I read an old thread documenting the opinions of Lemmy maintainers an the .ml instance. The issue of funding a project with people openly expressing opinions many find distasteful and it being the biggest reddit alternative on the fediverse came up, so here's a topic to discuss it.

What should we do? What are the options?

Answer: No fork necessary, there are Piefed and Mbin.

Usually it is as this point things turn to shit in opensource/community/fediverse/cooperative. The devs are not the product.

Who will go in holidays with 100% of the team for every product one use ?

What does this even mean? Who creates something doesn't matter at all? If that's the case, then using Microshaft products doesn't matter, does it? They can provide the infra and software for bombing Gaza but who cares right? They make software that is worth using so we should keep giving them money. No problem.

Please re again my previous message. I didn’t mention any single thing of your list.

Sorry if this has been triggering for you, have a nice Christmas.
