You, I like you.

you mad lad lol

Would I not pay my roofer if they were a Rump supporter?

I wouldn’t hire them to begin with.

are you really in the piracy comm, telling people they should pay for free software by using healthcare, which should also be free, as an example?

The acceptance of medical care is not an equivalent situation to using free software in terms of ideological concerns. That's conflating a social media platform with being as necessary as medical treatment. Even the roofing situation wouldn't fit as the work is complete and they can't exactly undone that work without destroying part of your existing house now and they certainly aren't based on optional donation are they? I mean I assume you contracted to have them do that work, right? So that wouldn't be a valid comparison to make either. Is Lemmy equally as important as blood poisoning or having a home to you?

The other glaring issue you didn't consider is agent vs. artifact. In neither case is the actual person performing the service (roofer or doctor) the one being criticized for holding the tankie views. By that logic, you wouldn't be able to interact with anyone who is apathetic about an issue/belief/etc you are not. A working example of that would you you posting to a forum post by the OP who has different views. You shouldn't be interacting with him if you actually believed what you wrote.

One of the main devs has previously admitted that a lot of that money just goes to server costs for .ml. Fuck that shit.

It is a decentralized open source communication protocol offered for the public's use, which means people can modify their instances and generally do, say, or think anything they want in regards to the original founders of the project.
