He receives thousands of dollars in donations to make the software. I’d rathe people start supporting software developers made by non bigots
It's a weird place to draw the line. You probably use all kinds of products with scumbag companies and owners yet you draw the line at a guy's Foss project which has nothing to do with his views and the project barely makes min wage yet serves tens of thousands of people.
You don't need to withdraw your support because you already do nothing to support. Again I think you are creating drama for the sake of drama. The guy is an open Communist and you are shocked that he's transphobic.
Plenty of communists are not transphobic and most of the open communists I know are trans themselves.
I know I was pointing to that to show extreme views I didn't intend to say Communists were transphobic or bad people.
I know a lot of communists are extremely progressive and tbh I thought he was to.
