Not trying to be a buzzkill but apparently dessalines, the main #Lemmy developer, is a ... #genocide denier?!

Unless new info emerges, I cannot recommend #Lemmy in good conscience. Federation doesn't fix this IMHO because being a main developer is a high position and it also affects non-dev things like donations.

For this reason, I wish to distance myself from #Lemmy.

#FreeSoftware is great but no excuse to ignore other issues.

Heads up: The tankie behind lemmy.ml got banned from r/socialism for posting fascist LaRouchite propaganda

@Wuzzy are you aware of the difference between cultural genocide and actual genocide? Using the term "genocide" in regards to forcing cultures to change, is a bit gross.

What China is doing is bad but it's not genocide. They aren't exterminating a group of peoples. They are destroying their culture.

The literature appears to mostly call it genocide these days, therefore, I call it genocide.
