Lemmy developer, @SleeplessOne1917, argues for the killing of Israeli civilians and children
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!"

Yeah the code might be fine. But if I want to support the development of Lemmy, say with a donation, am I financially supporting a piece of shit?
I'm not saying every contributor has to be thoroughly vetted, or that I have to agree politically with every contributor. It just feels icky, and I get the concern users have.
I donate to Lemmy.world but that doesn't go to this Lemmy dev in question, only Ruud and his team. You can donate to specific instance admins who aren't batshit crazy hateful scumbags and support the growth of healthy instances.
