Lemmy developer, @SleeplessOne1917, argues for the killing of Israeli civilians and children
In the recent Lemmy developer update, there's a reference to one Lemmy developer, SleeplessOne1917.
I found some horrifying comments from this user.
https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649200 - "There is no such thing as an Israeli civilian. All settlers are valid targets."
https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649472 - "15 year olds are military age. That makes them valid targets for killing."
https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649732 - "... There is no such thing as a zionoid civilian. Everything that moves and isn’t Palestinian is a valid target. ..."

Edit: New comment from the user "Cry more. Israelis need to be eliminated. Death to Israel, and death to Amerikkka!"

You're viewing a single thread.
There is no indication whatsoever that @SleeplessOne1917 is the same person as @cannotsleep420. Jesus, people, stop pissing yourselves for the literal 30 seconds it took to fact check this bullshit claim.*edit: I took the liberty of finding the actual dev's account: /u/SleeplessOne1917@lemmy.ml. It took a whole additional minute. You're welcome
*edit 2: /u/NOT_RICK@lemmy.world has some links below that do indeed link /u/SleeplessOne1917@lemmy.ml to /u/CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml. Soooo, while I don't regret my nearly infinite capacity for skepticism, but it looks like this story has some legs. Hat tip to NOT_RICK, who is adamantly not Rick.
You might want to reinvestigate. @cannotsleep420 is the one that made those comments and they are a dev.
In the recent Lemmy developer update, there’s a reference to one Lemmy developer, SleeplessOne1917.
I found some horrifying comments from this user.
The post then lists comments from /u/cannotsleep420@lemmygrad.ml, however the text over the name is SleeplessOne (without the number on the end). This account is also on lemmygrad, the lemmy devs' main accounts are on lemmy.ml. Do you have anything to verify that they're the same person, or that they are another dev? Because I see no "CannotSleep420" mentioned on the github page. The main two are actually /u/dessalines@lemmy.ml and /u/nutomic@lemmy.ml.
Next you'll be telling me that Hollywood actress Margot Robbie also moderates round these parts.
You can look up my other comment for more examples, but this one is the most clear:
https://lemmygrad.ml/post/750810
They may not be the same person, although I suspect they are as the lemmy.ml account isn’t active, but either way 420 is at a minimum a contributor
They "contributed to the project", that doesn't mean they have any authority over lemmy development, as the top of the post is suggesting. "Contributing to the project" could mean just about anything.
While I wouldn't completely discount the possibility that they are the same person, this post provides no evidence of that. HOWEVER, this comment suggests they might well be!!
TBF the future lemmy developer isn’t too far off. I’ve been discussing being added to the NLNet grant along with another person, phiresky, with Dessalines and Nutomic.
@TokyoMonsterTrucker@lemmy.dbzer0.com you might be interested in that.
OK, let me explain this slowly. @sleeplessone1917 is a different handle than @cannotsleep420, hence: they are not the same person unless you have other evidence to offer. Beyond , that is, @cannotsleep420 claiming to be a dev, which could be for literally any site/app on the entire planet.
I understand that. @cannotsleep420 is still in that Lemmy update thread mentioning development to-dos.
Feel free to share that thread link. In the meantime, here's the actual dev account: /u/SleeplessOne1917@lemmy.ml. And their selfless unpaid work removing pedos from find-lemmy: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/3630011
Yeah they don’t use that account. It’s pretty clear to me they’re active on their lemmygrad account over the lemmy.ml one.
Here they are mentioning dev work:

I deleted my previous response as it was a bit dickish. I stand corrected, this is pretty strong evidence.
All good, I’ve gone after people too hard too (got a mean comment deleted yesterday in fact, I was definitely wrong). It’s good to have scruples
It's a little too easy to be mean on the internet. Human nature, I guess, when you can't see who you're talking to.
@SleeplessOne1917 seems to be their GitHub handle. You can see this by going to one of the pull requests that are linked in the thread (e.g instance block feature)
@cannotsleep420 seems to be their lemmy handle. You can see this by going to the thread link the OP posted, in which that account is commenting about the UI tweaks.
Both accounts list their location as 'Burgerland'(?) so they're most likely the same dev. Plus the 'SleeplessOne1917' lemmy handle you linked has absolutely no activity.
You can also see @cannotsleep420 crossposting earlier lemmy changelogs that mention @SleeplessOne1917...
FYI, you can make an instance agnostic link just by typing /u/SleeplessOne1917@lemmy.ml.
Doesn't work for me. @SleeplessOne1917@lemmy.ml does though
Nice tip, thank you. Still fumbling my way around...
No worries. A couple other things:
/c/community@instanceand@community@instancewill work for communities./u/user@instanceis instance agnostic but will not generate a mention to the user's inbox.[linktext](http://instance/u/user)will link to the user's instance only, but it sends a mention to them. You can also do this by starting to type@user@instanceand selecting the user from the dropdown box (on the website, not necessarily in apps).- The different apps for lemmy don't necessarily always work correctly in line with the website, but they'll catch up.
- Each post is actually primarily hosted at that user's instance, then federated from there. So if you're a lemmy.world user and post in a lemmy.ml community, your post will actually post at lemmy.world first and then federate. It isn't necessarily hosted in the community's instance. The same is true for every comment - hence why you won't see comments from users in an instance yours isn't federated with, even if they are federated with the post's instance and can comment in the thread.
- You can't really do anything with posts or comments to jump across instances, as each instance assigns a different number to the same content. Hopefully one day they'll change it so the url is more like
http://instance/post/123456@hostinstancein everywhere but the federated host instance. But it's all still in early development.
