A lot of people on Lemmy don't like bigots, they don't like crypto, they don't like scammy tracking and they don't like dishonesty. So I'm gonna fling that poo and point it out for as many people as possible, in case they don't know.
A lot of people on lemmy don't care about bigots, crypto, or anything else until something they dislike because it's not en vogue is doing it.
Some dude at Firefox donates $1000 against prop 8? I sleep
Some dude at Brave donates $1000 against prop 8? REAL SHIT
I'm not trying to get into the "everyone is equally bad" thing here, but with projects as large as these if you dig into the history of everyone involved you WILL find some distasteful shit, it's just statistics.
There's a lot of "Brave bad" going around the Fediverse, and people trying to find reasons to support that emotional belief, and stuff like that annoys me.
"some dude" is the CEO. Has the CEO of Mozilla donated money against same-sex marriage? If not, you are the one who is engaging in "poo-flinging".
That's literally why Eich was made to resign as Mozilla CEO: his anti-LGBTQ+ history is poison for one hell of a lot of web engineers.
Internet engineering, as a field, has always been rather queer.
"There is some sort of perverse pleasure in knowing that it's basically impossible to send a piece of hate mail through the Internet without its being touched by a gay program. That's kind of funny." — Eric Allman, author of sendmail
Exactly. The ex-CEO. Emphasis on ex. Mozilla took the right decision, Brave didn't. That is literally why the "both-sides" argument is ridiculous.
Brendan Eich steps down following calls for his ouster over his support for California's anti-gay marriage Proposition 8.
Wow, on the nose. Literally, yes.
Yes, he stepped down as CEO of Mozilla and is now CEO of Brave. I’m not sure if you’re joking or genuinely didn’t notice that they’re the same person.
Yeah but Mozilla isn't tainted by it? Come on, that's ridiculous. He's not building some anti-gay code into the software, the homepage of Brave (or Firefox) isn't "lol fuck the woke".
Dig into any company, or any CEO, you'll find something to get angry about. People are people. Products are products. Open source products especially so.

He's probably done some horrible thing
