      I don’t see any reason to care about that as long as they aren’t forcing their opinions on anyone tbh.

        This. Unless your use/purchase directly supports something you disagree with, people shouldn’t be worried so much. Companies and organizations are huge. They are all going to contain shitty people.

        If you are on the internet, you have no choice but to indirectly supporting shitty people.

        If you are worried about that do actual politics, not this ‘you eat ChikFilA you monster’ type shit.0

          Yup. And they literally gave us the tools to take our toys and go home to make our own fun if we don’t like the way they run Lemmy.ml.

      Oh I know all about that. It’s one of the reasons I enjoy clowning on tankies on lemmy.ml so hard.

      Fun fact: the .ml TLD is officially designated as belonging to Mali; the lemmy devs chose it as an acronym for “Marxist-Leninist”. This caused problems very recently when Mali suddenly re-exerted control of their TLD, where previously they did not take an active hand in its management.

      I’ll copy the top comment there, because it’s actually kind of important if you’re at all into web infra or self-hosting:

      Using ccTLDs when you have no relationship with the country is just asking for trouble. Comes across as naive and unprofessional, although I’ve seen many serious infrastructure built upon .co and .io names.

      I don’t see why I should care, as long as their not assholes, not breaking their own rules, and not abusing their powers as devs.
