This is the part that I think will make it more difficult, since I imagine there are quite a few devs that would rather contribute to projects by less politically-outspoken project owners.
(I would also note that they don't deny being tankies, and tankies tend to insist they aren't fascists. They also deny the Uyghur genocide so they have that going for them too.)
This exactly. I'm a software engineer and I'm itching to contribute to one of these systems, but I do not agree with some of the stuff I've seen posted by one of the developers of Lemmy. It just leaves a sour taste in my mouth about the whole thing.
Same here, despite the fact that Lemmy is built on Rust and React which I find far more technically interesting, I’ve decided to help out on Kbin, which is fullstack PHP.
I've at least heard people defending PHP recently. Supposedly it's, uh, better than before.
That said if there was a community fork of Lemmy that people started organizing around I wouldn't mind seeing if there was something I could help with.
