    You are literally on Lemmy. The project owner’s views are well-known.

        The Lemmy backend, the default web frontend, the Jerboa app, and the lemmy.ml instance are all owned by the same person.

          Thx… Couldnt really find anything about him - other than “anti human rights” - without context or explanation. But I did find his own post describing his motivations as (my paraphrasing) leftish anti establishment… i am fine with that. I’m even in support. But again - choose your instance…

          https://lemmy.ml/post/70319

          (The only problem is lemmy hardcoded slur words… But I couldn’t find a list of those slurs, so difficult to have an opinion about specifically. And in any case, if somebody wants to create the best social software on the planet, and hardcode banning of the word ‘snuffle’ into to the platform, because they have issues with that word being used, thats more than ok. That’s extremely cool).

          Go Lemmy and go dessalines - you rock I believe.

      Sure, no argument with that - although I am happy piefed is rising as an alternative.

      I did not intend to claim moral superiority or any absolutes, which is, again, why I just tend to also provide a small disclaimer while recommending that kind of software.

      It’s more about giving a small preface to people I care about should they ever end up intending to contribute to certain projects. I don’t think that’s an unreasonable stance to take. But if you think it is and weren’t just doing a social media zinger let me know.

            I don’t know which label is the most accurate, but he supports Putin’s war, which lands him in the “shitbag” category. Being technically not fascist does not negate supporting the military invasion of a sovereign country, the ethnic cleansing of its people, and the rape, murder, and torture committed by the invaders.

            Like clockwork, tankies will call actual leftists “liberals” everytime someone mentions that tankies are fascists who support capitalist imperialism from Russia and China.

            Yes, the famous communist fascist. His name is Stalin. You’ve probably heard of him.

            In a world gone mad, you have to be insane to stay sane.

        That’s true but not useful.

        It’s probably better to describe both ideologies as extreme-authoritarian or totalitarian. They’re about equally undesirable; when someone has a boot on your throat, it doesn’t matter much whether it’s the right boot or the left boot.
