Because he's the developer. He can easily change a line of code to exploit users and servers across the fediverse.

This can be done by anyone, and applies to any platform. It's not a problem unique to Lemmy.

I also don't see how transphobia and backdooring everyone are at all related.

Right. Exactly. That's why who develops things matters. Conduct at a project level dictates what comes of the things developed. The fact that this platform is developed by transphobes is a big FUCKING deal and is why I have hope for PieFed and Sublinks because they have actual factual solidarity and decency as core values.

Not really. Usually the issue is the platform devs also control the instances/servers but that isn't the case here.

The code isn't transphobic. The code is code. We shouldn't reject perfectly good code because we don't like who wrote it. That's just giving the software solely to the people who do to the detriment of everyone else.
