Chud has meltdown when free thing reminds him about material conditions of labour. Go to Twitter then dude like shut up.

No need to get upset over it, dismiss the banner and move on.

When Wikipedia asks you for donations every year do you get all pissy and call the staff volunteering their time with various stances and opinions useless folk that don’t bring new features to it? When a food bank you donated to sends a thank you and asks if you can donate more, do you suggest their work is worthless?

Go ahead and use, support and recommend Piefed if it’s better for you, sure. Block nutomic, dessalines or all of lemmy.ml if you don’t like their opinions or moderation policy, absolutely. But IMO, throwing shade and disrespect towards the people that built the software that Piefed was born out of is uncalled for. The way Lemmy and the Fediverse is set up, you can use the infrastructure without any real association with its founders.

left wing political views like saying genocide is bad.

what the fuck?

Maybe you should try https://piefed.ca/

They made this. It’s free. They’re asking for donations.

Maybe try not being a reactionary piece of shit for three minutes for once in your life and realize the very software you’re using is the result of leftist ethos and ethic. Dumbass.

What an I missing?

The message should have been an opt in for admins.

Viewing genocide as bad is not a ‘left wing’ political view… You could be firmly into capitalism and still believe that genocide is bad. You could be fully into communism and think genocide is a stellar way to advance your goals. Socialism is left, in it’s many forms, including things like universal healthcare, education, etc. Communism is extreme left. As long as someone believes that more privatisation or a more open market is the way to solve social issues, they are right of centre regardless of whether they think that slaughtering a group of people bad or not, or think that the environment needs to be protected. ‘Left’ is the economic way in which one goes solving social issues, not just believing genocide is bad or that climate change is an issue to be addressed.

Use healthcare as an easy example: People of many different political viewpoints can agree that healthcare is important to society as a whole. A left wing approach to this would be to create a universal centrally run healthcare system that treats everyone equitably, accepts that some people will use more benefit than they pay, and others will pay more than they use, but overall society will be healthy and everyone pays less in general as a result and lives in a place where people suffer less and are happier. A right wing approach would be to allow private companies to provide healthcare incentivised by the ability to earn a profit, and let them figure out how to deliver that service, maybe the government steps in to try and regulate different industries, provide tax breaks or investments, or otherwise try and coax them to provide a better service or prevent them from being too greedy.

Just simply believing in a social cause does not make one ‘left’. It’s all about the implementation of the solution that counts. The Democrats in the US are quite right of centre, and the US has spent generations trying to violently overthrow and prevent social governments from forming and spread their propaganda far and wide that anything left of centre is full blown authoritarian communism.

Lenin and Stalin were very very left. But they were filthy butchers who went on a slaughtering spree and did much more harm than just their ideology. Viewing genocide as bad as just a ‘left’ wing issue completely dilutes what ‘left’ is. That’s how our political parties keep moving right.
