Well, as long as you understand the consequences of that choice, that's fine.

I've lost count of how many evil, nazi or literal genocidal companies I have been giving my money to, every month for the past several years.
These include everyday companies with bad goals like Nestlé working to privatise your access to water.

You may dislike the devs of Lemmy, but at least they are offering something great to the world without requiring users to give them money in exchange, or requiring users to agree to the sale of their personal data.

BTW banning users they don't like on their instance, or blocking them is perfectly expected behaviour on the fediverse.
lemmy.ml is not special, no instance is special.
Everyone is free to create or join his favorite nazi, piracy, neoliberal or whatever lemmy instance, and on each instance, the mods are free to act as they please.

If you don't support the Lemmy software because the devs are tankies, that's still fine.
For me personally, it's still worth it to send them 5 bucks in Monero for all the value I get out of this.

Imagine if we had to pay for Reddit 🤣
