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.

Well, they denied to be fascists or support genocide, without denying being "tankies". I don't know how they would respond to such claims, but I did found out that one of the developer did (or do?) hold "tankie" views.
