The developers are communists. One of them maintains a collection of essays explaining their beliefs. There is a lot of drama and controversy swirling around. A lot of people putting words in each other's mouths. If you want a straight answer, I would go straight to the source. The fact that you're hearing third-hand that they're white supremacists and nazis clearly illustrates how distorting the rumor mill is.
(older thread and things move quckly on lemmy, but anyway...)
important to always remind people that the devs have given us an agnostic tool. how you use it is entirely up to you.
