i use kbin, but not really because of the lemmy dev’s views, rather that I find it more polished.
I honestly don’t care about the developers opinions as long as they’re mentally sane, they can have whatever views they want, i use their software, and thats all. The same applies to linux, for reference, richard stallman has some extremely messed up views i do not agree with, however i dont take that into consideration when using gnu/linux. His software: gnu is incredible, and that’s all that matters. Not his views.
The only threat i can think of, of the lemmy dev’s views is potential censorship on the official instance (though i don’t believe he’s done this yet), which doesn’t really matter either, since there’s many other instances.
It is nice that ernest is a great guy, unlike the lemmy dev, but thats not why i chose to use kbin.
I’m using brave search, and am very satisfied with it overall.
