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!”

    Friendly reminder that it’s very easy to sympathize with the plight of the Palestinians without glorifying terrorists.

    For a similar example, I support the cause of a United Ireland but that doesn’t mean I support the IRA. Be better than that.

    There is no indication whatsoever that @SleeplessOne1917 is the same person as @cannotsleep420. Jesus, people, stop pissing yourselves for the literal 30 seconds it took to fact check this bullshit claim.

    *edit: I took the liberty of finding the actual dev’s account: /u/SleeplessOne1917@lemmy.ml. It took a whole additional minute. You’re welcome

    *edit 2: /u/NOT_RICK@lemmy.world has some links below that do indeed link /u/SleeplessOne1917@lemmy.ml to /u/CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml. Soooo, while I don’t regret my nearly infinite capacity for skepticism, but it looks like this story has some legs. Hat tip to NOT_RICK, who is adamantly not Rick.

      You might want to reinvestigate. @cannotsleep420 is the one that made those comments and they are a dev.

    Idc about his political views. I’m still thankful he is talking the time to working on developing lemmy.

    Right now there’s a million spicy takes on this conflict.

        I’m sure some of the Foss software I use has had nazis contribute. It doesn’t worry me what a random non political figure says on the internet.

            That’s not dodging your question. I answered that I don’t care. Actual nazi’s have made contributions to some of the technology we use today and you aren’t kicking up a stink about that.

      this is not just some “political views” or a “spicy take” this is someone advocating for the murder of a group of people. you can’t just centrist your way out of this

    How about we stop both sides from killing people considering it’s been going on for hundreds of years and nothing has changed.
