    Right we shouldn’t use brave because CEO donated $1000 to some law author doesn’t like. Maybe we should leave lemmy too because creators believe in things most other people don’t like. These kind of morality plays are stupid, who knows what every devs and ceo of company actually think and do with their money and honestly if it’s legal who cares.

      “some law”

      Imagine believing supporting a law that removes the right for same sex couples to marry is on the same level as believing communism isn’t that terrible

        Imagine believing some American law is equal to genocide of minorities and students protesting for democracy. At least lemmy is open source otherwise I think it wouldn’t have gotten as far as it has.

          One is a law that actually affects real people. One is a belief. What is hard to understand?!? These aren’t remotely the same thing.

          If someone threatened to murder your family vs someone who paid someone to murder your family — which person is worse?

            One is a belief that has killed a ton of people? Go to lemmy.ml and say something about the genocide in China and see what happens. I don’t really get it, do you also check every person working on all the software you use to make sure they subscribes to the same ideals as you? How do you know they aren’t doing something worse with their money. Isn’t seeking universal healthcare or stopping billionaires from fucking you something more worthwhile to put your energy into? Where do you draw the line exactly because I’m confused.

              You keep moving the goal posts.

              If you can’t see the difference between someone’s random opinion on the internet and someone paying actual money to oppress actual people - I don’t think we have much common ground to have a reasonable discussion.

                I feel the same way about you ignoring the whole genocide topic. I guess we agree to disagree but fuck people who can’t respect other peoples rights in general.

      I mean, support a homophobic asshole if you want? This blog post isn’t lying. If you’re ok with making excuses for that or even accepting it, then that’s your choice.

        I don’t? I don’t use Brave. Kinda bad rhetoric on your part. That’s like me saying, “support a genocidal regime if you want, guess you hate minorities.”

          Not at all! You’re literally making excuses for a homophobic asshole. With a not-difficult-to-find public history of it. And then complaining about people suggesting to not support him. I don’t think I’m the one struggling with rhetoric in this comment section…

            I’m literally talking to a intellectually dishonest lemmy.ml user that cannot be engaged at any reasonable level. Goodbye.
