Because the developers are the faces of Lemmy. How can you expect the fediverse to grow when its creators are hateful people who deny genocides and even encourage it (regarding the Holodomor).
We aren’t reddit and all that matter is their github code contributions that allow us and you to shit on them freely for their stupid opinions. If there is ever a problem with their political views interfering with the projects then we can just fork it.
Why does it matter

Do you have a source for them encouraging genocide? That’s a pretty serious accusation to just throw out without citation.
Yes, you can check Dessaline’s github page on the holodomor, where his sources encouraged the holodomor.

Exactly. I don’t care about their personal beliefs. I care about what their software will enable, the improvement of the fediverse and it’s uptake.
Would you argue the same if they were a different breed of violent extremist? Say Neo-Nazi as an example (not that they are, merely an example)
