I’m gonna use this thread to highlight the hypocrisy of some people calling out the devs.

When you buy food or goods do you first inform yourself on the political views of the executives of the company you are buying from? When buying hardware to connect to lemmy and call out tankies do you make sure to avoid chinese parts and manufacturers?

If lemmy devs were to be affiliated with the german or american government would you have the same complaints against them?

He donates as a form of investment to avoid paying taxes and to clean his image.

Edit: Just read that Nutomic response on db0, no more donations.

Link?

Even on lemmy his marketing pr is successful

There are books on him exposing how half of his charities are frauds. Given his past records humanity should be wary of putting this man anywhere near anything drinkable or useful

Don’t advertise scum. This guys is trying to literally spend 99% of his fortune to wipe off all the shit he has done.

Do we know on which side he’s on?

Yes he’s part of a homophobic, misogynist and authoritarian cult
