Lead Lemmy Developer, Dessalines, denying the Tiananmen Square Massacre and praising the Uyghur Genocide

This comment is pretty old.

It's from 2021, it's post pandemic for god's sake it's hardly ancient history.

I've probably said some ideological embarrassing things in the past.

Yeah but no one cares about the things you say because you're not a major software developer. If you were it would also be perfectly acceptable to have a go at you about some of your less desirable talking points.

Unless he's still pushing these talking points

Yeah but he is isn't he? That's the point he hasn't got any better he's still out there doing it.

I considered that and removed the other threads. Though I think this one should be an exception (even if it's from reddit), mostly because it's almost a copypaste of Dessaline's github--Hell this comment may have been where that part of the github originated.

For those unaware, Dessaline has quite the extensive github of tankie ideology and talking points, I've read through most of it and it's pretty fucking shit. Some of the "sources" are literally just random tweets. It's very akin to those anti-vax gish gallop diarrhoea spiels where they think memes are sources.

2y is really not that old and they have had a track record with those comments starting from over on reddit which resulted in a ban and them developing this website. The plans for this site came from being so out spoken about it. Your point would be valid if they hadn't said anything and showed to be actively correcting themselves for those last two years.

Everything is in the past. That's when stuff happened.
