (hyprland’s community is a toxic nazi bar and omarchy is maintained by a loud and proud racist)
people were understandably upset at framework for this
framework’s response was "nooo you guys, we are apolitical! we are trying to make a big tent! and that includes fascists too, stop being meanies!"

I read the links provided in the other thread. This seems to be a bit of an overreaction.

Overreaction is the only tool that works to stop enshittification before it starts.

Lean on Framework. Insist they vet projects before giving them money. There's nothing here that can't be undone.

Overreacting can undermine your cause. I don't see how reacting accordingly cannot "stop enshittification before it starts".
