Framework is looking for Linux Community Ambassadors! We are looking for active members of the Linux community who frequently visit Linux and open-source events throughout the year to help us connect with the larger Linux community. Our volunteer ambassadors will attend local Linux and open-source events, meet with other Framework laptop users and potential community members, answer questions, gather feedback, and showcase Framework laptops and parts to those interested.

Picking at my words, fine. Your point is that this is enough responsibilities for a job because the ambassadors will have to be terminally online to answer every single question (and somehow make appointments, which isn’t mentioned at all. The locations are predetermined.). My point is that the only questions they’ll have to answer is about what locations they’ll show up to: that’s the context that precedes the “reach out on social media” part; questions are only answered at physical locations while attending conventions. I think that’s a pretty big reduction in responsibilities.

… to then promote a commercial product in person by show hardware, answer questions, and hand out stickers. In the end nothing what you guys said negates this being an unpaid PR job for a commercial company.
My point is that you don’t have as much responsibility to take on. If it was a paid job and a position, then it could arguably stir up controversy and give a lot of burden to the potential employee to not freak up their mouth and have people believe they said what the company believes. They also wouldn’t have to purge their social media account for iffy views.

Because it’s not a paid job and you’re not the social media manager, you’re not representing the entire company with your PR.
I’ve said all the time that it’s an unpaid job, duh.
Never claimed that. It’s an unpaid job to promote the product.
Entire company? No. Promote the hardware, a commercial product: Yes, very much yes.
