    There was another post about goat banning every m@te they saw. They’re kinda salty about being featured on yptb.

        Apparently just being from db0 is now against the rules at MoG? TankieJerk thinks you’re a fascist now too. I don’t always agree with what you say but you’re far from being a fascist. Huge yikes from the mods of both communities.

          Thank you, I appreciate that fact at least. I don’t expect everyone to always agree with me, not even my best friends and family. I am a deeply flawed human, I’ll be the first to tell anyone that.

          But its just odd that we’re both fascists and tankies and anything else because we wanted Harris to win by calling out Trump, saying she’ll stop funding Israel, promote popular polices, etc.

          Or we’re fascists for saying China is not a holy state. Or that murder is bad no matter which side does it.

          The reasons why we’re fascist-tankies is new each time.

            When I first read there, I was also deeply offended. I now see how liberal ideas are deeply rooted in fascist thinking and now liberals are quicker to allow fascist ideology than try to get a different perspective. It’s not our fault we’ve been abused, but healing that is our responsibility.

          And then he said db0 was infested with tankies because we said that the UN and Amnesty International don’t call the Uyghur people being mistreated a genocide. We used the official terms used by official agencies, and that meant we deny genocide.

          When we agreed the Uyghurs were being mismanaged, but it wasn’t genocide because has serious implications and must be called as such when it happens (See: Palestinian, Armenian, Ukrainian), we’re somehow denying it, when international organizations don’t call it one.

            I mean, the tankies aren’t denying widespread famine or the mismanagement of Tienamin square, or reasonable criticism of Putin either. We do all have a hard time accepting even our own evidence that our own governments heavily propagandize us. Hearty disagreement may be healthy and productive, but plenty of listening and examining all available supporting and critical evidence, with plenty of time taken to consider and reconsider while asking thoughtful questions, perhaps before asking them would do us all good.

      ytpb is a fedi gem, an original content form… a place where mod misconduct can be documented on case by case basis and longitudinally. jordan lunds of reddit never face such accountability on reddit. modlog is the reason why fedi gonna win long term.

      I hope this is the drama that gets people to realize you’re a troll and a tankie sympathizer.

      If you feel like have to hide your beleifs and abuse your small amount of power to forward those beliefs then your ideology isn’t valid ffs

        This drama mostly shows that goat doesn’t apply their own principles

        Tankies never venture into this community, despite this being a place where they can freely discuss their viewpoints.

        https://sh.itjust.works/comment/21062682

        How is it supposed to be possible when people get banned just for their instance as seen in the OP

        Ironic that this is usually the type of blocking that is criticized on MoG

        .ml actually has this comm instance-blocked LMAO

        It was always petty to just go “THEY HAVE RULES OVER THERE, THEY DON’T OBEY OUR RULES!”

        Like call out Tankies, but all it did was broadcast their stupid opinions and then get mad they have their own instance, that you can block or defed if you hate them enough.

    Well meanwhileongrad was fun while it lasted I guess lol. Tell me you’re a much bigger PTB than even the accusations you got on YPTB, without telling me.

    goat’s done a couple of weird things that I have observed. I think the most notable was that they made PugJesus a mod, PJ said he didn’t want to be a mod, they left him as a mod even with him repeatedly asking not to be, and then a little while later, they made a big public show of deciding he was a Zionist and announcing they were removing him as a mod. It always felt to me like there was more going on with that story.

    Anyway yeah it sounds like he’s a tool.

        • “misgendering” -> well this one is gonna be hard to find, let’s look in the old modlog

        Really now? Your response is to turn the other cheek to civilians being gunned down on mass throughout your country? Oh, silly harmless Hamas raping women to death, stealing international civilians and slaughtering them inside of their own homes–we won’t do anything in response but give you a stern talking to

            I checked what @PhilipTheBucket@piefed.social found, I don’t think it’s as bad as it first appears.

