Barely enough time in the day to develop new features? Quit using your "full time job" to post genocide denial and Stalin apologism.

I can't remember the last time Lemmy added a new feature that actually benefits admins or users. The Piefed devs are constantly coming out with new features, maybe it's because they don't waste the whole day banning people for left wing political views like saying genocide is bad.

The way I see it, genocide is exclusively advocated by fascistic authoritarians, and fascistic authoritarians are extreme right wing, so being against genocide is a left (of fascism) wing viewpoint. Directions are all relative, there is no political center. But on each issue there are sides in different directions. There's left wing and right wing in regards to capitalism, left wing and right wing in regards to gender, and left wing and right wing in regards to genocide. On the issue of genocide I'm on the same side as 90% of the world, and tankies are over on the other side with Nazis, Taliban, and JK Rowling. Those are the left and right sides, respectively.

That's valid. I suppose I would tend to use the terminology that left and right relate only to capitalism, etc, and would use progressive or conservative to refer to non-economic and things that shouldn't be political, like gender or genocide. Lately I'd just use 'shit-person' instead of conservative given... the obvious I assume. But it's good to know that terminology is changing. We can certainly agree that tankies, nazis, rowling, hateful people, and genocide all suck.
