Dang, I was not aware of any of this. A quick search pulls up a bunch of stuff. I’ll look more into it for sure, but come on, can’t we just have nice things?
I think there is a difference between having strong views and enforcing them on others, but also context is important.Also not all extreme views are equally harmful/harmless.
I’ve also heard the Lemmy dev has some bad takes (to perhaps put it mildly) but i’ve found the community to be mostly quite civil
That’s a fair point. I’ve moved away from lemmy instances for this reason, but if piefed didn’t exist I’d reluctantly use another lemmy instance, but not lemmy.ml and won’t participate there.

Yeah me too. Didn’t know. Frustrated. I was hopeful that ladybird was going to save us.
In fairness, the lemmy lead dev also has some… very strongly held ideological views incompatible with my own… yet here we are.
