Comment on Lemmy developer, @SleeplessOne1917, argues for the killing of Israeli civilians and children

• TWeaK@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  In the recent Lemmy developer update, there’s a reference to one Lemmy developer, SleeplessOne1917.

  I found some horrifying comments from this user.

  The post then lists comments from /u/cannotsleep420@lemmygrad.ml, however the text over the name is SleeplessOne (without the number on the end). This account is also on lemmygrad, the lemmy devs’ main accounts are on lemmy.ml. Do you have anything to verify that they’re the same person, or that they are another dev? Because I see no “CannotSleep420” mentioned on the github page. The main two are actually /u/dessalines@lemmy.ml and /u/nutomic@lemmy.ml.

  Next you’ll be telling me that Hollywood actress Margot Robbie also moderates round these parts.

    You can look up my other comment for more examples, but this one is the most clear:

      They “contributed to the project”, that doesn’t mean they have any authority over lemmy development, as the top of the post is suggesting. “Contributing to the project” could mean just about anything.

      While I wouldn’t completely discount the possibility that they are the same person, this post provides no evidence of that. HOWEVER, this comment suggests they might well be!!

      TBF the future lemmy developer isn’t too far off. I’ve been discussing being added to the NLNet grant along with another person, phiresky, with Dessalines and Nutomic.

      @TokyoMonsterTrucker@lemmy.dbzer0.com you might be interested in that.

    I understand that. @cannotsleep420 is still in that Lemmy update thread mentioning development to-dos.

      Feel free to share that thread link. In the meantime, here’s the actual dev account: lemmy.ml/u/SleeplessOne1917. And their selfless unpaid work removing pedos from find-lemmy: lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/3630011

        Yeah they don’t use that account. It’s pretty clear to me they’re active on their lemmygrad account over the lemmy.ml one.

        Here they are mentioning dev work:

    @SleeplessOne1917 seems to be their GitHub handle. You can see this by going to one of the pull requests that are linked in the thread (e.g instance block feature)

    @cannotsleep420 seems to be their lemmy handle. You can see this by going to the thread link the OP posted, in which that account is commenting about the UI tweaks.

    Both accounts list their location as ‘Burgerland’(?) so they’re most likely the same dev. Plus the ‘SleeplessOne1917’ lemmy handle you linked has absolutely no activity.

    You can also see @cannotsleep420 crossposting earlier lemmy changelogs that mention @SleeplessOne1917…
