Quoting the author

I’ve starting working on a lemmy front end called lemmy-ui-leptos using leptos, a Rust UI framework with isomorphic support, and tailwind + daisyUI for the component styling. This could eventually replace the frankenstein’s monster that lemmy-ui has become.

The Lemmy developers can do good things and increase net wellbeing while being complete morons. There is nothing in Lemmy's license that says that by using their software you need to support their ideologies.

The Christian teaching of "hate the sin, love the sinner" is the best approach here. Showing support for what the lemmy devs are doing while showing how despicable are their beliefs and stating where are your differences will always work better than trying to boycott their (non-stupid-belief-related) work.

The problem is giving their project support also gives them a bigger platform and more influence which could lead to more people being exposed to their beliefs or them having a bigger impact

No, one does not follow from the other, especially for open source projects. Quite the opposite: for the project to grow, it will need to attract more people. To attract more people, they will need to dial down their extremist positions. If they don't they will end up having their project forked.

Also,

being exposed to their beliefs

Great. Let more people be exposed to their beliefs so that they can learn how stupid they are.

Why are you posting on lemmy if you don't think we should support lemmy?

Eh I called them out on it, but I'd rather they be used to continue developing the code base, which can be forked if necessary. People should be smart enough to evaluate their beliefs, and if not well.. something would have gotten them eventually.
