I hope this post fits the content and format of this community, if not I'm sorry.
I'm just incredibly shocked by the fact that an admin of the instance lemmy.dbzer0.com is openly supporting Hamas.
Here's a link to the comment: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/61235665/23634712
"Oh, this is calamity! Calamity! Oh no, he's on the floor!"
Welcome to MoG!
Meanwhile On Grad
Documenting hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse. Memes are welcome!
What is a Tankie?
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether it be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users, as it handwaves their extremism.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post, rather than engaging in arguments that lack mutual agreement.
Brigading/Trolling — If you're here because this community was linked in another thread, please refrain from maliciously voting, commenting, or manipulating the post in any way. This includes alt accounts. All votes are public, and if you are found to be brigading, you will be banned. Good-faith and honest communication is an exception.
Tankies can explain their views, but may be criticised or challenged for them. Any minor infraction of the rules may result in a warning and possibly a temporary ban.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically last only 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction doubles the duration. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
I'm not shocked. Dbzer0 has a severe antisemitism problem. I've been considering making a megathread about the widespread antisemitism, but that's more characteristic of Lemmy as a whole than a bunch of tankies.
That's so true, unfortunately.
par for the course with extremists. It's really curious how extremists end up being identical with their hatred and bigotry, horse-shoe theory and all that.
Bad Hasbara.
Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism.
yeah you can talk as much shit about israel as you want, don't care. but being supportive of hamas is inherently antisemitic as hamas's goal is the total genocide of jews and a global intifada.
You are parroting debunked Hasbara talking points, while completely disregarding the merits of the posted comment.
Yours is precisely the narrow and simplistic, and in your case quite apparently deliberately ignorant, understanding of politics that the posted comment rightfully admonishes.
Oh, I must've missed the Lemmy instance dbzer0 is antisemitic hasbara talking point in hasbara school.
I'll await your reply on Hamas before I take you seriously
Word salad.
Yes, salad for you. Go on a diet, eat the words.
