1 year agoOn another topic, there are rumors circulating that we are fascists or supported genocide. These claims are completely false, and like most viral twitter threads, are coming from a single Mastodon user on a personal vendetta who didn’t provide any sources.
Well, they denied to be fascists or support genocide, without denying being “tankies”. I don’t know how they would respond to such claims, but I did found out that one of the developer did (or do?) hold “tankie” views. See https://lemmy.world/comment/311333 and https://lemmy.world/comment/329485 for more.
I believe that one of the Lemmy developer is a “tankie”. See https://lemmy.world/comment/311333, also https://lemmy.world/comment/329485 for supporting evidence. And the dev clearly stated that they (singular) denied a genocide is taking place.
But I don’t think using Lemmy itself supports the atrocities. However, it is difficult to explain all these to outsiders if we want to attract more users, especially when there are other Reddit alternatives.
