It should become a platform coop where the users can become members and have a say in how it is governed.

What is the fragile coalition for if the issues she used to stand for are getting walked all over?

That's a principled choice. But the fact that you loved that music means that you understand it was good music even though you have made a conscious decision not to listen to it anymore. I dislike and try to avoid Microsoft products but I understand many things they produce are world class. My point is the argument that you should not use something because of the personal beliefs of someone is foolish. OTOH if Brendan Eich went to a protest or implemented an anti gay policy at Brave, it would be justified to boycott.

You're moving the goalposts here. We're talking about using an open source browser or not because of the founder's personal religious views, not whether they are Hitler or Trump.

Yes mob, suggest looking up what it means in this context. And yes, cancel culture is a really really dangerous development in western civilization that threatens our ability to survive because it's focus is on distracting from class consciousness. Not sure why you're defending it if you're a socialist.

Do you judge a bridgemaker for his baking? Why is it OK for multinationals to not pay a living wage but we should attack a small business owner for not wanting to wax a pre-op trans woman's asshole and dick? This seems like an insane question but these are the boundaries the media have created. You're in BC I'm sure you remember that person.

It's OK if you don't understand marketing theory and have a myopic view of the world. Please be more verbose lmaaaaoooo

Thanks for contributing to the discussion with something valuable. Does trying to insult someone because you have nothing valuable to say make you feel like a better human? Curious what you got out of your comment.. it just makes me think you're a tool.

Apparently it's acceptable to use anecdotal evidence to support one's argent here (based on other retorts on this thread), so I will refute your point by saying that I do think of Brendan Eich when I think of JavaScript in the same way I think of Guido for Python and Linus for linux.

Your final point is a fair point to this argument.

Considering he's the founder and owner you're probably right about that.
