Comment on Does Lemmy need a fork or a rewrite due to its maintainers views?
onlinepersona@programming.dev 6 days agoOK, let’s say somebody who hates you to the core and wants to see you dead made software you found great. All they said was stuff like “I think your kind deserves to be shot”, “your kind are subhuman”, “they hung your kind and I see nothing wrong with that”.
Would you use their software? Would you enjoy being part of the numbers that they use to validate getting money, maybe even power? Would you publicly promote their software? Would you get others to use it? Would you even donate to them? Would you get others to donate to them?

How does the Lemmy creators actually personally benefit from the fact I run my own Lemmy instance?
I do not donate to them, but how is the technology created be them evil if it fits my concept of decentralized web?
Do they get money because I run my instance o use another one not under their control? O doubt it
I am actually using their tech against themselves, so what?
