    You’re worried about supporting communists/nazi’s, but supporting reddit that is largely funded by a Chinese Conglomerate and has a CEO that used to moderate a borderline child porn sub wasn’t a problem? Kind of an arbitrary line to draw, don’t you think?

      Yes, it’s unpleasant. Nevertheless, Reddit allows writing about the Uyghur genocide and dropped a nuclear bomb on Russian disinformation when it banned Russian domains

      CEO that used to moderate a borderline child porn sub wasn’t a problem

      I didn’t know about it until this API crisis

      Realistically, all large social networks have disgusting practices. But when I use open source software, I don’t want to have any ties to Nazis and communists

        Reddit allows writing about the Uyghur genocide

        So do the vast majority of Lemmy instances.

        when I use open source software, I don’t want to have any ties to Nazis and communists

        Open source means it’s open for everyone to use and work on. Everyone is an all inclusive term. People with different views than you can also know how to code and develop. There are people contributing to Lemmy of multiple races, backgrounds, and political beliefs.
