A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I can't disagree. But as one facet among others, I also think "concern" is reasonably warranted in conducting a comparative assessment.
Edit: also worth highlighting: "there's nothing wrong with being against gay marriage because it's a political opinion" is certifiably homophobic. How much responsibility Kagi's moderators bear for not removing that comment or otherwise explicitly advising that homophobia won't be tolerated is debatable, but it's not great.
Affiliation with Brave and, therefore, Eich is relevant and deserves to be mentioned in the interest of potential users. I just think the way the author extrapolates their own opinion of that comment into an implication that "Kagi allows blatant homophobia on their forums because of company bias/their affiliation with Brave" to be really misleading and underhanded.
