I actually continued to use a 3rd party app up until a few months ago. I created a Lemmy account when all that happened 2 years ago, but I didn’t use it much. Glad to see it’s been improved, well until recently finding out the creators of Lemmy support Russia.
That’s the beauty of an idea, though. The worst people can have good ideas and good people can benefit from them. In certain cases, they can use the ideas against the creator themselves. I just consider it a fact of life and avoid giving those people my money directly where possible.
Yeah, it’s disappointing to know some of the things the Lemmy devs support but this being a federated platform means you don’t really have to be on Lemmy to interact with the posts and users here. Piefed and Mbin work just as well and are fully independent projects so you could try those instead.
It kind of makes that people with such strong/extreme views would have enough initiative to start it though. We need to remember that Lemmy development was going on for years before most us took notice.
Who cares what they support ? If their code is good, that’s all that should matter. Because that allows you to disagree with them on other instances even though their home instance is heavily moderated.

I was aware since it was mentioned on /r/rust
Who cares? Lemmy is open. There’s already many alternatives that are connected, mbin, piefed, etc.
Edit: I don’t agree with their views, but this platform is now bigger than them, and they designed it to be that way. I have to respect that.
