Does anyone know what’s going on at Framework?

One of my friends mentioned Omarchy is great but he said to not use it cause of it’s creator and I only just stumbled onto this trashfire just today.

    Using something provides social proof, builds brand loyalty, and by sharing that you use it, generates publicity, however small.

    So I’m going to go ahead and disagree with your assessment in its entirety, and judging by the tone of your response, I’ll move on from interacting with you further.

    Enjoy your day.

      by sharing that you use it

      aka “promoting”. They were specifically talking about using and not promoting.

      No.

      builds brand loyalty

      What brand are you referring to? Do you know what this is? It’s not a product, it’s free software.

      and by sharing that you use it

      That would be promotion if you did that, but it’s not part of using it.

      I’ll move on from interacting with you further.

      That’s probably smart.

        Yeah dude, clearly not a brand here. Just… Branded merch. Clearly this is not a brand.

        That would be promotion if you did that, but it’s not part of using it.

        You just did this very thing, demonstrating my point.

        That’s probably smart.

        Yeah, it would have been. But I felt the need to address your completely incorrect statements.

          Clearly this is not a brand.

          So you think using a piece of software promotes brand loyalty to…a line of clothing? I’m just not seeing the logic there. Buying the clothing is promoting and funding it. Using the software is not

          You just did this very thing, demonstrating my point.

          I did no such thing. You need to read more carefully. I didn’t tell anyone I use it. Because I don’t use it.

          Yeah, it would have been.

          And yet here you are again making a fool of yourself. Listen to your heart, brother.
