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.
frankly, I dont trust an aggressive homophobe with my privacy
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.
Because that's not what this particular thread is discussing.
Yes it is, you just can't keep up
Lemmy is one of the least "owned by a single person" projects online.
That's the entire reason most of us are on Lemmy. Fuck spez.
I mean yeah, but Spez we know for a fact actually did something.
🤔 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?
So when brave pay you do they direct deposit or do you get a paper cheque?
😂😂😂 yes, because I made a joke I’m being paid by brave. You got me!
Question is, who’s paying you to get so butthurt over it?
Firefix just venmo'd me 50¢ to tell you to fuck off lol
Well at least you can admit it. That’s the first step
I didn't complete my contract yet :(
Bigots are privacy experts. The proof is in the radioactive pudding.
Don’t feed the troll
Yeah, so committed to privacy that he built it on chromium
