Good read, gives me a lot of hope for this project.

I look forward to an exciting future with all of you.

(Also- hopefully this wasn't posted already)

...what scandal?

[–] thedarkfly@feddit.nl 9 points 2 years ago (71 children)

It appears that they support the CCP and deny the Uyghur genocide.

[–] tias@discuss.tchncs.de 35 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They specifically address this in the article and say it isn't true.

On 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. Such slander doesn’t deserve any response and is best left ignored.

Here is Dessalines denying that any genocide is taking place: https://lemmy.ml/comment/471382

They can say "we don't support genocide" all day long, but denying that any genocide is taking place and actively trying to persuade others that no genocide is happening isn't any better.

I argue that it unintentionally supports a genocide since they're using a platform to (inadvertently) hide the genocide from the public by convincing others that nothing of the sort is happening.

Weird, I just went to it and it seems to work. I'll SS it and post it in my comment for ease.

this may appear to you as an irrelevant detail, but... they who?

[–] thedarkfly@feddit.nl 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sorry about the ambiguity. At least one of the main devs of Lemmy.

[–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I saw someone else did a bit of research deeper down in the thread. It seems it's questionable but they at least "only" control like two federated instances, lemmy.world not being one of them. Of course, still not good to have someone like that in the dev team :/

[–] ramennoodle@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i mean, there's only two people. they ARE the dev team for now.
