Why? Has there been a new development?
His screenshotted post is really old. Every time I've seen him say anything about trans people, he immediately tries to steer the conversation back to software. Literally the next line after the screenshot is that.
The man doesn't care about trans issues and is misinformed by the prevalent right wing misinformation. In my view, nothing in any of his statements have been driven by hate, just ignorance. His ban from blahaj is justifiable due to our strict rules, but nothing beyond that. He said one dumb thing one time. Its weird you keep bringing it up.
If nutomic's involvement in lemmy is such a problem for you, I suggest switching to piefed or something else. Other federated link aggregators are available.
Here was his response when it was brought up a few months ago while they were begging for donations: https://lemmy.world/post/29222558
Only sorry that it came out
That was 5 months ago. Not exactly new information. We had that conversation shortly after it happened.
He said a dumb thing on a topic he knew very little about. Everything he's said about trans people comes from a place of ignorance, not malice in my view. Regardless the conversation about those comments already happened. Unless he's said something new, there's nothing to discuss here.
It does show he is not going to learn from or sincerely apologize for his transphobic statement
Furthermore, I think it's perfectly fine to bring up such a problematic statement from a person, no matter how old it is, for as long as it's still relevant. Just because he isn't making statements publicly doesn't mean he doesn't still believe these things, or takes actions (e.g. voting) that supports these statements.
If he had retracted his statements, gave a sincere apology and made some effort to educate himself then it would be different. Then I'd be right along with you in stating that it should just be allowed to rest.
But given that Nutomic has clearly demonstrated that he hasn't done any of that in the time since his original statement, then it's fair game to keep such things about his character in the public mind
