Title of the (concerning) thread on their community forum, not voluntary clickbait. Came across the thread thanks to a toot by @[email protected] (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
The messaging was:
What do you expect the average person to take away from that?
Harris ran an awful campaign IMO, so it’s not surprising that people opted for the alternative.
What do I expect them to think? “Trump was a shit president last time, why would I give him another shot”
To the average voter who doesn’t follow things very closely, the options were basically:
Unfortunately, far too many people blame the economy on the sitting President, when they often have little influence on it. Trump was president during an economic boom, and got out just as COVID was going. Biden was president through COVID, and by all accounts was incapable of the job during at least part of his term. What do you expect the average person to do who doesn’t follow politics closely but catches bits and pieces closer to the election? Of course they’ll go with the person promising change over the person promising the status quo…
