    I’m always a little torn on projects like this.

    On the one hand, I know a few people who have hosted tt-rss and the software worked very well for them and their needs.

    On the other hand, software whose maintainers have fascist tendencies, or are at best super edge-lords, and which maintains a culture in the developers and community that’s just super toxic is not something I ever wish to support or be associated with.

    I have similar feelings on the hyperland project, or suckless software. What i have personally settled on is to not touch the software myself, and give a slight disclaimer when recommending it to others.

    I suppose unmaintained can be added to the disclaimer for this one now. At least we have a plethora of very nice alternatives in the rss space with projects like freshrss, miniflux, and nextcloud news.

        I vaguely remember something about some torchlit march (in Bavaria?) and people accusing suckless devs of being Nazis. Also their entire concept is just kind of elitist.

        Note that I have no idea if the Nazi claims are true or not.

          I really don’t understand why a March with torchs classifies them as fascists. It is very common here in the italian alps, that are very leftwing. They also have literally zero nazi symbols.

      You are literally on Lemmy. The project owner’s views are well-known.
