    I mean. They’re torpedoing that open source project’s chances for growth because of their ideology. It’s pretty sucky.

    I agree with the rest of your statement regarding the development of Lemmy.

      Yeah, for sure. Doing something great doesn’t shield you from also making some really shitty decisions or holding some god-awful positions.

      I just think it’s good to keep a nuance of language. Too many open source developers burn out, and a hostile community is listed as one of the reasons too often. There will always be disagreements, and there are valid ways of voicing it, but one should never forget that there is humans on the other side and remain kind. :)
