Comment on Does Lemmy need a fork or a rewrite due to its maintainers views?
jonnylyy@discuss.tchncs.de 3 days agoI totally support what you said. If I don’t support someone financially by using his or her product I don’t see a big issue. And when reading through Lemmy comments for any given open source project there is at least one comment saying the mantainer said or did something or even a contributer is an asshole or has the wrong political view and therefore nobody should use the Programm. As long as the maintainer try’s to make something that more or less follows my views for a open and decentralized web I’m fine. If I think about donating on the other hand I would check if the morals are on the same line

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 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.
