Kbin needs a version of this. I'm trying to avoid Lemmy, what with all of the Russian supporters.
Make your own! Everyone needs a place, and if you believe you can't support lemmy then there are likely others. You'd be helping them too.
I don't engage with that topic of conversation so I didn't know that's how it was seen. I'm sure there are plenty of supporters on other instances too. I view it as picking my battles. Reddit was one I picked. I can't pick this one because as a woman I have too many heartbreaking battles going on and I can't add that one too. Does that make sense?
It's Lemmy.ml and Lemmygrad that have the Russia supporters. There's a lot of other Lemmy instances without them. They are just as likely to show up here as they are on a kbin magazine, since they are all federated.
I would hate for you to leave/avoid our community, but I understand if you want to abide by your ethical principles. I made a /c/OutOfTheLoop post to gather more information since I've heard rumors related to your concern. You can review it here: https://lemmy.world/post/310513
