What doesn’t seem clear-cut? My only point here was that using Lemmy does not directly fund the creator of it.

You support one thing who’s creator has questionable views but not the other. The main difference seems to be that you like one and not the other.

You’re making assumptions about me. I use Piefed, not Lemmy. I also do not believe that this situation is enough for me to not support Framework. All I’m saying here is that supporting Framework is for the most part direct financial support, while one can easily support the Lemmy as a whole, without providing financial support to the creator with questionable views.

I don’t care to debate about whether this makes supporting Lemmy better or worse than supporting Framework. I only on what I feel is an oversight in the comparison made by the comment I originally replied to.

Thats a valid point, but I still feel its a less direct form of support, which was my point. I dont feel that it is the same as directly financially supporting a project you morally disagree with.

But not required. If I do not morally support the developer I can instead choose to financially support individual instances, or other projects like Piefed or mbin.

My point here is that comparing this situation to using Lemmy is a bad comparison. Supporting Framework is pretty much exclusively via financial support, the same is not true for Lemmy.

Using Lemmy isn’t giving that tankie money.
