Decided to make a dedicated page for this.

@brennan

Nice. A great list of fascist supporters and enablers to avoid or deprecate

What's the story with Framework? They did sponsor DHH and caught a lot of heat from it. Did they change their minds? 🫤

[cwilcox808@c.im]

@db
Lumping someone who expressed mainstream Catholic positions in with fascists and white supremacists hardly seems fair.
@brennan

[brennan@social.lol]

@cwilcox808 I added clarification that the list of people is not *just* far-right sympathizers, but I do think someone homophobic and anti-choice is still someone I'd want to avoid

[brennan@social.lol]

@simonzerafa yes, it does look like they changed their minds.

i'll add these links to the site

[db@social.lol]

@cwilcox808 @brennan *shrugs* personally i'm more concerned for the people who are being discriminated against than ranking the atrocities of those doing the harm

there is a line, they crossed it - on the shit list they go!

[airisdamon@mastodon.social]

@cwilcox808 @db @brennan A distinction without a difference. Heh heh.

[ghostsheetz@alaskan.social]

@brennan the distro of fascists.

[simonzerafa@infosec.exchange]

@brennan

That's food to hear! I'll read up on those links shortly.

It's not directly related but Mullvad VPN are basically bankrolling an extremest party in Sweden 🫤

[sigmundur@radikal.social]

@alamarw @brennan So good to also have hopeful proactive things one can do!

Small nitpick, why Gitea over Forgejo?

[stevel@hachyderm.io]

@brennan ooh, there's another brutal tactic OSS developers can apply: just don't accept bug reports that arise on Omarchy.

"If you can replicate this on another platform then we will care"

"I won't run Omarchy, wouldn't be able to test it. Can you run a linux distribution that's not backed by DHH?

FOSS licenses don't stop DHH distributing your stuff, but they don't require you to care at all if your code doesn't work on Omarchy

[brennan@social.lol]

@stevel great idea! added it to the site

[brennan@social.lol]

@sigmundur added!

[alamarw@mastodon.social]

@sigmundur @brennan Great call out. I use Forgejo for as my local forge

[sigmundur@radikal.social]

@alamarw @brennan Yeah Forgejo is great!
Am using Codeberg to host the code for a website I am working on for our local anarchist group ️

[alamarw@mastodon.social]

@sigmundur @brennan Nice! I'm about to be moving all of the projects that I care about to codeburg, as well as my neocities website that I've been plodding along on

[davidcelis@xoxo.zone]

@brennan just in case you’d like ANOTHER reference piece… i dove into why DHH fits the actual definition of fascist about a year ago too https://davidcel.is/articles/the-dhh-problem

[archagon@mastodon.social]

@brennan Cloudflare, too? Missed that. Gross.

On the upside, Googling around led me to this article (by @alatiera I think?) which is straight spitting fire: https://blogs.gnome.org/alatiera/2025/11/06/dhh-and-omarchy-midlife-crisis/

[brennan@social.lol]

@archagon CF is one of the worst. They provided support for the Daily Stormer, 8chan, and KiwiFarms and only dropped support after people died.

[be@floss.social]

@brennan Thanks, it's helpful to have a resource that summarizes what is going on for those who haven't been following it play out step by step.

[odin@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@brennan @neatnik What good alternatives are out there for Square and Stripe?

(Also you may want to note that Block = Square, I didn’t remember this rebrand)
