I don’t use Brave because they screwed me (banned my Brave Creators without them providing a reason) and I think I would disagree with their CEO on many points - including same sex marriage - but if I did this with every piece of software I use, then I wouldn’t be able to use a computer at all. Even if you go all open source, you’ll quickly find wild and weird people involved with these projects…
Firefox? I use it, but it’s a big org, one that Brave’s CEO even helped to create. If we dig enough and we’ll find dirt on people. And just one or two months ago, they displayed full window ads on Firefox.
My point is that if we do this with everyone or every project, then we’ll run out of software that is acceptable to use. If I’m using anything related with GNU, then I have to stop because of Richard Stallman’s controversies. Linux? Are they all nice people? I doubt it.
I’m not saying that people should use Brave - I certainly don’t use it - it’s just that if we have high bars for every piece of software we use, we’d run out of software to use (at least I would).
Prop 8 and peter tiel are far beyond “wild and weird”. You need to see some gray, there’s nuance you’re either missing or choosing to ignore and there isn’t the clear equivalence you suggest.

Definitely, but when there’s a good alternative it’s simple to move

This is very true and as matter in fact, the creators of Lemmy are communists.
