    nobody cares about your “friendly remainders”. We’re talking about software here, not politics.

    Nah. I care. You dont speak for me. I cant tell if you’re a shill for Brave or a MAGAt or both.

      Wow. The internet must be really rough for you if people don’t wear labels so you know who to hate before learning a damn thing about them!

        Yeah, it’s terrible when an entire group of people are discriminated against for a label.

      I’m not a shill for Brave. It has its fair share of technical issues but it’s the less worse browser for my use case (better than FF, anyway). Your (or mine) opinion on the CEO has nothing to do with the technical issue discussed in OP’s link.

      And no, what MAGA are you talking about? I’m not even 'murican. Take your meds, dude.

          As someone who is currently inside of mental hospital grounds , reminding people to take their meds isnt bad I’d say . /hj

          On a serious side I feel like this isn’t that bad , as it is more general than using a specific issue as an insult

      I mean, you can grandstand all you want while you have no platforms to safely do it on. Pretty sure having working products for privacy is more important to activism than one guy being an asshole.

          Yeah that’s rarely the only trait someone has that I find objectionable. Homophobia tends to come in a cluster with other shithead opinions

          I’m…honestly surprised you can be on lemmy when you damn products over singular people. Just cause I know there’s people who have tried to dissuade others from lemmy over the developers. And in that case the people involved are even closer to the code than a CEO would be.

            If someone gets fired for being a piece of shit and then hired somewhere else it’s pretty fair to assume that company isn’t great. As they presumably knew that when they hired him and didn’t care.

            It’s also the person running the company not some random employee.

              Okay

              But in this entire discussion we haven’t even tied him or his homophobia to the feature change this article is discussing.

            Lemmy is one of the least “owned by a single person” projects online.

          🤔 look, I’m not defending bigotry….

          But an aggressive homophobe seems like the type to be highly motivated to care deeply about working privacy tools these days

          So who exactly do you trust?
