A lengthy X thread posted by the antifascist research group Anonymous Comrades Collective last week claimed that Stonetoss is a man named Hans Kristian Graebener from Spring, Texas. Stonetoss cartoons, which feature simple and colorful imagery coupled with racist, homophobic, and antisemitic language, have become hugely popular among right-wing communities since they were first published at least seven years ago.

Dang. I hope someone doesn't paste this on Twitter and get it removed.

There are now hundreds of posts on the platform which name Stonetoss as [doxxedNazi]. There are also numerous accounts on the platform that changed their profile name to “[Nazi Doxxi] is stonetoss”—and they haven’t all been suspended.

Interesting: when I search the guy’s name on the dying bird site, top results are all low-view Tweets. And only found one user with the above username. Marsman really sticking up for him!

He also had a comic called Red Panels before which was even worse. Stonetoss was a rebrand to come across as less horrifically racist. The article mentions this, but I think associating his name with Red Panel is also important.

Uhh the article just casually throws out there the phrase neo-nazi homeschooling network like that is a collection of words that can exist together now. Ffs.

[-] EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world 32 points 8 months ago

Well I mean, it is. There’s a known network for homeschooling that’s based around wildly fascist views, actively teaching those values.

Yeah I think it’s under a different name but written by the same folks

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 17 points 8 months ago

😭 not clicking not clicking

[-] can@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago

It's a vice news article from last year.

[-] Smokeless7048@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

i assume thats a fake stone toss? darn its gold!

[-] glovecraft@infosec.pub 34 points 8 months ago

Of course they are. Twitter was bought by a thin skinned fascist and this is all expected behavior. It's fine to post there for initial awareness, but post your info on other sites as well. Musk can't delete threads on mastodon.

[-] Lonnie123@lemmy.world 33 points 8 months ago

Was it illegal to do what they did to the guy? Thats the only reason Elon says he would ever take any content down from X

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 61 points 8 months ago

They made a new policy just for him!

“The posts that were removed were all actioned correctly,” says Joe Benarroch, head of business operations at X, adding that the posts violated the company’s “posting private information policy” for “outing the identity of an anonymous user.”

While X does have a policy around sharing private information, the company’s terms of service on March 20 did not mention a policy related to outing the identity of an anonymous user, and Benarroch did not respond to a request for clarification. On March 21, after WIRED published this story, X updated its privacy policy to specifically prohibit posting the ”the identity of an anonymous user, such as their name or media depicting them.”

How long until PG ignores that rule when some normal, non-Nazi gets doxxed? I give it maybe 2 mooches.

[-] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 3 points 8 months ago

Americans and their mooches. Why not join the rest world and tell time the correct, lettuces.

[-] azertyfun@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

So The ~~New York~~ Times will be banned with extreme prejudice for doxxing F1nn5ter the other day, right Anakin?

Anakin?

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 6 points 8 months ago

That didn’t sound right - it was The Times!

And of course ;)

[-] schnokobaer@feddit.de 5 points 8 months ago
[-] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Kinda surprising they didn't have a doxxing policy prior to this, no?

[-] Hominine@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Free speech^1^

[-] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 27 points 8 months ago

Two people who have no clue what free speech means.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

They don't care what free speech means.

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 20 points 8 months ago

I'm absolutely surprised that PG is protecting a Nazi.

[-] simplejack@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago
[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

So many owned strawmen.

[-] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I think Elon musk is putting all of his and X's eggs in the Trump basket. He is betting on Trump winning the election, X being the mouthpiece of the new system of government, and himself, Tesla, SpaceX, powerwall, and all of his other looney ideas being the beneficiary of government contracts and favors from the new regime just as looney as he is.

I wouldn't be surprised if he had this in mind for a long time. That's probably ascribing him more intelligence that he has, but it goes with his Bond villain persona. Maybe it's why he bought Twitter at a loss.

[-] asteriskeverything@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

Trump is nothing to men with that kind of wealth and power. Especially one so bad at everything he does.

Nah Elon is 100% another crazy narcissist with too much money, power, and yes men.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
