    I don’t agree with him but I don’t pay him for the open source and freely provided software I run on my instance which promotes the exact opposite. I really don’t believe that Meta align with my views either but I still use instagram. If I cared about changing their mind I would talk to them instead and try and influence them positively than get rid of the lemmy software. If someone wants to write an alternative go for it. I don’t think running the software is any kind of validation of its creators especially when its free and open source.

      Yeah, this is just manufactured drama. The screenshots showing what preceded his comment show the whole thing to clearly be bait for the purpose of creating drama.

        Bullshit. BULLSHIT. The context is “hey this tool helps keep trans people safe, any chance we can integrate it or make the platform work with it?” And the response was that its made up. Fucking. That’s not baiting. That’s a feature request

          I’m wondering if the people upvoting Anon have actually seen the context. There was no baiting involved. Only an explanation on why the feature was wanted.

          Context More context

        Funny how when others are called transphobic, it’s all hands on deck, no taking a moment to reconsider the facts or the context.

        But for some reason, this particular example requires caution? If you know Desalines, or the lemmy devs themselves, you’ll know that transphobia is just the tip of the iceberg of their extremism. Have a look for yourself: !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

          It’s quite possible those tankies are the very same people excusing his transphobia, they already simp for Castro and Che, who rounded up gay people and put them in “totally not death camps” for their “mandatory service” where they were starved and worked and beaten to death, and they totally excuse him for that, too.

          Yeah yeah, “later he said he was sorry he had all those gay people killed in concentration camps.” Uh huh.

            Che wasn’t involved in those camps at all. And not only did Castro apologize, but ended up helping push some of the most liberal LGBTQ laws on the books in any country, including the US.

            You excuse the US for all sorts of stuff, I’m sure. Reagan ignored a pandemic, all your founders were slave owners, hell, your current President is helping with a genocide and I’ve seen people excuse that all over Lemmy.

            And for the record, even the tankie communities on Lemmy, like hexbear, disagree with nutomic’s comments.
