I feel like almost every single piece of software has some problematic dev that has racism, transphobia, or both. I recently read a post about the calc key devs and sighed *facepalm. It is honestly really annoying cause I want friends to use Fedi but than you can pull up a whole laundry list of problems with the devs and it’s like (welp, signing up for threads). I feel like people care a ton when it’s the small instance, vs a megacorp. Like Meta has a horrible issue with transphobia and racism but it only seems to matter if it’s a smaller project for some reason

    I absolutely disagree about all fediverse devs being problematic. @ernest is the dev of KBin, and everything I’ve seen of or about him shows he’s a good person and a gem.

    Also, there’s a vast difference between being a bit of an asshole sometimes, depending on your point of view (like Linus Torvalds), and trying to justify genocide (lemmy devs).
