      “that asshole” has been working below minimum wage, one unexpected financial burden away from homelessness, for the last four years to bring you Lemmy for free

      What I’m saying is even if you disagree with his views, on the things that actually impact you, he’s been a great positive in your life

        Just because someone does a selfless act, does not mean that they have carte blanche to spout dangerous misinformation and propaganda

          What Dessalines spouts is by and large uncomfortable truths that are paved over by Western government misinformation and propaganda, your reaction is that of someone clinging to the lies they were raised with rather than accepting the truth.

            I’ll be sure to tell the families of those who died in Tiananmen Square that that was all just “western government misinformation”

                  is saying that the story was largly sensationalized with proof saying it never happened?

                    It denies that a massacre happened in Tiananmen square.

                  Do you have reading comprehension issues? He doesn’t deny it happened in that comment, he calls it a US-backed color revolution and says that the PRC was right to put it down.

                  Calling the entire protest a color revolution is a matter of opinion, but it is an undeniable fact that many of the most high-profile protest leaders were US-backed.

      Dessalines, right? I happen upon a lot of his Github issue threads on libraries that i use, which i think is interesting when i recognize the account. He seems normal there.

      Other than that, looking at his Lemmy profile, it seems he gets into a lot of political arguments on subjects that i don’t know much about - i can’t tell if he’s unjustly hateful towards any group. I have heard he bans people a lot over these disagreements, which isn’t cool so i think your sentiment is fair.

      Currently my only issue with .ml is the profanity filter but i don’t know anything about the other instances either. I imagine this conversation has been had a lot already but if i’m on Lemmy either way, what’s the difference in terms of support? If he’s a dick, i’d probably rather just switch to Kbin or PieFed

        [email protected] if you want to learn more about their (and the rest of the Tankie Triad’s) shenanigans. Though you’ll need to view it through another instance, because .ml blocks it to prevent their own users from seeing it. Talk about censorship LMAO
