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. โ
@vegetablegremlin realises that brands should prioritise their supply chains over antagonising their support base โ
@TheCoolest for calling out the response as tone deaf, given the #OpenHardware community's values. โ
@pauliehedron for calling out the degraded interaction since Alex Bates left โ
@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. โ
@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.
Um wow no.
(The folks calling it out will be on a #ConnectionList shortly ๐ )
