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!”

        I don’t expect it to be safe, and I do expect to fight against authoritarian propaganda when I see it.

        All the drama and hateful trolls are extremely similar to the growing pains of reddit 15 years ago. The rational healthy users outnumber the hateful crazies, and that trend will continue as the userbase grows.

        I hope…

          I hope so too but I’m not optimistic. I was on Reddit before most people and it didn’t have anywhere this level of authoritarian propaganda.

      It’s world’s better. But still chick full of Leninist. So still problematic because of that. On the whole though they don’t brigade like hexbear or lemmygrad. Hell a large swath of their users are ironically not leninists even. However, when you do find one that is Leninist yeah you’re gonna get toxic irrationality. But no worse than your average capitalist or neo-libertarian.

        I just had several calm, rational comments deleted with no reason given. I can only assume it’s because I was correcting a lie that made the CCP look better. A bunch of other people’s comments got deleted in the same thread.

        In other words, lemmy.ml had strict censorship in order to support an authoritarian government. It’s a cancer on the Fediverse.
