Bruh everything is funded by some sort of criminal. Jeffery Epstein could have donated to the Mozilla foundation for all we know. You literally cannot tell.
That's a very convenient position that absolves you from any responsibility to do anything. Convenient, but I don't think correct.
As u/TBi said in the comments
I'm not sure that's right. It's not like they're giving money to brave. The library itself isn't tainted, and using it doesn't benefit brave or the CEO.
Further, simply supporting a thing doesn't make that thing a moral proxy for the supporter. That path leads to an infinite regress of bad moral choices with nothing being moral.
Lemmy is licensed under the AGPL which was created at the Free Software Foundation which was started by Richard Stallman who made controversial comments about Jeffrey Epstein in 2019. Don't breath or you might inhale an atom once exhaled by Adolf Hitler.
