Feddit.org has been promoting a fake, libelous edited screenshot as proof of dbzer0 being a Nazi instance.

This has now been proven FAKE with a working WayBack Machine link.

Compare the users, the @'s, the emojis. There are a few differences as this was taken later, but this is the original post that was modified to show dbzer0 and quokk.au as being targetted by Nazis.

Here is where Feddit.org has been promoting this lie, with the full backing of the admins.

I have recently been banned from Feddit.org due to their admins lying and dismissing of my questioning the legitimacy of this post. See YPTB post here

The responsibility for these lies and the accusations of calling people nazis falls squarely on @Emopunker@feddit.org shoulders.

    Ya, the tribalism is much more intense, probably because we all have the @instance next to our name. I cringe so hard when I see people say shit like “typical .ml user” and the like. Most people just join an instance randomly, it’s not like there’s a political pledge they make you sign when you do or something.

    I do think this current situation is kind of fucked up tho. Calling an admin a Nazi with doctored photos.

        I joined them when Reddit started showing signs of pissing all over themselves. I went there because i had discoverability issues on my Mastodon trial. After about a month of .world issues with them and their groups, I realized the vast majority of my content was off-server anyway to avoid the toxicity. I moved over to zip and couldn’t have been happer to out of that place.

        I mean that’s fine, weirdos are allowed to ban mainstream people from their instance. Idk i just hate the drama I couldn’t care less, if you own an instance and don’t like something ban em it’s yours. If it’s hard and wrong people get banned then sorry you aren’t good at it, find another hobby, other admins are good at it, we’ll all be fine.

        lemmy.world used to be the most vanilla of instances. I have no clue now, but it still seems to be ok.

        IDK now im on Piefed for the features. Even self hosting isnt that hard.

        Its wild to judge a person based on the instance they are coming from. Like of all the things…

      Yup. My first instance was .world because fuck it, good enough, at least it’s not Reddit. (Didn’t know about all the drama until at least a year later, too. I still probably don’t know about a lot of it.) Now I’m two-timing that one and piefed.social until I carve out the time to set up my own instance or few, maybe even one with a deluxe-tier membership with extra features.

      Um… lemmy.ml literally does do this though. :-P

      They point fingers at .ml to deflect from the fact that the opinions supposedly isolated to those instances are actually everywhere.

        For ML, and far more so HB, it’s not the content so much as the style. Also the frequency.

        Logical fallacies indeed can come from anywhere, but when the majority of content from a given source is that way… (depending on what your interests are and so what communities you are subscribed to), then it becomes a cost-benefit trade-off to block an entire instance.

        Fwiw I have rarely ever regretted blocking all users from ML - in fact only once, a message from Dessalines, for whom I would make an exception to the instance block if I could.
