I read an old thread documenting the opinions of Lemmy maintainers an the .ml instance. The issue of funding a project with people openly expressing opinions many find distasteful and it being the biggest reddit alternative on the fediverse came up, so here's a topic to discuss it.

What should we do? What are the options?

Answer: No fork necessary, there are Piefed and Mbin.

I am not american and frankly find American style polemics quite hard to understand. Mind me I have quite a few american good friends, and I lived in the USA for a few years too, nothing against USA itself.

But yes Tolerance is at the base of civil life and that's true even with intolerant people.

I find generic phrases such as "tolerance is at the base of civil life" to be unconvincing, especially when parroted in such an aggressively self-aggrandizing manner. You might as well say something along the line of "An apple a day keeps the doctor way".

You either don't have much life experience (and lack intellectual curiosity) or you're just grandstanding online.
