Are you being purposely obtuse, bud?
Let’s go to extremes… If actual Hitler worked on a project should we all just use that project even though Hitler made it?
The choice might not always be obvious. What if the project improves the society or saves human lives? In such case we might decide it’s better to support the project, but make it clear that we don’t support his other activities.
Comparing Brendan eichtoo Hitler doesn’t seem logically coherent but let’s just use your fringe example. We do actually continue to use shit invented by Hitler all over the world to this day. Volkswagen to give an example. Lemmy is made by tankies. So… The answer is that so long as the thing is sufficiently useful. Yes.
I don’t use VW or brave. That’s my point. It’s easy to wave away suffering if you benefit from that suffering.

It’s called Volkswagen, one of the biggest car manufacturers in the world.
Touché. However the VW of today is vastly far-removed from VW during WW2.
In fact the only reason VW exists post WW2 is because of a British army captain who wanted to get the factory up and running and build some cars. He thought the design of the beetle was inexpensive, practical, and cool.
(Interesting sidenote, the designs of the Beetle were offered to British carmakers, who rejected it, stating that nobody would want a car so cheap and devoid of luxury. The Beetle went on to be the most popular car in the world.)
Continuing the analogy, VW is more like a fork of the original VW project started by the Nazi party.
Why would you come to a place just to bitch about it? If you don’t like it here then fuuuck off. Go to ExplodingHeads or Rammy or even right the fuck back to Reddit. No one made you come here, vote with your feet. Or if you won’t do those things, then I beg you to take just a little less effort here and not post.
I swear to God, some of you fuckers are the kind of dudes that rock up to a lesbian bar, get kicked out for hitting on women at the lesbian bar, and then start pissing and moaning about how “no one is allowed to be real man anymore hurk durk durk durk” and calling the bouncers woketards.
Same reason people who boycott chic a filet over LGBT issues, it has nothing to do with the quality of their product it’s about not supporting someone who’s views and opinions are that only some people deserve equality.
Voting with your wallet is more effective than simply vocalizing disagreement while still supporting their product.
The codebase is irrelevant, I’ve already rated it, it’s another blink clone. As a product, on the other hand, you should definitely practice responsible consumerism. Aligning your values with your consumption is a good thing.
Totally agree. Why make someone richer who you ethically don’t align to. It just makes their agenda easier.
