I really hope Framework ignores these people. They are not Linux Ambassadors, they are political activists. These people only care about their ideology and anyone who doesn't blindly follow it gets defamed.

I, and I would imagine many, are tired of this sort of binary thinking. You are either part of the problem or part of the solution. Society can't function like this.

Society can't function when people aren't allowed to make their own choices.

Why can't they choose political activism? What on earth binds them to a corporate entity and over-rides their agency?

If you want to step up and be an Ambassador, go for it! But if you think they should be compelled to do so, that's an ideological/political point of view of yours and you need to substantiate it.

For the same reasons you don't want Christians proselytizing at work, or using a company's platform to talk about their Lord and savior.

What is their ideology? Being political activists? How?

These are two people stepping down from community position because they don't agree with actions/direction of the project. There is nothing bizarre about that. They posted why they don't agree and that's it.

In today's post-truth landscape, words no longer mean their literal meaning, but are used as weapons.

The person you were replying to is very much aware that they are not literally a political activist. However, they find their positions so disagreeable that they want to label them as political activists because it creates a very specific connotation in people's heads.

It is about the furthest thing from a good faith framing that you can possibly get. But it's pretty par for course on Hacker News.

Terminally online leftism.
