    oh boy I can’t wait for all of the integrations to break

    also is it just me or is deciding what software you use and do not pay for based on the political views of the people who create it (who again in no way benefit from its use by people who don’t donate) incredibly fucking stupid

      Do you know what topic brought you here?

      “Hey guys, let’s not use this free software, because of their views.”

      “Maybe we shouldn’t use this other free software because of their views.”

      “Why are you guys worried about which free software you use based on their views?”

      “We can all tell you aren’t new, why are you complaining about our unofficial pastime?”

        It’s almost like the philosophy behind a software matters to its long-term stability. Like, as if devs might find reasons to, I don’t know, reject PRs, ignore bugs, and trash their users when they come to them for help.

        Weird that the content of someone’s mind might affect their actions or be an indicator of what level of trust they should be extended!

      @AVincentInSpace @remington The Lemmy devs are infamously difficult to work with. They’ve repeatedly shown an unwillingness to even acknowledge the existence of the many problems that instance admins face. That has been a big driver in Beehaw’s decision to move platforms, not just because of a difference in political views, and they’ve been pretty open about discussing it. You’re way off-base.
