      Just block lemmy.ml - who cares what the devs think. It’s an open source project.

      If you were genuinely curious one of the devs has a massive manifesto. No need to speculate I’m pretty sure it covers every topic known to man.

      I don’t recall seeing anything particularly antisemitic but I was honestly so dumbfounded I wouldn’t know where to start looking.

        So I went back because I was curious. Again it is a fucking wild ride, I suggest yall search it out. I’m not gonna post it because I don’t wanna bring any unnecessary bandwagoning. But I searched for anti-semitism real quick and found this:

        It proves absolutely nothing but it would be pretty weird to see the devs of lemmy cite anti-semitism as a reason Orwell was bad if they were also anti-semitic.

          Bro stop crying. The devs don’t profit from this like a private company would. Don’t use their instance, spin up your own, the project is open source and bigger than them. Your political grandstanding means nothing.

        Kbin isn’t really a fork, but it does have a similar feature set.

      can you elaborate on this? I wonder if the situation is any other on a platform like reddit so I suppose it’s the people not the platform

        From what I saw, there was one developer spouting some abhorant things, talking about how all Israeli citizens were targets at this point. I haven’t seen anything else about other developers sharing these views though so I’m considering it an isolated nutter until we see more

        Lemmy has a huge tankie problem and it becomes really apparent when a situation like this comes up

        Why tankies/leftists think Palestine is in any way aligned with them is beyond me
