"that asshole" has been working below minimum wage, one unexpected financial burden away from homelessness, for the last four years to bring you Lemmy for free

What I'm saying is even if you disagree with his views, on the things that actually impact you, he's been a great positive in your life

Dessalines, right? I happen upon a lot of his Github issue threads on libraries that i use, which i think is interesting when i recognize the account. He seems normal there.

Other than that, looking at his Lemmy profile, it seems he gets into a lot of political arguments on subjects that i don't know much about - i can't tell if he's unjustly hateful towards any group. I have heard he bans people a lot over these disagreements, which isn't cool so i think your sentiment is fair.

Currently my only issue with .ml is the profanity filter but i don't know anything about the other instances either. I imagine this conversation has been had a lot already but if i'm on Lemmy either way, what's the difference in terms of support? If he's a dick, i'd probably rather just switch to Kbin or PieFed
