   @Erik

   I don't think tech is neutral.

   I am not comfortable about tech created by people who have a bad attitude towards human rights.

     Also: if you deny trans rights, you’ll get yeeted off this platform.

     Tech in general isn’t neutral, but there’s nothing within the source code of Lemmy that endorses denying genocides.

     Like, I use Soapbox, but I’m not a TERF

     There's already an alternative in Kbin, might be better to go down that route now?

     I sympathise, but I also think separating politics from the software to some extent is important for the fediverse at large. If core devs are problematic, then fork or put up new independent instances. There’s gotta be a bit more teamwork if there’s going to be a good ecosystem of software

     @maegul @Erik

     It's not about support for one country or another, or one political viewpoint or another.Trying to present it as such is missing the point and giving it a political cover that it doesn't deserve.

     The red flag is the consistent denial of well-documented human rights abuses. That kind of denial is never acceptable from anyone under any circumstances.

     @feditips @Erik additionally to this, it might be worth considering what values are shared. While you may be accurate, and I might have myself seen a red flag or two about excessive support for Russia/China, I’ve certainly been happy hanging on lemmy and with the views of many there. I’d also question, if we’re going to get real for a second, the values of mastodon as a platform and whether anyone should join it. Point being, I’m inclined to think big picture stuff might win out on this one.

     @Erik

     It's more than just code.

     If you use a platform, it tends to give more power and more resources to the person developing it.

     Projects with the best funding tend to be the ones with the widest userbase.

     Also, it allows the official channels to advertise the instances owned by the project. In Lemmy's case they are promoting lemmy.ml and lemmygrad on the official Lemmy website.

     "That doesn’t mean I begin telling people to not use Mastodon."

     If Mastodon's lead developer was running/promoting an instance like Lemmygrad, I'd be telling everyone to leave Mastodon straight away.
