      Not to defend China at all, but… this happened it many countries, it’s far from a China exclusive.

      Now, whether it’s still done anywhere else I am not aware of…

    What a vile piece of shit.

    This cockroach is an albatross on the neck of the Threadiverse.

    You can’t have a lead developer who behaves this way. It’s worse than the US oligarchs (on an unweighted basis). Dessalines has no power and no one is ever going to allow him anywhere near anything that requires even a modicum of responsibility. Even the US oligarchs have a much more nuances approach.

    What’s point 4 of the UN definition of genocide?

    Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group

    Hmmm…

    Dessalines calling Forced Sterilisation, Forced Labour Camps merely “birth control”, is pretty much equivalent to how the Nazis called their genocide of disabled people “mercy euthanasia”.

    Just proving he doesn’t actually understand consent. The white genociders are calling the use of birth control that is taken because the individual chooses to, genocide. The Uyghurs are being forced to take it by the state.

    This shows he does not actually understand the difference

    Thinking about this for a moment, this may be why they support authoritarian regimes. The do not differentiate between making a choice yourself, and being told to do something by the authorities.

      Probably the same types who don’t get how a promiscuous person can be raped, or that their promiscuity somehow invalidates it.

      It’s like “if some people want it, it’s okay to force it on others. If some people want it under certain conditions of their choosing, it’s okay to force it on them in other circumstances.”

      Just deliberately ignorant of the autonomy involved.

    Once again proving why Dessalines has no business being in charge of this platform. What an absolute tool.

      Good choice, its a lot better IMO it just takes getting used to how to browse around specific communities if you are searching for one from when you were on Lemmy but so far everything else is better, just missing TOTP 2FA but its not critically urgent for now anyway. Take that as I dont moderate communities though I’m not very aware of the differences of moderation of communities between PieFed and Lemmy

    It boggles my mind that the person who made my favorite Lemmy app is also a fan of genocide

    If using this app gave them money I’d have to find a different one
