jointhefediverse.net seems to be a commonly linked resource for directing people to join the Fediverse.

Curiously, it does not list Lemmy under the list of Reddit alternatives. Their GitHub README explains why.

Could you, like, maybe post the explanation we're supposed to be discussing for context instead of making us go search for it?

The reasoning they give is ludicrous. That's idiotic as saying because someone put up a pedophile website, Apache is the devil. Even if Apache were built by NAMBLA, if it's opensource and doesn't randomly insert pictures of naked kids into your website, how does the developer matter to the product?

This is so stupid. Did everyone stop using ballpoint pens because the inventor was a nazi? No.

"I'm gonna stop using GNU/Linux because I don't like Richard Stallman"

It's valid to dislike the devs (I disagree, I've found them nothing but courteous, and have read their posts with interest), but it's ridiculous to exclude their software from this list.

Hmmmm, could it be the totalitarian-fellating developers? 🤔
