re: claim of devs supporting genocide.. I've seen this claim made multiple times, but never seen it backed up. Anyone have sources where they have made such statements?

The Uyghur genocide is happening, as verified by multiple reputable sources.

His "rebuttals" to the common knowledge of the Uyghur genocide occuring in China is primarily nobody commenters on Twitter/Medium, or obvious Chinese propaganda outlets. I gave up looking for reputable information in that list.

I haven't seen anything about the Uyghers specifically but you can read his views on some things here, and it wouldn't surprise me based on this: https://dessalines.github.io/essays/us_atrocities.html.
