Guess where? Unironically r/Save3rdPartyApps

The Reddit search for Lemmy also gives these privacy copy-pasta as top results when searching for Lemmy. I'm still betting that Reddit employees are involved in boosting these posts.

The Holocaust happened. The Armenian Genocide happened. Manifest Destiny happened.

The Ughyr detention centers, whatever you think of them, do not constitute a genocide. The Ukrainian Famine was a tragic loss of life, and perhaps the Bolsheviks could have done more to prevent it, but it was not an attempted extermination of the Ukrainian people. And don't even get me started on Rwanda.

And Liberals routinely deny genocide in Palestine and Kashmir because it is politically expedient.

A blanket reproachment of "Genocide Denial" ignores the fact that sometimes, a genocide is claimed where one does not exist. I'm sure you accept that "White Genocide", especially wrt South Africa, is a conspiracy theory with no legitimacy. Why do you not give the same benefit of the doubt to China, or the USSR?
