as this post pointed out, I was an asshole, And I took trolling too far, genocide denial or harming the community was not my intention as I was trying to find reasons to troll hexbear through my two accounts, I do not represent Dbzer0 or AN in anyway possible, and that post doesn’t represent my views at all, it was just a shitty attempt at humour that went too far, you could consider this an apology, you have every right to hate me, but if you all have the space in your hearts to forgive me, it would be much appreciated. then again it were probably be best to just ban me as it’s not what I want, but it’s probably best for the community, I have learned from my mistake but i’d never be able to live with it, like anyone else Im not perfect

    It’s generally not a faux pas to do some light trolling in our own comms, but it is to go and do it in their own space. Also, own your mistakes, don’t blame others like that for you own actions and especially not when it looks like snitching as well. It’s going to make it hard for m@tes to feel comfortable around you when they see you throwing others in front of the bus.

      I partly disagree with this point, only because it seems clear that OP didn’t actually know much about WW2 and therefore was encouraged by another user to engage in genocide denial without realizing. Calling that other user out is useful to everyone who doesn’t want to tolerate that kind of thing. OP should also accept their own culpability, of course.

      You of course are the instance owner, but I think people who encourage such repugnant behaviors (like whoever that is in the screenshot) shouldn’t feel comfortable if that’s how they’re going to behave, and everyone else can simply not engage in genocide denial if they want to feel comfortable.

      I agree they are still kind of deflecting, even accepting that they should out the other user.
