Quoting the author

I’ve starting working on a lemmy front end called lemmy-ui-leptos using leptos, a Rust UI framework with isomorphic support, and tailwind + daisyUI for the component styling. This could eventually replace the frankenstein’s monster that lemmy-ui has become.

        I mean they kinda are, they run one of the biggest instances which of course will get a lot of attention because it’s run by the developers.

        On that instance they censor criticism of china and other such topics.

        There was also the weird case of the hardcoded slur filter

      Imagine if we did this for large companies owned by billionaires. Why is nobody talking about a board of director (Thiel) from Meta literally being one of the top donors for the republicans, supporting many of those congressional candidates that claimed there was voter fraud going on in 2020.

      Perhaps we should flock back to Reddit instead, partly owned by a Chinese company. Who also support Russia and deny human rights violations.

      Or why not head over to Twitter owned by the worlds richest man using it as is very own playground, supporting Trump and DeSantis, censoring Turkish dissidents and journalists writing about him in negative light.

        We all think Meta is shit.

        People complain about tencent all the time.

        We also all think twitter is shit.

      Ive removed this comment due to being unrelated to the actual topic of the post which is the new lemmy frontend. Reminder to keep talks here about rust rather than politics. Theres a ton of other communities for that and the lemmy dev politics have already been discussed heavily

        It’s always relevant when the dev of what is being discussed denies human rights violations by authoritarian governments, why is that something you want to hide?

      The Lemmy developers can do good things and increase net wellbeing while being complete morons. There is nothing in Lemmy’s license that says that by using their software you need to support their ideologies.

      The Christian teaching of “hate the sin, love the sinner” is the best approach here. Showing support for what the lemmy devs are doing while showing how despicable are their beliefs and stating where are your differences will always work better than trying to boycott their (non-stupid-belief-related) work.

        The problem is giving their project support also gives them a bigger platform and more influence which could lead to more people being exposed to their beliefs or them having a bigger impact

          No, one does not follow from the other, especially for open source projects. Quite the opposite: for the project to grow, it will need to attract more people. To attract more people, they will need to dial down their extremist positions. If they don’t they will end up having their project forked.

          Also,

          being exposed to their beliefs

          Great. Let more people be exposed to their beliefs so that they can learn how stupid they are.
