    Using a product gives its creator legitimacy

    I reject that completely, at least as far as their views on unrelated things might be concerned.

    It’s like saying you should stop using Linux because doing so lends legitimacy to Linus’ abusive behaviour (or that it did so, I believe he’s more chill these days).

      Sure, fine. We can go with that, if you like.

      Then my core point still stands; using a service gives the creator/owner of that service a platform to speak from.

      Do note that the line between related and unrelated can be quite faint and blurry. How do you decide where it is?
