Regarding 5., I mean, you pointed out your way around that yourself. Create your account elsewhere. Lemmy is FOSS. If the devs do act shitty, one can fork their stuff and everyone can put it on their instances anyway.

While I don't want to defend them, because I did not investigate it further, I do have to say that I didn't see anything weird on their profiles. Moreover, I totally get that they don't really want to moderate their instances more than they absolutely have to. As in "if it's not illegal, I don't care."

It creates a shitton of work and moral dilemmas, plus you have do deal with bad shit every single day.

Is there something wrong with choosing to avoid someone's software because the developers are tankies, in your opinion?

I agree with you here.

As a "product" I like how Lemmy works and would like to continue using it. That doesn't mean I support or defend the devs. A "hate the artist, not the art" situation I'm still wrestling with, personally.

I would hope, in the event this whole debacle starts to impact the development and features of Lemmy, that my home instance will move to a fork. If not, I can delete the account and move to kbin.
