Good morning everyone on :fediverse:, except if you're an open #HardWare brand account that's gone full raspberry-flavoured milkshake duck. This morning I want to give a shout out #ConnectionList #Introduction to all the folx who called #RPi on their poor handling of #surveillance-related material.

@pikesley gets a mention because he realises that *everything is political*, and this is especially the case if you hire a cop who uses your hardware covertly for surveillance. 100% agree, pikesley. Dismantle the status quo. โœŠ

@vegetablegremlin realises that brands should prioritise their supply chains over antagonising their support base โœŠ

@TheCoolest for calling out the response as tone deaf, given the #OpenHardware community's values. โœŠ

@pauliehedron for calling out the degraded interaction since Alex Bates left โœŠ

@Lazarou for calling attention to the brand reputation damage #RPi is suffering because of their #SocMed actions. This will become a textbook example of how not to social media. โœŠ

@simonzerafa for calling out that #RPi's audience values are manifested differently on #Mastodon, and the brand manager was insensitive to this.

There are many more folx to mention, so please do curate your own #ConnectionList so we can more closely connect the #Fediverse.

Full disclosure: I admin fediverse.au and I defederated the #RPi instance from that host.

Folx, I'm conscious of my positionality as a white cis woman in Australia, with anglo (deliberately lowercased) heritage. And I know how systems often have reinforcement loops that create bubbles.

If you are someone who identifies as an under-represented cohort - however you define that, and you'd like to be on my #ConnectionList to build your connections across the :fediverse: - please reach out publicly or privately.

If you don't post in English, I will do my best to provide an introduction in your preferred language. Because there are 7139 spoken languages in the world, not one.
