      Nah, they deserve this. There are people who deserve help, those that don’t wish others to die by oppressive regimes because they have different opinions. That person is not one of them.

      But hey, we’re lucky to have such a great developer for Lemmy! I sincerely hope for a fork by normal people soon-ish.

        Why the hell do you care about the political ideologies of the developers of your open source software?

          Really shouldn’t, but the developers work with admins to shape some of the largest spaces on Lemmy, which therefore impacts what new users see, which therefore impacts the potential growth of the platform

          To your point, the correct action is to just make your own instance and federate appropriately, but it is fair to say the core developers have expressed activist opinions that not everyone might agree with.

          Ultimately it’s their house, we are just visiting

          Edit woah just noticed how old this thread is. Sorry for Necro.

            As you say, though, the developers have given us the tools with which to create our own houses. Why do you say it’s their house?

    Alt-right 🤝 Tankies

    This is the first instance I’ve seen of a tankie being self aware. Instead of ragging on him, how about we politely show him that you can live a fulfilling life in capitalist society?

      It’s wishful thinking, but as you can see, they only want their comrades to reaffirm their beliefs and efforts (or lack therefore).

    The extreme irony of not putting the slightest effort into anything at all, but daydreaming about going to war to force everyone else to work only under the terms you set
