I feel like almost every single piece of software has some problematic dev that has racism, transphobia, or both. I recently read a post about the calc key devs and sighed *facepalm. It is honestly really annoying cause I want friends to use Fedi but than you can pull up a whole laundry list of problems with the devs and it's like (welp, signing up for threads). I feel like people care a ton when it's the small instance, vs a megacorp. Like Meta has a horrible issue with transphobia and racism but it only seems to matter if it's a smaller project for some reason

Doesn't seem to be much there to be honest

And, as they say in that thread, FireFish has been forked to IceShrimp. That's the beauty of FOSS, if someone is really problematic and it's harming the project then it can just be forked and anyone causing issues is cut loose.

Unfortunate.

I'll stick with the software for now but defederate.
