    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

      Lemmy.ml is run by the developers on lemmy, and if you look at the modlog, it looks like the lemmy developers deleted comments then banned a shit ton of people who were not virulently anti-Israel. It is pretty shocking to me, as the anti-Israel stuff remained. Who are the developers, and who is paying them?
