I love how they always portray projects like this as "politically polarizing". You look inside and it's always just plain old not-polarizing misogyny. Really shows where this "news" outlets stand.

Kindof amusing to see people call "purity testing" on people who object to someone who's quoted as being upset by checks notes a lack racial or ethnic purity.

[Sarcasm] C'mon everyone, can't we just get along and hold hands with racists and other people who consider the rest of us subhuman? As long as what they're doing doesn't bother me personally you're all overreacting and fragmenting this ~~nazi bar~~ community!

Edits: fiddling with phrasing :-\

I don't buy from fascist supporters if I can help it. Screw Framework

People here complaining about purity testing even though really it's just poison testing.

The standard isn't even if it's pure in ideology it's to test is not poisonous.

Here‘s my take as a relatively tech savvy guy with no introspective into the Linux scene and its political affiliation: I’ll buy framework products because of the repairability and upgradability as long as I can run whatever I want on it.

Most consumers that are sustainability minded (like myself) have no clue what hyprland or omarchy is.

I’m sure it’s a big deal within a small niche but the average consumer won’t know or care.

its because tech companies are generally so out if touch with their userbase

Imagine the downfall of framework being the donations made to some obscure (tankie?) dev that a part of the community does not agree with. This toxic "holier than thou" attitude of the linux community leads to fragmentation and will be the doom of the linux phone project too, I swear. Someone will find an obscure package developed by an asshole/tankie/nazi/whatever and will rage about how the project is now immoral because the project devs support it and insist on a public boycott. Why do some people seem to be unable to separate the software from the developer? Framework or the software dev is not your friend. Is their hardware/software decent and open? Cool, then keep using it, tankie devs be damned, or at least fork it and make your own morally pure version. But this endless bickering over what devs support will lead to nothing good.

I don't support the views of the endorsed projects, but surely a better reaction would be to suggest alternatives instead of just screaming for outright dismissal? I keep reading that "omarchy is just a bunch of scripts" and "hyperland is just one tiling window manager". If that's the case, there probably are better alternatives no? Or if it's as easy as described why not fork it?

Complaining without an alternative or a solution is not productive, IMO
