MODERATORS
The problem is giving their project support also gives them a bigger platform and more influence which could lead to more people being exposed to their beliefs or them having a bigger impact
No, one does not follow from the other, especially for open source projects. Quite the opposite: for the project to grow, it will need to attract more people. To attract more people, they will need to dial down their extremist positions. If they don't they will end up having their project forked.
Also,
Great. Let more people be exposed to their beliefs so that they can learn how stupid they are.
Why are you posting on lemmy if you don't think we should support lemmy?
Eh I called them out on it, but I'd rather they be used to continue developing the code base, which can be forked if necessary. People should be smart enough to evaluate their beliefs, and if not well.. something would have gotten them eventually.
