Guess where? Unironically r/Save3rdPartyApps

The Reddit search for Lemmy also gives these privacy copy-pasta as top results when searching for Lemmy. I’m still betting that Reddit employees are involved in boosting these posts.

    I did not know you call leftists “real pieces of shit”. That makes you look really bad, I think.

      Denying genocide is sort of shitty though.

        You have to use facts to backup evidence for genocide, not media propaganda or religious nutjobs who claim “God sent me with the mission to destroy China”.

          Sure, and then continuing to deny it is kind of shitty.

            It is, but only when genocide is proved and not made up out of thin air to manufacture consent or justify aggression with foreign policy.

      Fortunately, tankies aren’t leftists, since authoritarianism and hierarchy is necessarily a right-wing viewpoint.

      Right-wing politics describes the range of political ideologies that view certain social orders and hierarchies as inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable.

      Left-wing politics describes the range of political ideologies that support and seek to achieve social equality and egalitarianism, often in opposition to social hierarchy as a whole.

      Since the two instances run by the developers are generally pro-genocide and pro-authoritarianism, those are some huge sticking points for Lemmy going forward. Federation doesn’t help because they control the biggest instances and the development of the software itself. I wouldn’t be surprised if the developers invited more people into the core group and stepped down from a leadership position to avoid being a lightning rod for all of the ecosystem.
