    Overreaction is the only tool that works to stop enshittification before it starts.

    Lean on Framework. Insist they vet projects before giving them money. There's nothing here that can't be undone.

    There's nothing here that can't be undone.

    I firmly disagree. Anyone who doesn't actually know what framework is, will see them via a google search on the laptop in passing interest. Anyone who comes across a post like this when researching isn't going to continue further to see if they got better, just like people who make these posts aren't going to go back and change their comments saying otherwise.

    Additionally, It's optimistic to say that they should vet projects before giving them money but, chances are this is going to just dissuade them from giving money to projects in the future.

    But this is also assuming this actually takes off, Lemmy has been the only area I've even seen the complaints about framework

    It's not one comment from hyperland, it's an harasement campain that led them to be baned from freedesktop.org and rightfully so.

    And the blog post you liked is a rant that there not enough white people in london while supporting the tommy robinson march ( a nazi event ).

    You sure seem to be defending it a lot though.

    Why am I not surprised you think that one post is the only issue.

    Sure, here's a quote of a comment I made on the other post:

    They said a hint of the kind of person, you took that to nazi. There is a lot more up on DHH's blog... including complaining about being called a nazi, btw.

    Because, you know.... he's a nazi. Even that "wahhhh" post is just full of nazi talking points.

    Edit: Just to be clear, this is not the only example.

    I really don't understand how anyone can say he isn't what he is - a nazi.

    Overreacting can undermine your cause. I don't see how reacting accordingly cannot "stop enshittification before it starts".
