Dessalines and Davel are the reason Lemmy has the poor reputation that it does outside of here. People check out Lemmy from elsewhere, make the mistake of committing wrongthink on a .ml comm, get banned, and end up quitting the platform entirely and telling everyone else about how they were mistreated. It’s not welcoming, and makes it more difficult for the platform as a whole to grow.

And, of course, being a Lemmy developer, Dessalines is also stifling its development by wasting their time banning people and hunting for dissenters instead of letting their moderators do their job.
