To me, this is like Richard Stallman and certain reprehensible actions and opinions.
Just like with Stallman and his contributions to software, I can justify using Lemmy to myself due to it being open source and the devs not directly financially profiting from the spread of Lemmy (although it certainly raises their public profile).
It’s definitely unfortunate that they’re Tankies.
Lemmy will likely have its own “the narwhal bacons at midnight” phase.
It’ll interesting to see what it is…and then almost immediately tiresome.
Agreed, justice should be apolitical.
