To clarify, not even the devs' positions on Stalin, but: > Meanwhile, another [post] suggests celebrating Stalin's birthday as he was such a great guy. > Over the past few days I have tried to engage with Lemmy about these posts in private, as I was sure it must be a misunderstanding. > However, Lemmy said that "none of the posts you linked are against our rules", and refused to even discuss the actual issues because "this format is not conducive to political disagreements". I personally am not a great fan of Stalin, and am more likely to celebrate his death than his birthday, but the idea that this constitutes a "human rights, oppression" problem, or any sort of problem at all, is insane.
