It’s understandable to get offended at this, but really it could be a lot worse. Also probably we should separate the project from the developer, because with this logic, we shouldn’t even be using Lemmy, since the main devs are controversial to some people.
AFAIK the devs are supporting communist ideologies, especially maoism and they like the USSR’s demolition of independence revolutions like the hungarian 1956 and the checzh 1968 uprising.
They also made a controversial statement about the Uyghur genocide too. I’m not sure about the specifics tho.
