The Lemmy instance that I host also has this pop up because it's built into Lemmy. Am I a bad guy too?

How is that comment you linked to "the admins intentionally supporting the tankie views of the developers"?

This is not a lemmy.world issue. All Lemmy instances do this, assuming they're running up-to-date builds. The devs added it to the Lemmy code base earlier this year:
https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/5318

If you don't like it, then move to a PieFed or mbin instance. Then you have access to all the same content without any connection to dessalines or nutomic.

Uhm yeah no.

That popup is built into Lemmy. It pops up about every year or so. And iirc you should also be able to disable it permanently.

edit: nope, you can't disable it. they removed the option

Yeah, not a big fan of tankies and personally would have never considered donating. Pretty sure I blocked that popup with ublock.

That was until I saw your self-righteous little crusade ...

So thanks for supporting lemmy!

Somehow Lemmy isn't as defederated as i thought?
