Cool, way to prioritize your opinions. Now you just have to find an email platform run by people you always agree with about everything.

Based on the content of the post, it seems like it would be adequate to find an email platform run by people not vocally calling for the ethnic cleansing of minorities.

Thats not an accurate framing. There are some disagreements that are red lines and others that are not. I think Chrono Trigger is one of the greatest games of all time, and someone disagreeing with me on that point is not a big deal. A hyperbolic example of the other side would be a Nazi's opinion on Jewish people. Given the nature of that opinion, not only would I disagree with them it would also be completely appropriate to fully disassociate with them and highly encourage others to do so.

People draw lines in different places, and what you are doing here is implying that it is unreasonable for people to take that level of issue with DHH's "gypsy" comment. I disagree. I think its completely reasonable to view that as unacceptable and to disassociate from that person.

You only need to find an email platform run by people you agree with more, no? I'd vouch for proton mail here.

People like you always say to vote with your wallets until people start doing that.

That would be Migadu, btw. But also plenty of people left them over their vague anti-violence pledge which many deem anti-Free Speech.

/s I left Migadu for Hey.

You don’t have to agree on everything but there are redlines

Your comment suggests that all disagreements are equal. I would get email service from someone who likes Ruby more than Python, even if I disagree. I, like the author of the post, wouldn't get email from someone I knew was virulently racist as DHH is.
