Thanks. I’m going to unsubscribe from communities hosted there. Might eventually block their instance.

Edit: as per the replies, I am not so sure now. I will look into the details when I have a chance.

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, !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works. They also host tankies such as Devals, who is a lemmy.ml admin. They also host open antisemites.

Their community, !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com, 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.
