The software is distinct from the opinions of the developer in my opinion… I mean I’m not a communist however I enjoyed playing Tetris…
The whole point is that it’s federated too. The devs haven’t really been ardent about much to do with the software except “we’re not getting rid of the hard coded slur filter cause we really don’t want to see the open fascists who would care about that using it”. I don’t fully agree or disagree with that, but they don’t really have much else to say about the community at large. Des has repeatedly stated that he wants to have a healthy amount of “mainstream”/“liberal” instances that he has nothing to do with the content of.
I didn’t even know there was a hard coded slur filter lol
It’s been modifiable by instance admins for a while now, although I doubt most of them have any reason to do so. It mostly is just an n-word filter.
FediTips itself supports repressions against Muslim minorities in China by that logic, because they most likely use a lot of commodities that were made in PRC
I would take them more seriously if they actually provided information/evidence of their claims.
Ah yes, Fedi Tips AKA tips for Mastodon AND the Fediverse
Remember when someone started a parody account and fedi-tips lost their shit?
I remember the parody account but never saw the reaction, could you give me a link?
