Sure, no argument with that - although I am happy piefed is rising as an alternative.
I did not intend to claim moral superiority or any absolutes, which is, again, why I just tend to also provide a small disclaimer while recommending that kind of software.
It’s more about giving a small preface to people I care about should they ever end up intending to contribute to certain projects. I don’t think that’s an unreasonable stance to take. But if you think it is and weren’t just doing a social media zinger let me know.

Like clockwork, tankies will call actual leftists “liberals” everytime someone mentions that tankies are fascists who support capitalist imperialism from Russia and China.

Yes, the famous communist fascist. His name is Stalin. You’ve probably heard of him.
In a world gone mad, you’d have to be insane to be sane.

Political “extremity” can’t be measured objectively.

That’s true but not useful.
It’s probably better to describe both ideologies as extreme-authoritarian or totalitarian. They’re about equally undesirable; when someone has a boot on your throat, it doesn’t matter much whether it’s the right boot or the left boot.
