Just want to share this here because I think it’s kinda funny.
I joined the iiSU (emulation frontend) discord server a while ago, but never really interacted there. A big controversy popped up yesterday about some nazi imagery and transphobic content, followed with an apology that’s read a bit like a deflection really.
Ever since the server has been freaking out in all directions in the text channels, me and other users are calling for better moderation and for the channels to just be locked til they figure things out.
There’s a bunch of transphobes, zionists and nazis there, with basically no action being taken.
A nazi fucker starts using antisemitic emotes and language, I call for their ban for being a nazi, they don’t deny and then accuse me of being a communist and laughs at it, I tell them to follow their leader, I get immediately banned lmao.
The dude posted multiple antisemitic comments, but I guess telling a nazi to follow their leader is too much lol.
Edit: Looks like more stuff happened to the project in the meantime. The Memory Core just posted reporting that the head of the project, Usagi, stepped down, among other news regarding the project.
Edit 2: There’s grooming allegations you can find on this megathread, fucking hell.
Yeah, that sucks. To be fair this is all very recent, so it’s best to wait a couple of days to see what happens next, there are queer people in the development team after all.
Honestly, my biggest concerns outside what I just talked here is that the project won’t be FLOSS, which is a death sentence if problems happen, and that I doubt they will be able to properly implement all the features they recently showed up in their showcase. If they can’t even do basic moderation of a discord server, how the hell are they gonna handle all the social features promised?
