There was some silly drama because they shared something about a police officer who used their products. No doubt everyone forgot about that within a few days, thats how Masotodon is.
No, they didn't share a post about how a police officer used their products.
They shared about because they were bragging about hiring a police officer that used to use their products to do surveillance before he started working for them.
Then when they were called out for that, they doubled down

Like I said, pointless drama that no one cared about for more than a couple of days. As usual on Mastodon.
In my experience, people very much still care about it...
The outrage was apparently about how Raspberry Pi replied to comments on Mastodon after their announcement. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisstokelwalker/raspberry-pi-hired-ex-cop-mastodon-controversy @snek_boi@lemmy.ml
The replies were beyond inept for a social media manager.
