Great comment on there links two code comment threads I found significant and interesting.
While it was primarily about ethics, it should also be noted that the code was described as being "impressively wrong", as well as not actually compiling. I mean, it basically checked if a theme was dark by if it had the word "dark" in the name - which is not a good heuristic - when better ways of doing it exist.
One of the two associations is in power and actively dismantling society. The other develops a technical product and runs a Lemmy instance many people and other instances have blocked.
Handling or concluding them a bit differently seems quite fine to me.
That being said, I've seen plenty of Lemmy dev connection criticism on this platform. I can't say the same about FUTO.
