On Framework's latest controversy,

Work is work and if someone can keep their personal views out of it when it's not relevant, the quality of the work should be judged on it's own merits. I don't think holding that principle of neutrality is a very far reach. It is not Framework's duty to only support the people you like because of the reasons you approve. Particularly if we are talking about open source software where many of these are not directly making a profit, and particularly when this is a business and not a person. There's a dedicated time and place for everything.

I've watched a lot of maintainers gatekeep their projects to only contributors or members they agree with, and it never ends well for them, even if the people kicked out were objectively in the wrong. It demonstrates to onlookers that the maintainers care more about their own reputation than skill. And most of these are the same kinds of people who will insert extreme political messaging into projects that favor themselves. Probably the nastiest examples are when Discord Chat Exporter and node-ipc were compromised to target Russian users, with DRM and aggressive malware respectively. Not the government, mind you, but random ordinary people they thought were Russian. It's cultist bullshit.

Also, vaxry isn't even an extremist, all of that shit was made up by a known pedophile because he was mad he couldn't control vax's project. Never seen any serious proof of the claims against him. So even if this "you're supporting a nazi" stuff had any weight, it's aimed at the wrong people.
