To be honest, for 99.99% of all the software I am using, I don't even know who authored/produced it. The same for other every-day products I use and/or consume.

Actively contributing or joining a group would be an indication that you share views with them.

But having installed a piece of software maybe through a package manager? Simply using it?

I agree. I think it is unrealistic to check the "political correctness" of everything you use. But in this case, because of their own advocacy, you know now where they stand. In my case, I would prefer to not get involved, and avoid if possible, to use their project.

That was my whole point.

Also, for the rest, I totally agree with you.
