    This screenshot is passed around a lot today. It’s hard to prove it’s authencity because it’d be very easy to just pretend you have infiltrated something and create a chat like this just to stir shit up and damage db0’s “reputation” and the trust between admins.

    The mentioned instance’s main admins should look real hard if their other admins are actually doctoring opinions by abusing their admin powers/authorities and check how they’re recruiting their admins. I would imagine it’s not super hard to get into there when moderation in the fediverse is pretty tiring and you appreciate any help.

    I don’t follow db0 or the other instances closely so idk how likely it is in this case. Just saying it’s absolutely possible but the screenshot doesn’t prove anything.

      The screenshot itself is unverifiable, but,

      If it:

      Looks like a Nazi talking point

      Sounds like a Nazi talking point

      Feels like a Nazi talking point

      It’s probably a Nazi talking point.

      These assholes using the word “Zionist” instead of “Jew” for the group of people they want to kill is Groucho-Glasses level of disguise.

        There have been plenty of users who don’t seem to quite live up to their own “I’m only against Zionism” talking point and make slip ups from time to time. I just assumed the socialists were just as prone to hate-think as their far right counterparts. I suppose it’s possible it’s just neo-Nazis, but they are finding lots of sympathy.

        Statements that are clearly against Jewish people in general are just brushed off as the fault of Netanyahu for conflating Jewish and Zionist.

          I’ve seen this a lot on the wider internet, as well. Lots of anti-Jew happening lately thanks to Israel/Netanyahu.

        The original post has been found and this is proven to be an edited image made to make anti-Zionist instances look like Nazis.

        You can compare the emoji reactions, post dates, users and the @ mentions on the tweets. There are minor discrepancies with new comments and upvotes but the overlap is too strong to be anything but the original post.

          I don’t buy it. The screenshot thread is set to private. The archive thread is open. How convenient that there was a public thread available for archiving.

            But you buy that Op found a private thread claiming dbz were Nazis?

            One that was never provided a working link for, one that overlaps nearly identically with this real link?

                Israel does not mean every Jewish person.

                To conflate the two is antisemitic.

                And what do antisemites quack like again?

                  Also suspicious is that they are now piling on the feddit.org mod in multiple threads.

                  It’s consistently db0 users and their ilk that spew hate on others. That’s the bigger telltale sign for me.

                    Suspicious they are blaming the admin who defended the misinformation, banned users for questioning it, when provided direct evidence it was fake deleted the evidence as “misinformation”, and kept the post up for hours after to help the lie spread?
