The should get a piefed community so they don't have to support and promote anti-trans, pro-war, and pro-genocide lemmy developers.
Using someone's open-source software doesn't mean you support them (unless you donate or something)
they recommend people to donate to lemmy devs in the reddit post, though.
I am not blaming them, they probably didn't know it, but it's worth mentioning.
Hi! You are right, I did not know. We 100% support all LGTBQ+ members of our communities, and I will be looking into the lemmy donation link.
You should look into these accusations first to have a fully formed decision. Sentiment on Lemmy is super pro LGBTQ+.

Nutomic transphobia is included with the post showing his original comments claiming the trans topic is "a wedge issue" that is "promoted by the bourgeoisie", he did actually admit to saying them as shown here: https://lemmy.world/post/29222558

Right I remember. That whole drama is what got him banned from Hexbear.
thanks! also, I think as things are now, it's fine to keep using lemmy for your server. but keep in mind that in the future they could implement features that are not for the benefit of your community. anything can be reverted with some custom development, but you may not want that.
there are some lemmy instances that are planning a switch to piefed, with a database migration so that existing content and users are kept. the one I use is among them.
updates to lemmy can make such a migration harder in the future, even unintentionally.
