    I can thank them for their development efforts, but not on how they run their instance.

      ‘I would like to enjoy the benefits of collective efforts without supporting the political ideology that makes it possible in the first place.’

        Are you sure it’s possible because of toxic ideology, or despite it? I may want to see the math on that.

          You can’t think why people interested in collective benefit and free dissemination of tools, while rejecting free markets and the profit motive, might have some meaningful overlap with believing in socialism?

            There are endless positive but fundamentally dysfunctional ideologies. Anything which doesn’t address how large populations behave is dysfunctional.

              That’s why a system like China’s is the only sensible one for a large country in the present world order - leaving important things up to unregulated markets and media is an abdication of responsibility.

          There are any number of capitalist platforms. Yet here you are on one developed under communist principles. And still too indoctrinated to work out the connection.

          The toxicity of the ideology vs the toxicity of users describing or supporting an ideology.

          It’s like asking if NASA went to the moon because of the NKVD or despite the NKVD.

        This can be done under right wing libertarianism as well. Or general green people. Idk.
