Completely makes sense they are slammed with development issues. I hope more people can offer help on that front. I can only offer money to their cause.

https://archive.is/Eps0gre: claim of devs supporting genocide… I’ve seen this claim made multiple times, but never seen it backed up. Anyone have sources where they have made such statements?
The Uyghur genocide is happening, as verified by multiple reputable sources.
Argh posting failed. tldr, yes dessalines is a genocide denier…

His “rebuttals” to the common knowledge of the Uyghur genocide occuring in China is primarily nobody commenters on Twitter/Medium, or obvious Chinese propaganda outlets. I gave up looking for reputable information in that list.
This will be the one thing that causes Lemmy to fall…… pure burnout. It’s 2 guys making nothing and thousands of winey folks expecting this to be Reddit overnight.
On another topic, there are rumors circulating that we are fascists or supported genocide.
This is the part that I think will make it more difficult, since I imagine there are quite a few devs that would rather contribute to projects by less politically-outspoken project owners.
(I would also note that they don’t deny being tankies, and tankies tend to insist they aren’t fascists. They also deny the Uyghur genocide so they have that going for them too.)
This exactly. I’m a software engineer and I’m itching to contribute to one of these systems, but I do not agree with some of the stuff I’ve seen posted by one of the developers of Lemmy. It just leaves a sour taste in my mouth about the whole thing.
