you know, it’s really funny that every time someone goes “I don’t care about <XYZ>'s open political opinions, only that they keep doing/making the thing I want” they invariably end up being some kind of right-winger

Also not all people share your political opinions.
how are you going to call “this group shouldn’t have the rights that everyone else has” something as quaint as a “political opinion”
you know that this “I don’t care that this person holds bigoted beliefs and thinks that some people shouldn’t have rights, they make the good computer program so who cares” attitude is why so many people think that tech guys are reactionary, right?
but that’s not immediate and requires some work and effort (to figure out how federation works, to figure out how Lemmy works, to learn how to create an instance and to make one, to start over with an entirely new community); many on Reddit want the easiest path to get their content
which again, understandable, but still annoying to see
a lot of people back on Reddit could not give less of a shit about the issues and just want their content; they even see this as just mods powertripping again
it’s kind of annoying to see that, tbh, even if I sort of get it

Oh, cool; more reason to use Piped and Invidious lmao
Though, take care to factcheck what you get from it; all it really is is just a word predictor, and it can be pretty good at confidently telling you absolute nonsense that sounds right
by who, though? Itself?
disagree on “the concept of police is good”
like I see what you think the police ideally should do, but the police never were about that, and you don’t need police (as in, the institution) to have that
communism is when…
people use adblockers, apparently
