Would you trust an open source software maintained by a developer who you disagree with politically (or otherwise don't like the developer)? (sh.itjust.works)

"Trust" as in: trust it enough to run it on your machine.

I'm pretty sure we'll disagree politically on many issues but I don't want you or anyone like you dead. I hope people in the US will stop viewing politics as cults and start to communicate with people disagreeing with them.

    Do you support trans rights? Do you support immigration? Do you support the demilitarization of police and complete restructuring of the current US "justice" system? Do you know why credit scores exist? Do you support using taxes to provide for our most vulnerable? Do you know what diversity, equity, and inclusion are?

    If you said no to any of those, then I doubt we share common ground

    I doubt many people outside the US have any clue about whether the US justice system needs to be restructured, so there goes ~95% of the global population.

    Excluding people from discussions because they don't agree with 'one' point is setting yourself up for failure.
    You aren't winning anyone over with an all-or-nothing attitude, you're cutting off many potential allies.
