More posts discussing the fallout:
Dbzer0 admin claiming Uyghur genocide is ‘overblown and misrepresented’
Dbzer0 admin casually defending Uyghur genocide denial because “libs worse”, yikes
Banned from meanwhileongrad for “No db0 allowed”.
On Dbzer0, ‘harassing mods’ is when you criticize the top admin of .ml for responding to a Wiki link with a Lemmy search
Does lemmy.ml own db0? db0 denies the Uyghur genocide, begins to backtrack that maybe there are human rights abuses, and then immediately backs off as soon as lemmy.ml admin, Davel, steps in.
Tankie bar, db0, will remove your comments and ban you if you criticise lemmy.ml admin, Davel, for denying the Uyghur genocide
When the tankie bar, db0, is pushed about communists purging peasants, Davels swoops in with dehumanisation. Also, if you bring up the Holodomor then you’re a nazi.
Removed false allegations against goat from a post on db0
An anarchist tankie did a write-up of the constant use of ‘degenerate’ as an insult specifically in the MoG comm
Another anarchist tankie did a write-up of the situation

Maybe I can weigh in here as a neutralish third party observer. I like goat and Pug, but I think they are taking this too seriously and being a bit too terminally online. I also like db0, but I think the accusations of them protecting tankies is credible. I think the specific accusations against Davel and uruffled are also credible, though for slightly different reasons I won’t go into here. Everyone knows tankies gonna tank.
What it comes down to is that I think there has been a real effort to bait goat and Pug into this interaction, and this kind of thing has happened a few different times with different users who have run afoul of the tankie triad. I think goat and Pug kind of took the bait and need to chill out, and I think db0 needs to be more open to the idea that a few tankie power users really are trying to manipulate large portions of the fediverse, including their instance. Tankies are a problem on the fediverse, and to some degree I do kind of applaud goat and Pug for trying to stand up to them, but now we are just into useless shit slinging meta.
More than anything though, I think this is a great example of how public voting drives this kind of toxicity.
Goat has been overreacting by banning dbzer0 users as a whole.
While I’m obviously biased, I don’t think I’ve been overreacting simply by calling out literal fucking genocide denial.
thats obviously fake, pug
