That's good to know but I was only commenting on the statements made by the developers on the link provided, which I do take issue with. Why this should lead to any thought that I or others who have a problem with this statement would not "like the … userbase of lemmy.ml", I cannot fathom as it is entirely unnatural to me, although I do see it in some others - particularly amongst those who would make a statement such as that these developers have, ironically. Agreement or disagreement on pretty much any topic is not the basis upon which to judge one's own feelings towards any individual and certainly not a group. That is anathema to me and would find the suggestion inappropriate.
