Look at here and the people who complain about it being too hard to figure out are the ones complaining about "I can't use muh slurs, this is awful."

"The left of today is very much in favour of censorship to avoid “harm.” This makes those of us in the middle very wary of signing up to any partisan media." /u/decidedlysticky23

/u/misshapensteed claims he isn't far right, but explictly only posts on PoliticalCompassMemes and TheLeftCantMeme and KotakuInAction.

If they are too stupid to figure out we know they're lying, they're too stupid to figure out lemmy.

I'm glad that Beehaw doesn't do it, but the other instances shouldn't be federating the Tankies.

Authoritarian, genocide-denial, Stalin-praising politics have no place on the left.

That is the one thing that still makes me unsure of whether I should fully support Lemmy or not. I know how the federation works and that those communities can be easily excluded, but what is off to me is that the two main devs of Lemmy itself (and the Android app) are themselves tankies.

Can you reference who the main devs are?

[–] kiwi@lemmy.one 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@nutomic@lemmy.ml and @dessalines@lemmy.ml

Thanks. Dessalines is the one confirmed to be 'problematic'.
