The official !RasPi account on the official #Raspberry_Pi #Mastodon instance got crossways with a lot of people today. I don't know if it will be enough to make a noticeable dent in the demand for their products, but they have definitely made some former customers consider other #SBCs instead.

For my part, I still intend to purchase #Raspberry_Pi products, along with most of the other brands that I've purchased in the past.

I do think that their social media marketing manager should get a course on reading the room. “Ha-ha-ha, we hired a guy who used our products to spy on people.” —> “Grow up. *Blocked.*”

@geniusmusing Yep. And if the Raspberry Pi Mastodon account had just acknowledged those views as legitimate and said he changed careers for a reason, they could have defused this for all but the most extreme people.
