~~There is no indication whatsoever that @SleeplessOne1917 is the same person as @cannotsleep420~~. Jesus, people, stop pissing yourselves for the literal 30 seconds it took to fact check this bullshit claim.
*edit: I took the liberty of finding the actual dev's account: /u/[email protected]. It took a whole additional minute. You're welcome
*edit 2: /u/NOT_[email protected] has some links below that do indeed link /u/[email protected] to /u/[email protected]. Soooo, while I don't regret my nearly infinite capacity for skepticism, but it looks like this story has some legs. Hat tip to NOT_RICK, who is adamantly not Rick.
You might want to reinvestigate. @cannotsleep420 is the one that made those comments and they are a dev.
I understand that. @cannotsleep420 is still in that Lemmy update thread mentioning development to-dos.
Feel free to share that thread link. In the meantime, here's the actual dev account: /u/[email protected]. And their selfless unpaid work removing pedos from find-lemmy: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/3630011
Yeah they don’t use that account. It’s pretty clear to me they’re active on their lemmygrad account over the lemmy.ml one.
Here they are mentioning dev work:

I deleted my previous response as it was a bit dickish. I stand corrected, this is pretty strong evidence.
All good, I’ve gone after people too hard too (got a mean comment deleted yesterday in fact, I was definitely wrong). It’s good to have scruples
It's a little too easy to be mean on the internet. Human nature, I guess, when you can't see who you're talking to.
@SleeplessOne1917 seems to be their GitHub handle. You can see this by going to one of the pull requests that are linked in the thread (e.g instance block feature)
@cannotsleep420 seems to be their lemmy handle. You can see this by going to the thread link the OP posted, in which that account is commenting about the UI tweaks.
Both accounts list their location as 'Burgerland'(?) so they're most likely the same dev. Plus the 'SleeplessOne1917' lemmy handle you linked has absolutely no activity.
You can also see @cannotsleep420 crossposting earlier lemmy changelogs that mention @SleeplessOne1917...
