I think maybe we can appeal to Dessalines’ better nature as a non-transphobe, and he’ll send Nutomic to sensitivity training (e.i. talk to his friend and teach him some empathy). Does that sound like a cause you can get behind?
I’m using Lemmy’s built in crosspost functionality. Blame Nutomic for the fact it’s duplicated across your feed. A better developer would have made it so crossposts only get delivered to the feed once. In fact, I think Piefed has that feature already iirc
No, and I see your point. Sorry for forgetting that we’re stronger together. I’m making a stand right now and saying Nutomic is a fake socialist who values power over fairness, and his erasure of indigenous communism is deeply racist. He should also be fired for his denial of genocide.
Well the problem is that scientists have conclusively demonstrated through empirical trials that misgendering causes harm to trans people, so Nutomic did an act of violence in this screenshot and might treat more trans people with violence. This violent man shouldn’t represent the Lemmy software
I want the Lemmy project to stop giving money to Nutomic. I think they should hire a trans developer instead. I mean, Lemmy is written in Rust, which is the gayest programming language, so it should be easy to find one.
Maybe, but I’m trying this anyway and I hope you’ll sign the petition too. We’ve got nothing to lose by trying to appeal to Dessalines’ better nature. And hey, if Dessalines can’t be convinced, this petition would be a really handy tool for convincing other people to switch to Piefed. The next step after a petition is a boycott.
No, but he’s specifically saying “biological men” (ew) are being allowed into the Olympics, so clearly he doesn’t think 2 years of estrogen is rigorous enough
Nutomic is paid a full time salary to develop Lemmy from donations to the project. I even got a message from him at the top of my feed the other week asking for money. It was like the Wikipedia donate banner, except it said it was from Nutomic. He’s not actually in charge of the project, though, Dessalines is. Dessalines could fire Nutomic if he wanted. I think we should all ask Dessalines to fire Nutomic for transphobia
Yeah, a different opinion that trans women who’ve met the Olympic Committee’s requirements to compete in the women’s division, including at least 2 years on estrogen, are “biological men”
Well, I think people who support fascists trying to coup the government deserve to be shot, and people who encourage millions not to get vaccinated against deadly plagues also deserve to be shot.
I’m deliberately choosing not to make this about my own views on anarchy vs fake authoritarian socialism, because I want to find common ground with the Lemmy development team in terms of agreeing that transphobia has no place in any version of leftism and no place on Lemmy
