@feditips This strikes me as a pretty poor reason to tell people not to use it to be honest.

I don't agree with the devs on this either, but that doesn't seem like a good enough reason to disregard Lemmy in its entirety. Instances can and sometimes do choose not to federate with these instances (especially the main instance that platforms these views in lemmygrad), and the main instance seems increasingly neutral.

Maybe it's because my politics aren't shared by many, but I don't see this as sufficient reason not to use certain software. Ultimately Lemmy is what people make of it and I think having people with different views using it and having their own instances will be a good thing for it.
