It depends on what it is. I generally don’t expect an artist/creator to be what I’d consider a good role model.

Some examples:

Dave Grohl (lead singer/guitarist of Foo Fighters) announced he fathered a child outside of his marriage. I consider this morally wrong, but it has no impact on my enjoyment of the music.

J.K. Rowling being an outspoken transphobe has had an impact on my ability to enjoy Harry Potter. Not that I was ever a super fan, but I enjoyed the movies well enough. But discrimination against an entire group of people is too significant to me to keep the art separate from the artist.

Lemmy.ml has some pretty active communities on it. Might be worth it for OP to look over their most active communities and see if any interest them. If so, you have the option of blocking communities instead of the whole instance.

Lemmygrad and hexbear pretty much stick to their sociopolitical beliefs. If that’s not your bag, then no real loss in blocking those instances.

I imagine a good number of people will fall for this. Tech illiteracy is the norm.

For those who were a little concerned about the “breakup” phrasing in the title, I didn’t see any indication in the article indicating those payment methods would stop being accepted. Just moving away from being reliant on them.
