I will never, ever, support hostile actors such as Dessalines, and neither should any of you.

They’re supporters of Russia’s war, they’re transphobes, and they’re pro-genocide tankies.

    So they’ve provided you a solution to your problem, but you don’t want to use it to solve your problem, and you’re mad at them because you’re still using the thing you don’t want to use.

    Got it.

      and you’re mad at them because you’re still using the thing you don’t want to use.

      is that genuinely what you think?

      most people who disagree with that banner do so because it makes unknowing people to give money to the main devs, who hold a hostile and deceptive agenda.

      the banner can be easily disabled with a short custom stylesheet. Implementing that shouldn’t be a big burden for small instances, even less so for lemmy.world

        If you’re running a lemmy instance and you don’t think the developers should receive any donations at all, that suggests you think the software you’re running should essentially be discontinued due to a total removal of funding. It seems to me absurd to run a lemmy instance and hold an absolutist position that the devs of said software should never be supported.

        At that point, Lemmy instance owners should just convert to a Piefed or Mbin instance if they were to feel that strongly.

        And users should all just move similarly.

          some are trying to do that, but afaik it’s complicated to do that without data loss.

      So you tolerate the intolerant? You support the supporters of violence, xenophobia, and corruption? To me that appears as insanity, I will speak ill of you forever more.
