I’ll provide a lot of context later on; I have a busy few days, so I’ll be unavailable to engage in fedidrama.
Unlike tankies and apologists, I’ll supply full context, with absolutely everything.
tl;dr: Tankie bar.
Summarised version for now:
Db0 users and admins have been continuously defending tankies on my anti-tankie community, [email protected]. They also host tankies such as Devals, who is a lemmy.ml admin. They also host open antisemites.
Their community, [email protected], is good in concept, but in practice ends up being a snark community where they attack the moderator based on political views as opposed to whether or not the user broke the rules. Case in point, the user denied genocide, was temporarily banned, yet their snark community flocked to their defence and engaged in more genocide denialism. Any attempts of explanation and communication was met with ridicule and slander.
They then brigade, calling me, my community and random users nazis and fascists. They say it’s because one user, just one, uses ‘degenerate’ and ‘roach’ to refer to tankies. I counter, I supply evidence, I explain that tankies also use dehumanising language and as does db0’s instance, yet we get banned. So I banned them back.
If we’re nazis because one user used the word degenerate and roach, then they’re tankies for, you know, defending actual tankies lol
Perhaps this is all just a misunderstanding, perhaps it’s a series of coincidences or happenstances. But from my perspective, I got sick of their trolling and called out their hypocrisy.
To be clear, if I haven’t been already, I 100% condemn China’s actions towards the Uyghurs. Is it technically a genocide? Depends what definition you’re working with, but to my mind it meets the definition.
https://sh.itjust.works/post/45256257/20767674 : in a thread related to a ban on a dbzer0 community, you still bring up genocide denial, while you know that has been contradicted by the comment above:
Calling out hypocrisy, based on the posts above, doesn’t look the most genuine.
Note about another db0 admin clarification
FYI goat, i downvoted the post you screenshotted because the person, @[email protected], made this disgusting comment and got permabanned on LW + here for it. He’s a horrible person, which is why i downvoted his post. Not because of the content.
I am not a tankie, not even hexbear/ml users consider me as such; I’ve also seen other stuff about me being a Soviet apologist (?) Which, no, from using the search feature, I have not it seems. Unless they’re including the time I was being nice to cowbee… ? Either way I personally do not have a positive opinion of the USSR but I really don’t want to get into that here.
I have also had a conversation with cowbee themselves once where I told them I disagree with them with the USSR, China and Ukraine about a week ago, so no, I am not an apologist for the Soviet union.
