I read an old thread documenting the opinions of Lemmy maintainers an the .ml instance. The issue of funding a project with people openly expressing opinions many find distasteful and it being the biggest reddit alternative on the fediverse came up, so here's a topic to discuss it.

What should we do? What are the options?

Answer: No fork necessary, there are Piefed and Mbin.

I write opensource software, I donate to opensource, I use opensource. I however can't do everything. That is why the question is "we" not "hey @gerowen@piefed.social why don't you make a fork, you lazy bastard". Code is not the only way to contribute to a project and I'm willing to donate to lemmy alternatives while it is still possible for me.

Piefed might be where I start donating. Gotta check it out first.
