Nutomic’s transphobia and downplay of COVID are deplorable, but Rimu isn’t merely opinionated on memes and shitposts. Rimu is a rabid anti-communist, with deeply racist views justified internally by said anti-communism:
And justifying it with articles from far-right think-tanks like the McCain Institute:
These views are disgusting, and being an anti-communist is what leads Rimu to accept them more readily. Further, equating slur filters to things like PieFed’s social credit score system is apples to oranges, and defaults against communist instances that unsuspecting new admins wouldn’t think to check just further displays Rimu’s clear ideological opposition to Lemmy on the basis of Lemmy having a lot of communists.
I actually don’t understand what the fight they’re having in that chain about COVID in 2025. Are people still doing pandemic responses in other countries? I haven’t seen a single person wear a mask where I live in Sonora in 3 or 4 years, am I supposed to be the only one wearing a mask and implementing a population level public health measure on my own? I got the vaccine
COVID still exists and still impacts people with the vaccine. Government mandates have been lifted, but masking is the correct decision, at minimum in large public gatherings.

And pedophilia apology, I forgot that one initially (was bookmarked on an account which I thought I had deleted). This shithead doesn’t reflect well on Dessalines.
And about the rest… Damn, even in isolation it’s complete bullshit. Wouldn’t have thought that someone whose server displays a “Rational Discourse Toolkit” insert would have fallen for that.
So, back to Mbin it is. You don’t have dirt on Melroy now, do you 😓 ?
I don’t have any dirt on Melroy, no, but I’d say just use Lemmy. For all of Nutomic’s personal faults, unlike PieFed they don’t make it to the code, and you can spin up or join an instance entirely unaffiliated with Nutomic if you wish. Most Lemmy.ml users find Nutomic’s views deplorable too, most of us are communists.
I know, I’ve been on lemmy for the past 6 years. But I can’t just overlook that swollen pimple and still use the sofware while there’s alternatives that are maintained by people who, to my knowledge, don’t have such disgusting views.
You might have misunderstood what I was getting at 😅. I wasn’t thinking about servers or admins, but about the person/people behind the project. That’s whose views I can’t overlook.
I’m aware. As far as I know, Dessalines does not share those views at all, nor do the other contributors to Lemmy. Rimu is the lead developer of PieFed, and the largest PieFed instances are generally ones that align more closely with Lemmy.world style views, ie anti-communism and liberal Zionism.

I sure hope so! The problem is, even though anti-bigotry is a part of Lemmy’s code of conduct, and the first rule of Lemmy.ml, he never addressed the noisiest of the issues with Nutomic, i.e., his transphobia…

To be fair, since the grand Reddit exodus, it’s the same on Lemmy if you exclude the troika (like damn, people, stop with the “triad” shit! “Troika” is just the superior term).
I must confess that looking at MoG when it pops into my feed is my guilty pleasure. It’s always fun to compare the allegations of a post with the content of the modlog. That capra demon sure has the audience they deserve.
Speaking against “defense of an empire” is rich because they banned my blahaj account for pointing out that Germany is complicit in the palestinian genocide.
Now censor me so I can go post in YPTB.

It was never mandated here so I guess people never started

I’m not certain about Melroy, so I can’t say, but Lemmy itself does not have those views, nor does every instance (in fact, most do not).

NGL this is the saddest shit I’ve read all week
It’s a bit account right???
Was gonna say MoG at first, but thought it was too transparent 🤷♀️
Posting to MoG would be worse, at least yptb is occasionally pretty useful, and MoG is run by a zionist.
I must confess that looking at MoG when it pops into my feed is my guilty pleasure. It’s always fun to compare the allegations of a post with the content of the modlog. That capra demon sure has the audience they deserve.
Fair. A fun recent one was EmoPunker’s post about me, where they cut off the conclusion: they had claimed Pol Pot defenders were “genuine socialists,” presumably out of fear of looking bad to their fellow social fascists.
Speaking against “defense of an empire” is rich because they banned my blahaj account for pointing out that Germany is complicit in the palestinian genocide.
Sounds about right for that crowd.
No one cares what you think
