I couldn't agree more. Injecting personal political advocacy into a professional context is itself unprofessional and raises large numbers of questions about fly.io and the Gleam project's ability to operate in solely professional context.

It's this "turn everything into activism" bullshit that people across the the political spectrum engage in on social media that got me to cancel all my social media accounts some years ago (present company excluded).

The other problem with these statements is they can never get rid of them, because the people that like them will freak out if they do that. It's like the land acknowledgements we have in Canada that keep getting longer and longer and will never go away unless the pendulum eventually swings
