I don't think I'd view them as a problem here. They need to triage the issues and they're going to focus their efforts on things they see as a bigger benefit. They haven't indicated that they would deny code contributions to add this feature.
We'll have to see, but by my past experiences with Tankies and other authoritarians, I don't expect reasonable behavior.
They have shown a history of being open to contributions to Lemmy separate from their extreme political opinions. But you need to choose how you spend your efforts, I understand not wanting to risk having your effort essentially wasted by having your contributions denied.
Personally, I wouldn't contribute to a project controlled by authoritarians - But I also understand why others would.
The reason I wanted to block the instance to begin with is mostly so I can use Lemmy without feeling compelled to focus on these issues.
Well I mean the problem is we are using it, so we need to fork it or not if we are going that route. But making a contribution and having it denied is the first step to a fork.
Good thought, thanks.
