    Yes yes, the authorities should deal with them but would you support them? Would you recommend their software if it was good, would you use their products?

      Right now I am using their software - so are you. Even though there was again a post about one of the devs. In the very best case those where some rather controversial statements about how the Chinese government treats Uyghurs. I strongly disagree with those statements and am still using lemmy and suggest it to friends. IMO the technical solutions is sound and much better than reddit.

        I mean, you didn’t answer the question though. My post was literally just two questions and you didn’t answer either.
