Totally agree. Why make someone richer who you ethically don't align to. It just makes their agenda easier.
That’s why we’re all here instead of adding to Spez’s IPO.
Right, because it was totally his views in general, not just lack of API access...
Edit: Sorry guys, you're right, the surge of Lemmy users that correspond to the hour of API access loss was DEFINITELY just coincidental.
Tbh it was a bit of both for me. The API access was one thing, but the response to the backlash was revealing towards his views. The protest against the API access was focused on business, the backlash to Spez's actions in response was focused on him.
