    I’ve restored it. I don’t think merely calling someone a “tankie supreme” is harassment. I suspect the mod in question saw a report without context and acted on it. Not quite sure how this fits the MOG concept, but you do you.

      That’s… supposed to be better? Removing a comment because it was reported without even fucking checking the comment? Though even that makes no fucking sense in context.

      Any other Uyghur genocide denialism you’d like to upvote while JAQing off?

        The irony is that as far as I can tell, none of the actual trolling comments that I reported (I think there were two of them) were actioned.

        I see the hexbear bad faith has rubbed off on you. Sure mate, that’s exactly what was happening. :D

          A user criticized a tankie.

          A user had their comment removed.

          There was no reason to remove the comment, as you yourself admitted in restoring it.

          So someone was censored… for criticizing… a tankie.

          It’s also curious that you would say that “Hexbear bad faith” has “rubbed off” on me, considering I don’t go to Hexbear or even post on an instance which is federated with them, whereas you are an ardent and vocal advocate for the federation of Hexbear with your instance and openly praise the genocide deniers on Hexbear as preferable to the ‘turbolibs’ on .world.

          One might suspect that the bootlicking pro-genocide energy of Hexbear has ‘rubbed off’ on you.

          Currently not taking action advice from people voting for genocide.

          Yes, I’m well-aware that you think endorsing the genocide of marginalized folk is okay so long as you don’t have to spend any of your precious energy on the crime known as ‘voting’. Also, cute that refraining from supporting Uyghur genocide, something that would cost you nothing (except, perhaps, whatever feelings of contrarian smugness you get from supporting a genocide that ‘the libs’ don’t like), is advice that you’re explicitly choosing not to take. I guess endorsing state-sponsored genocide is just too much fun for a self-proclaimed ‘anarchist’, huh?

          Enjoy your privileged middle-class existence. Some of us have to fucking struggle in this country to stay alive. But as long as you can jerk off with your online friends as to how pure you are, no number of minorities or LGBT folk being murdered by fascists matters.

                  Being a ‘debate pervert’ is when someone treats genocide as something serious instead of a way to score points with your online pals. Of course. If only I had realized what a game this all was, I could be like you, and join the circlejerk of pretending that politics doesn’t matter (except as a means of self-satisfaction) as people are fucking murdered because of masturbatory middle-class roleplayers like you.

                  Keep supporting fascists, buddy. It’s clearly what you enjoy most in life, considering your taste for Holodomor and Uyghur genocide denial.

        Admins have the authority to override a mod decision they disagree with. The whole thread stank but the decision is a solid one IMO.

      Maybe I’ve just been OOTL, but this whole thing has really saddened me. Because until now, I had really positive feelings towards DB0. I thought they were a good leftist instance with a focus on freedom and anti-authoritarianism. Their actions in the other thread (and, notably, where they have chosen to remain inactive), along with comments in this thread, have completely flipped that on its head. It’s feeling no better than ML.

        For the past year or so, I’ve noticed a significant number of db0 users and admins downvoting posts that are otherwise widely accepted as tankie. Often posts mentioning Davels, lemmy.ml admin and proud tankie, are downvoted by the db0 admins.

        They also regularly target specific comments and threads that are linked from their snark community. Targeting comments and threads that are critical of tankies, while commenting and manipulating their own posts that like to give Tankies the benefit of doubt, or otherwise entirely supportive of such extremism.

        I called them out on it, and they acted very predictably, doubling down on pro-authoritarian and tankie drivel.

        The admins are very quiet when it comes to criticising tankies. They even have prominent tankies, such as Cowabees, Diva, and even Davel, actively engaging in their threads and Matrix channels. They like to call us a nazi bar because one single user said the word “degenerate”, so using their own nonsense, that means they’re a tankie bar, full and through.

          DB0 honestly needs to be recognized as the instance that upgraded the tankie triad to a tankie tetrad.

          Tetrad sounds cooler too.

          This sounds like evidence against the claim, does it not? If they’re downvoting tankie content, that makes them less likely to be tankies, no?

      They seem to regard solidarity with tankies as more important than solidarity with genocided groups, at the least.

        There was a time when Holodomor and Uyghur denial was removed whenever a tankie posted it on Dbzer0.

        Apparently that time is long past, and the admins now regard Holodomor and Uyghur genocide denial as perfectly kosher, and even support it.

        I guess pro-genocide posters give more satisfying asspats than anti-genocide posters.

      lol what the fuck? @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com what the fuck gives? A known troll enters the conversation I was having with another user, spams irrelevant useless links in an attempt to refute my points, and I get penalised for calling them out?

      What the fuck does “don’t harass mods” even mean? I didn’t “harass” anybody. I called out a number of bad-faith arguments made by a user who is not even a mod.
