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!”

    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.

      Good God man.

      Just because there are competing perspectives does not mean that all perspectives are equally appropriate.

      Just because someone does something that benefits you personally does not give them a free pass for being a fuck head

        He made the comment on an instance that supports that kind of extreme speech. The comment was appropriate in the place that he made it. I don’t care if someone’s a fuck head its not a big deal to me.

      I for one would prefer that the dev of the tools I use doesn’t celebrate the deaths of children just because of where they happened to be born. Calling that just a “spicy take” is ridiculous.

        That’s a fine opinion to have.

        Let’s read it correctly, instead of distorting it. The quotes above argued that 15yr Olds are valid targets, not celebrating their death and not all all children. I realize the difference doesn’t matter much, but in discussion is better to be clear

        Opinions are like buttholes, everyone has one.

        I imagine you look into someone’s life deep enough, there is eventually something you are going to disagree ethically about.

        I think that is why it is important to have the conversation, rather then pretend the issue doesn’t exist. Because that is what Israel has been doing for 20 years. It is also why the people of Israel and Palestine have bodies in the streets.

        This is 20 years of inaction boiling over into one single event. We either learn the lesson, or continue in ignorance.

        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.

        Nah actual it is just a political view and a spicy take. This guy is not advocating for murder of a group of people he is making a reactionary comment to a group of people who already had that opinion.
