Do you know why we don't hear such drama from Chrome developers? Because Google has a PR team. A chunk of the people in the world hold shitty opinions. A similar chunk of developers hold them too. It's just going to happen.

Chrome is also developed by much more than 1 dev, which to me makes the views of a single dev irrelevant. But when 1 person controls the development and access of the community to participate like hyprland for example, then their views, policies towards bigotry, and the way they treat the community becomes much more important imo. Especially when there are no viable forks.

True. Which is why in happy to donate to my Lemmy instance but not to the Lemmy developers.

It could also be entirely bullshit, or unintentional, or whatever.

Yeah, the public opinion court is notoriously lacking on the whole due process thing.

Yes, and the public is also apparently severely undereducated generally speaking
