Holy shit man imagine if we judged every huge project by one asshole at the top. There wouldn't be a single thing to enjoy in this world.
Edit:
I am going to add more perspective to this, because holy shit people are so into eating nothing burgers.
Reddit/Twitter was a database and API that everyone was centralized onto, there was no choice. Brave you can literally fork because its open source. Aside from that this was literally the CEO's personal donation of $1000...in like 2014. Almost 10 yrs ago.
Elon, as CEO and on the X/Twitter brand:
Meanwhile Brendan:
Ok but like that asshole is using his money and power to donate to horrible stuff. Even if we take the stance that you shouldn't let someone's opinion ruin what they make, you're still helping him support his causes financially through using his platform.
Or wow, it's almost like people care about that sort of thing on the platform were most people came from Reddit or twitter because of the awful actions of their respective CEOs or something
