More posts discussing the fallout:

Dbzer0 admin claiming Uyghur genocide is ‘overblown and misrepresented’

Dbzer0 admin casually defending Uyghur genocide denial because “libs worse”, yikes

Banned from meanwhileongrad for “No db0 allowed”.

On Dbzer0, ‘harassing mods’ is when you criticize the top admin of .ml for responding to a Wiki link with a Lemmy search

Does lemmy.ml own db0? db0 denies the Uyghur genocide, begins to backtrack that maybe there are human rights abuses, and then immediately backs off as soon as lemmy.ml admin, Davel, steps in.

Tankie bar, db0, will remove your comments and ban you if you criticise lemmy.ml admin, Davel, for denying the Uyghur genocide

When the tankie bar, db0, is pushed about communists purging peasants, Davels swoops in with dehumanisation. Also, if you bring up the Holodomor then you’re a nazi.

    goat is a stupid fucking engagement troll and needs to just face the fucking wall. They literally built MeanwhileOnGrad just for engagement farming and petty drama slop. What a petulant child. Can someone tag me when I get screenshotted?

      I really don’t understand that sort of comm existing. The ones like “shit liberals say” or “shit conservatives say” make sense, because they’re saying awful, reprehensible things. But how can someone scroll through somewhere like Lemmygrad and claim that they are horrible and bad, I get the initial knee-jerk lib thing of “they support evil dictators!” but surely after reading even just a few posts, they would understand that Lemmygrad has reasons for saying the things they do and aren’t just blindly “supporting dictators” or whatever. What I’m trying to say is I feel like anyone trying to farm content for a comm like that would either realise that they are full of shit at some point, or be completely soulless and deliberately try to cherry pick and misquote people just to make them look bad while knowing full well that they are just lying about them.

        Sometimes it involves cherrypicking for when a reactionary among us says something shitty (before they get banned for saying it), and other times it’s based on reflexive reactions, “denying” this or that “genocide” or other mass-death event, for example, because to many people Stalin is Super Hitler and repeating mainstream neoliberal historiography about the Holodomor not being intentionally “perpetrated” by anyone but the kulaks (who weren’t the biggest issue, to be clear to whichever libs are reading) is the same to them as Holocaust denial. Some people have just read a hundred thousand reddit comments about Uighurs being exterminated, so when you say that that’s ridiculous and the most you can say is that there have been custodial deaths with no evidence of murder, and otherwise there were “merely” various types of repression that do not constitute genocide, well, you’re now a Holocaust denier times two, which is even worse than the normal Holocaust deniers because they only deny one Holocaust.

        Also sometimes people saying things like roux just said above you, which are genuinely unhealthy. Goat clearly needs some sort of intervention, but not a fucking execution or any kind of physical harm.
