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 abo=
ut
*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 pe=
ople
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 be=
ing
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:

Now this thread has the link to the relevant forum post of theirs.

Thanks!
