When having to admit their fault the moderator started looking for arbitrary reasons to ban me. Such as not using the exact terminology of the Amnesty report. Which does not call it genocide.


The moderator is also watching user votes, and calling out people not voting with him.

    Never mind that anarchists are explicitly anti-authoritarian, apparently db0 is a tankie now? Lol, yep checks out. Those twatwaffles think a “tankie” is anyone who is critical of the Dems, or of US foreign policy. OPs comments were also accurate imo regarding China’s influence in Myanmar being a much stronger example of Chinese imperialism.

    The libs have got some nerve getting hysterical about the Uyghurs when they obviously couldn’t give two shits about their own government (and their own party) continually voting to keep supplying weapons to Israel in order to continue its genocide in Gaza. Has China been shitty and authoritarian towards the Uyghurs? Yes, no doubt. Is it a genocide of the type and scale that Israel is currently waging? Absolutely not.

      I always said it was only a matter of time before the social fascists that call MWoG their home would turn on even dbzer0. It’s the classic Nazi bar, they outright fabricate info, erase context, welcome Zionists and other fascists, it was only a matter of time before they got even greedier and started attacking anarchists for being “tankies.”

      It’s not a coincidence that they call us “roaches” or “degenerates,” it’s because it’s a cryptofash meeting spot.

      Edit: lmao, seems I pissed off the social fascist. I couldn’t even engage if I wanted to interact with your Nazi bar, because PJ bans me from every comm they mod because they lost an argument in a comm they don’t mod. Go fuck yourself, fascist. Keep spreading hasbara, keep tending your garden of Zionists. Palestine will be free, and there’s nothing you can do to stop that.

        Can you go into more detail? I know Pug’s had some awful experiences with db0’s instance, but they’re banned and can’t share that, which I find highly suspect

            My shitty behaviour?

            How so? Was the OP not violating the rules?

            Or are you admitting that this community isn’t actually about moderator misconduct but instead a way to attack others based on their views?

              The shitty behavior was pinging an instance admin in an unrelated thread to accuse them of being a tankie for downvoting a comment. And what’s also shitty imo is claiming that folks who think the whole Uyghur genocide in China is massively overblown by the West are all tankies. It’s entirely possible to believe China is a hugely authoritarian State and also that the Uyghur “genocide” claims are mostly overblown and misrepresented by the West. I’m no China fan, but they certainly aren’t bombing the shit out of the Uyghurs or peppering civilians with grenades dropped from drones, like US-backed Israel is. You guys love the lesser evil argument, so to put it in a way you will understand: many folks think China is the lesser evil compared to the US, and that doesn’t make those folks tankies. It just means they recognise that the list of shitty things the US has done in the past 50 years far, far outweighs the list of shitty things that China has done in the same period.

                If you read my comment, you’d know the reason why I pinged, which was to lead up to my complaint about this community. That this community isn’t actually about moderator misconduct but instead a way to attack others based on their views, or in my case, just making shit up about my views despite me clarifying what they are.

                When it comes to atrocity, there’s no ‘lesser evil’ or justification or differentiation for it. There’s no excuse at all; that’s why they’re atrocities. I don’t care who they come from, if they hurt people, I don’t like them.

                  Exactly. So why rage at anarchists when fighting authoritarian states is literally our whole thing? It’s just because we are also highly critical of the US and the Dems in particular, because they are always banging on about being the “lesser evil” like its some sort of gotcha. To be clear, if I haven’t been already, I 100% condemn China’s actions towards the Uyghurs. Is it technically a genocide? Depends what definition you’re working with, but to my mind it meets the definition. Meanwhile the Dems have consistently voting with Trump to keep arming Israel, and there is no sign of them changing their position. So what irks me and others is the double standard. Most Democrat representatives have repeatedly denied Gaza is a genocide, and continue to do so, but I don’t see you banning people who attempt to downplay the role of the US in that genocide as being tankies.

                    I don’t care about the US. It’s an evil country and a third-world one at that. The world would be a better place if the government were to collapse.

                    But enough about the US and its shittiness, go back onto the topic of this community and how it conducts itself. Surely you must have a statement regarding the brigading and my criticism of this community?

          Ban was fair. Misunderstanding on my part. I think the disengage rule, while hard to locate for the average newcomer, is a decent idea.

          I was temp-banned. The only awful experience I had was the temp-ban, which was over the admins deciding that downvoting things you disagree with is, apparently, against the rules (when they want it to be).
