Brave spokesperson promoting far-right anti-LGBTQ+ extremist (lemmy.world)

@gnukeith on X, a @Brave + $BAT Ambassador specifically chosen by Brave is now promoting far-right extremists on X.

Brave CEO, Brendan Eich, was previously ousted from his role as CEO of Mozilla, after it was found that he had donated to Prop 8, a campaign in California aimed at banning gay marriage. Despite Brendan Eich claiming at the time that he regrets his decision, he has since made multiple social media posts defending his anti-gay position.

At some point people must decide whether they wish to ditch the Fox, as Brave started advertising to users searching up Firefox on the Google Play Store, or if they want to ditch the anti-LGBTQ+ browser.

So that means I still won't use Brave, got it. Except now because I'm boycotting it, not because Chrome sucks.

Nazi upset people are leaving a Nazi platform.

Nobody is obligated to listen to your bullshit.

Ah yes, Mr."Linux Sucks" Bryan Lunduke

AKA the Asmongold of Linux content-creators

[–] MJKee9@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Is that John Hodgman?

[–] Vytle@lemmy.world 54 points 1 day ago

Mfw not supporting a Neo-Nazi is woke.

Flying cars; they said.

Debian stays winning

Mad respect to them.

Fucken props to Team Debian. As rock solid as their own OS.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 102 points 1 day ago

Debian's diversity statement has been published since 2012. This guy can fuck off.

He doesn't regret his actions or beliefs. He regrets being found out and getting fired.

Of course it's the anime pb

[–] blackjam_alex@lemmy.world 76 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'm starting to associate the word "woke" with conservatives rather than "woke" people.

It's like they only know one word. They're Pokémon.

[–] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It’s like they only know one word.

I've noticed that too.

It's like they've got only one go-to insult and then it just vanishes and there's a new one. Like it was cuck just a few years back, soyboy before that... and probably way more that I'm forgetting. But it seems like they go from "I must use in every post!" to it being almost forgotten and instead they must use a new putdown is in every post. And it happens in the space of... like two or three months. It's eerie.

I'm sure "woke" will go the way of the dodo in a few years and conservatives will be calling everyone "compassi-traitors" or something.

Gotta catch some fuckin knowledge

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 84 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Who the hell do they think is programming their software? I just don't understand this nonsense.

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world 56 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

They want to tell LGBTQ+ people what they should & shouldn't be allowed to do with their own software.

[–] Forester@pawb.social 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wouldn't that technically be hardware?

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The point is that many of these open source projects are hugely supported by open source developers in the LGBTQ+ community & minorities from all over the world. It requires building diverse inclusive communities, cooperation & support for these projects & members to exist. There is absolutely no room for hate & bigotry.

Then these anti-DEI incels come along & complain about diversity telling them what their projects should & shouldn't, essentially wanting to remove the communities, cooperation & support that make these projects successful. They don't even want to contribute, but just want to complain. Then they go find some right-wing software, realize it sucks ass, then come back & complain more about why can't the software they want to use cater to their hate.

I remember the moment Walter Bright of D fame started to do something about letting bad people use the language (the infamous "let nazis code" line), the number of contributions didn't really drop at first, instead it started to slowly pick up its former popularity it lost with the Dv2 release (long story short: the language foundation unleashed the attribute hell on the language, then people moved to Go or the then freshly started Rust).

[–] Forester@pawb.social 5 points 1 day ago

With all love and respect I work in IT you don't need to preach to the choir.

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 32 points 1 day ago

God Lunduke sucks so much.

[–] ProvableGecko@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Bro even web browsers are getting in on the right-wing grifter bandwagon. What a time

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 41 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Ah yes, anime girl profile pic, the one, and really only thing that unites the left and right that sets them apart from centrists.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

Jesus Christ, man. Lunduke used to be someone I listened to. It’s so sad to see what he’s become.

And now Brave too, but I guess Brave has always been shady. Shady and shitty go hand in hand.

[–] umbraroze@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago

One day, I was browsing my YouTube subscriptions and found several Lunduke videos where the dude was screeching about woke DEI stuff, and I was like, "wtf, when did I sub to this raving chud" while reaching for the unsub button.

I probably watched some Linux video loooong ago and subscribed and thought nothing more of it.

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Listening to Lunduke should be a warcrime to FOSS

[–] poVoq@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Influencer-industrial complex... the YT algorithm constantly pushes them to make these bad takes as it brings the clicks (and subsequently ad revenue money) and after a while they get high on their own supply.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or messaged a minor for sexual favors, like Dr. Diddlerspect.

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 20 points 1 day ago (5 children)

God fucking damnit, Brave always seemed the most decent of the Chromiums, really why the burning hell do I now also need to find another browser? I’m still trying to kick out Proton after they cuddled up to Diaper Donnie.

[–] exu@feditown.com 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Firefox?

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I use several different browsers for reasons, Firefox being my favourite by far. It’s a great suggestion, just not for me anymore.

[–] pfr@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 5 hours ago

Librewolf? Zen browser?

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago

Brave had plenty of controversy over the years. For example, their whole-hog adoption of web3/cryptocurrency/NFT garbage.

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 day ago

Why not just Chromium?

[–] HakFoo@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If I need a Chromium, I feel like Vivaldi has their heart in the right place.

Sadly, the WebSerial stuff didn't work when I tried it recently.

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 2 points 18 hours ago

It’s on my test list too now, appreciated

[–] bitwolf@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Try Cromite it's awesome

[–] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 2 points 18 hours ago

Thanks, I’ll give that a shot.
