    Without arguing politics, the world is sliding very quickly towards facism and being on guard against it is incredibly important. I’m not buying a laptop and putting money in the pockets of someone who may then donate to or fund facism. None of that applies to a developer of a free open source software whose political ideal world is not rapidly approaching.

      Yeah: literally the only thing the developer of Lemmy gains from people using their software is kudos as a techie.

      Letting that person feel a bit better because of having another user is a universe away in terms of “supporting” them from actually funding them.
