There is nothing that links to @[email protected] there.
Ask yourself: what is this person gaining from spreading misinformation and trying to make people to hate Lemmy developers?
Since you didn't notice that in that post /u/parentis_shotgun claims to have made Jerboa and links to it - which links to github.com/dessalines/jerboa - you're not very observant so I'll provide you with some alternative posts as evidence.
Step 1) Visit /u/parentis_shotgun's profile
Step 2) Old PgDn to load some posts. Find the one that says nothing but "Yes" on it. This post specifically.
Step 3) Click
Context
to see which question it is answeringStep 4) Read the question: "Wait a second, are you the same dessalines that narrated my The State and Revolution by Lenin and Fascism: What it is and how to fight it by Trotsky?"
Step 5) See /u/parentis_shotgun's response: "Yes."
"Misinformation".
What exactly do you get out of defending Tankies?
E:
Alternative route #1: Find parentis_shotgun's post about creating thumb-key - a privacy-conscious Android keyboard made for your thumbs. Notice it links to a Github profile for dessalines.
Alternative route #2: Find this post where they keep their "communist 101s" on dessalines.github.io/essays/
Nadya you are really persistent :) kudos to you
You even get a second reply. Because....
Even if there wasn't enough evidence that dessalines is parentis_shotgun - it doesn't matter! dessalines does not deny being a Tankie and makes no efforts to hide their political thoughts. You can go to lemmy.ml and read through dessalines posts. Find the one where they say "I'm not exactly hiding my politics" and link to their essays on Github. Or you can just go to the essays from their Github profile after confirming that the dessalines that is a Lemmy dev is the same dessalines that is admin on Lemmy.ml and find the link to their essays that way.
There you can see they attempt to answer many questions. Some generic to Communism - but many more defending Tankie talking points such as:
Where they link to articles that deny the genocide.
And also defend Stalin by linking to revisionist propaganda:
And deny that the Cheka secret police murdered millions of people as ordered by The State:
They deny the Tiananmen Square massacre - calling it a propaganda hoax:
Their defense of China's 1-child policy? "60,000,000 girls weren't killed from infanticide. Only 35,000,000 were." and they provide no other explanation for the severe gender imbalance that China has:
There isn't any need to prove that dessalines is parentis_shotgun in order to claim that dessalines is a Tankie. dessalines is very openly a Tankie. One only needs to read the political thoughts that they openly share.
