They specifically address this in the article and say it isn't true.

On another topic, there are rumors circulating that we are fascists or supported genocide. These claims are completely false, and like most viral twitter threads, are coming from a single Mastodon user on a personal vendetta who didnโ€™t provide any sources. Such slander doesnโ€™t deserve any response and is best left ignored.

Here is Dessalines denying that any genocide is taking place: https://lemmy.ml/comment/471382

They can say "we don't support genocide" all day long, but denying that any genocide is taking place and actively trying to persuade others that no genocide is happening isn't any better.

I argue that it unintentionally supports a genocide since they're using a platform to (inadvertently) hide the genocide from the public by convincing others that nothing of the sort is happening.

Weird, I just went to it and it seems to work. I'll SS it and post it in my comment for ease.
