Framework supporting far-right racists? (community.frame.work)

Title of the (concerning) thread on their community forum, not voluntary clickbait. Came across the thread thanks to a toot by @Khrys@mamot.fr (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

Framework appears to intend to support bad people.

Framework intends to support open source projects. That has been their goal. Ascribing a different intent to it is just factually incorrect at best.

If you tell me "I will use some of any money you give me to fund terrorism" and I choose to give you money anyway, I am deliberately funding terrorism.

Framework is deliberately funding white nationalists. They may not have been before yesterday, but now they've been told and now they've been told that's what they're doing.
