I read an old thread documenting the opinions of Lemmy maintainers an the .ml instance. The issue of funding a project with people openly expressing opinions many find distasteful and it being the biggest reddit alternative on the fediverse came up, so here's a topic to discuss it.

What should we do? What are the options?

Answer: No fork necessary, there are Piefed and Mbin.

And you seems to be from a non US instance, it might be related to the fact you seems to be the only agreeing with me.

But yes, at the end the concept it the technology should not be judged by the political views of the creator.

I also agree with not supporting it finacially if that money goes where you don't like.

People from the US agree with you. Lemmy is just overrun with irrationals who've never learned guilt by association, genetic fallacy, and other irrelevance fallacies are illogical & who've also never figured out that such irrationality is the root of many injustices. They're small minded & contemptible.

Well, that's true of most internet. Luckly, internet Is not (yet) real life.
