Is there more details?

[-] carotte 68 points 4 days ago

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.

Well, out of all projects they funded, they just so happen to mention the nazi one significantly more than the others on Twitter. They like mentioning it a lot.

And it's not an important package or some foundational project.

I agree that these are fringe projects and framework should spend their money on more important ones.
