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. …”
I definitely won’t defend these comments (let me rephrase: I won’t even read them).
But just to put it into perspective, there are 219 contributers on the backend code alone. By pure chance you will find any political opinion there. Some you would agree with, most you feel indifferent about and a few who you wonder how the hell they arrived at their conclusions.
