     @kj00 Besides, people have forked it and then it quickly became a worse and outdated version of the real one.

     Yeah, I really don’t get this.

     Forking the repo, keeping everything as it is, compiling from source to…. own Alex Gleason?

     I moderate r/Fediverse and often express my beliefs about this: I don’t care who made the software. I never paid you a dime. You support software freedom the way I do, your software doesn’t contain any inherent biases, I can use it in whatever way I want to.

     You made a tool. You didn’t make a tool that can only be used in one way or the other. You made a tool. I’m not going to stop using your tool simply because I disagree with you. I’d only do that if I’d have to pay for your tool.

     And if it’s about using software made by someone you disagree with then…. what’s a fork gonna do? 99% of that source code will still be written by the guy you’re trying to avoid. Makes no sense to me…

     To be fair, how does Mastodon impose their politics beliefs on others?

     They merely ask you to have moderation and stuff if you want to be featured on their website, there are no rules to using Mastodon. The only rule to using the Mastodon name in a domain for example would be to use the Mastodon software.

     So how is Mastodon imposing their political beliefs on anyone?

     Never concede a point. If you find you've misstepped, rather than retreating, you can actually just point out your opponent smells bad or their mother has a lame onlyfans

     @josh @Erik I think his point is “everyone is free here”, which is true. Mastodon is not oppressing me, they’re just creating an inferior product for a smaller audience while being mean about it.

     Not using software because of the views of the creator is one thing (and also dumb), but not using software because of the views of some users is fucking moronic.

     Actually, I kind of get this guy now. It's important that the devs of whatever software you're using have sustainable ethics. Except in this case, Alex is the ethical dev. Let's say someone running a free speech Mastodon server reports an issue or just seeks help because they can't solve a problem. Do you think the Mastodon team would help them or just tell them to shut up? Would they let the person contribute?
     I can imagine Mastodon turning away people they disapprove of. Soapbox, not so much.

     A large spreadsheet was created a while back and one of the reasons to block was simply: soapbox instance.
