+1 from me. People are so happy to boycott projects that are presenting different political views while they don’t bat an eye when other projects they back up are similarly political but on the other side of the spectrum.

I agree it’d be best to have apolitical tech initiatives but since people won’t be able to have their beliefs to themselves then we just have to agree everyone has the right to have their political opinion tied to the projects that they develop. Sad, but at least honest.

IMO Heroic devs are doing great and we don’t actually need official Epic that much.

I’m sure liberals would pass on the opportunity to have more power and control and would totally thrash the whole thing.

/s, but should be obvious

Problem is: non-ethical projects tend to pay more or take advantage of the situation. I know what I mean: when one of my projects fell apart recently I was approached by a “Battlefield Management App” which I could develop, of course for “the good guys”™.

I chose unemployment because that’s not the world I want to develop, but I can totally imagine that in a more dire circumstances (I’m in debt with family to take care of or it’s war and I’m running out of money fast) my choice could’ve been different.

Still, ethics would be good, even if it wouldn’t magically save the world 💪🏻

Go with whatever you want to go, my friend! People are mad because of the politics rather than the software itself (not going to lie, THERE ARE questionable software choices, but it doesn’t change the fact that most people didn’t even check it)