            All of the references are from 2 years ago and a lot of information has come out since then about Israel, their propaganda, what Hamas really did and what they didn’t do or what was overblown, Gaza and the Israeli genocide as a whole.

            I will say, I have seen Goat condemn Israel and call their actions Genocide recently here https://sh.itjust.works/comment/20786914

            Furthermore, I also agree with you @PhilipTheBucket@piefed.social about someone or a group manipulating to stir the pot. It’s something the Tankie Triad has been known to do in the past and there’s no reason to believe they aren’t doing it now.

              Yeah, maybe that’s fair. On the other hand it was pretty clear two years ago that Israel was a genocidal monster, it just has become a lot more unanimous and urgent viewpoint since they started a new phase of the active genocide. But yeah, posting the thing about evacuating babies from Gaza isn’t nearly as suspect two years ago as it would be now.

              To me, the thing with PugJesus seems a lot more suspicious. That raised a ton of red flags for me, I don’t really see any reason you would do that whole sequence of actions if there wasn’t some kind of plot behind it. And then, looked at it that light, it starts to become a lot more weird for them to start this super public beef with dbzer0.

                I won’t get into the bans here since that’s being worked out in private right now.

                However, I will say that this part

                Tankies never venture into this community, despite this being a place where they can freely discuss their viewpoints.

                Is indeed true, I have personally seen Goat allow (and even participate in) well known tankies to speak in threads without bans or comment removal even when they are downvoted to oblivion. Provided they aren’t just trolling, which is quite common as you might imagine.

            Yeah, the post itself kinda rang some bullshit-alarms to me for reasons I can’t completely articulate. That’s partly why I decided to do a spot check of what it was saying. And yeah, regardless of what was there, we learned that goat is shifty in some way with his mod actions and behaviors, and also sort of at least pro-Israel-adjacent it looks like, and also apparently has some kind of beef with /0 now I guess. I still don’t completely know what is going on with them but it seems like nothing good.

            I’ve said before, I think that there are people deliberately trying to stir up inter-instance drama from time to time, spinning up genuine but pretty minor issues into reasons to create rifts between the “pro-AI” and “anti-AI” camps for example, or between the vegans and everyone else, or now (apparently it might seem) between the anti-tankies generally speaking and the dbzer0 people. That’s one explanation for why this is happening that makes somewhat more sense to me than anything else I can guess as to why goat might have started to do this. I see a whole bunch of anti-dbzer0 posts in the recent past on MOG as well. That whole “It’s all dbzer0’s fault that davel has done this” line of argument sort of reads textbook similar to ways in the past that I’ve observed people trying to get two third parties to conflict with one another.

            That’s all just random guessing, I have no idea, just throwing out one theory for why goat might be being weird in this one particular way (especially if they have history of doing other odd things.)

      Recently someone posted one of the .ml admins saying the BBC was not neutral, and the entire community went “no that’s accurate, they were told to not publish stories about Israel, have manufactured stories on Jeremy Corbyn, and constantly try to both sides transgender issues.”

      And I’m amazed goat didn’t just ban everyone there in that moment for questioning an idol of the neoliberal brainrot.

        I was mainly interested in communism as a means to work toward anarchy. But seeing the difference between the bulk of posts pushed me to the Triad, not because I’ve abandoned my dream as much as I’ve suspended it to learn more from more practical, less reactionary people with valuable insight and experience. Not that db0 doesn’t have less reactionary voices, valuable insight and experience, just more that those voices are occulted from my view because the more frequent, loud reactionaries keep them from showing up on my feed. It’s more productive and much less time consuming to just read and converse with active voices on the Triad. Plus the bulk of their time isn’t spent grousing about people who hurt their feelings or looking to the past to hang onto it, but only for historical perspective and lessons that can be applied or adjusted to modern developments.

        The post that started this from PJ was about db0 tankies.

        I don’t care enough to ask PJ but they probably recoded the accounts that were causing problems.
