I read an old thread documenting the opinions of Lemmy maintainers an the .ml instance. The issue of funding a project with people openly expressing opinions many find distasteful and it being the biggest reddit alternative on the fediverse came up, so here's a topic to discuss it.

What should we do? What are the options?

Answer: No fork necessary, there are Piefed and Mbin.

We already have Piefed and Mbin.

OK, thanks. I guess I'll be migrating to those and setting up a donation - if they don't use Github sponsors.

Also the piefed main dev is nice normal human being with humanist views of the world. He has a rational discourse toolkit box with links about how to handle extremism, disinformation and stuff like that.

Piefed would be much better aligned with your views.
