sooo the dylan field/figma/zionism drama on the bird app hasn't made it here yet

fc designers, how are we feeling about the ceo of figma blocking designers who support palestine or are anti-zionist?

personality hire 🌈🤙 fullstack & ux, building /uno

the blocking is weird, but I am in the "your account your rules" camp

he's free to retweet / block whoever and people are free to diss - don't know what else I'm supposed to do or say about it 🤷‍♂️

yeah i just find it fascinating from a psychological standpoint

in terms of all notable figures who take stands or don't, especially ones with a company's reputation to tarnish

like think of elon stepping down as twitter ceo

or tswift NEVER taking a stand on anything

I keep in mind that he's relatively young and personally affected (he is jewish); he may be a CEO but he's still a person

facts

my dad’s side is polish/czech jewish and not really religious anyway so I wasn’t really raised with the idea of “the homeland”

but my grandfather was in a concentration camp so I’ve seen the effects rampant antisemitism can have on a person
