Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

That is the one thing that still makes me unsure of whether I should fully support Lemmy or not. I know how the federation works and that those communities can be easily excluded, but what is off to me is that the two main devs of Lemmy itself (and the Android app) are themselves tankies.
Even if that is true, it shouldn't bother you I think. You have to let people have their convictions. The alternative is The Ministry of Truth. :)
Fascists and red-Fascists have no place in discourse. In part because their engagement is never good-faith.
We are talking about developping open source software. To be clear, you're saying you disagree with using copyleft software written by people whose politics you disagree with.
Not so much, more that I am concerned about ways they will use their influence for evil.
As authoritarians seem to all but inevitably do. I can't say I've known any single tankie to every be involved in a community project for long without trying to purge or poison it.
