    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?
