    I mean, you can grandstand all you want while you have no platforms to safely do it on. Pretty sure having working products for privacy is more important to activism than one guy being an asshole.

        Yeah that’s rarely the only trait someone has that I find objectionable. Homophobia tends to come in a cluster with other shithead opinions

        I’m…honestly surprised you can be on lemmy when you damn products over singular people. Just cause I know there’s people who have tried to dissuade others from lemmy over the developers. And in that case the people involved are even closer to the code than a CEO would be.

          If someone gets fired for being a piece of shit and then hired somewhere else it’s pretty fair to assume that company isn’t great. As they presumably knew that when they hired him and didn’t care.

          It’s also the person running the company not some random employee.

            Okay

            But in this entire discussion we haven’t even tied him or his homophobia to the feature change this article is discussing.

        🤔 look, I’m not defending bigotry….

        But an aggressive homophobe seems like the type to be highly motivated to care deeply about working privacy tools these days

        So who exactly do you trust?
