If we had to make a public statement about why Debian is okay with shipping hyprland I doubt that such a statement would include that we are welcoming those people who want to see some of our members gone or would be fine with harassment and trolling. When Framework was asked about a clarification about *why* they are okay with funding hyprland they could've said that they stand for diversity and respectful interaction and that they do explicitly *not* endorse what some important figures in the hyprland community are known for. But that's not what they did. Instead, they doubled down and explained that they follow the "big tent" approach, meaning that they even invite those people who want to see others out. [1] I don't like Framework for supporting hyprland because of the people behind that software. But I like them even less for then doubling down and even being explicitly welcoming to people who we would very likely and for good reason not tolerate as part of the Debian project. And *that* would be my main argument against Debian collaborating with them. That's what I meant in my other mail when I said: > Framework made it very clear that their tent is big enough for even those > people who would rather see this world be less diverse. Now this thread has the link to the relevant forum post of theirs. Thanks! cheers, josch [1] https://community.frame.work/t/75986/2
