I would like to mirror the action of some of the other community members here, and ask for an appropriate response to our concern regarding the discussion following the public announcement of Framework’s sponsoring of Hyprland, and encourage other caring users to do a similar thing in order to express that this is important for their community in order to keep supporting the nice work that Framework does.
Original post now locked:
Other community member post describing the issue.
and mirroring here my initial comment that couldn’t be posted on the original post:
“I am cancelling my pre-order of FW 12 until an appropriate response is given by the Framework team: It is unacceptable to dismiss the concerns of the community when people are actively being harmed because of the leading individuals of some projects. I will reconsider my purchase when this is properly taken into consideration.
I support Framework as a platform for empowering people, and Framework’s investments and allies are by extension of my support, my investments and my allies. If there is a considerable agreement that some of these could be actively engaged in damaging the community, even if it is not directly through their work, but by misusing their platforms, we need to renegotiate.
Just saying “big tent” and “we cannot have a proper conversation over here“ is not enough”
