Call me crazy, but I a) think the fediverse probably doesn't have more 'toxic content', harmful and violent content, and child sexual abuse material then other platforms like X, Facebook, Meta, YouTube etc, and b) actively like the fediverse because of that.
But after a few hours carefully drafting and sourcing an edit to make it clear that no, the fediverse isn't unusual in social media circles for having a lot of toxic content, I realised that the entire 'fediverse bad' section was added by 1 editor in 2 days. And the editor has made an awful lot of edits on pages all themed around porn (hundreds of edits on the pages of porn stars), suicide, mass killings, mass shootings, Jews, torture techniques, conspiracy theories, child abuse, various forms of sexual and other exploitation, 'zoosadism', and then pages with titles like 'bad monkey' that seemed reasonably innocent until I actually clicked on them to see what they were and, well.
I decided to stop using the internet for a while.
I've learned my lesson trying to change Wikipedia edits written by people like that - they tend to have a tight social circle of people who can make the internet a very unpleasant place for anyone suggesting maybe claims like 'an opinion poll indicated that most people in Britain would prefer to live next to a sewage plant than a Muslim' should maybe not on Wikipedia on the thin evidence of paywalled link from a Geocities page written by, apparently, a putrid cesspit personified.
I thought I'd learned my lesson about trusting Wikipedia.
It just makes me so angry that most people's main source of information on the fediverse contains a massive chunk written solely by a guy who spends most of his time making minor grammar edits to pages about school shootings, collections of pages about black people who were sexually assaulted and murdered, etc, and that these people control the narrative on Wikipedia by means of ensuring any polite critics' are overcome with the urge to spend the rest of the day showering and disinfecting everything.
Wikipedia certainly isn't wrong, the Fediverse is filled with so much political extremism, made worse by the Tankie Developers

Note this person is a Zionist promoting a community where they encourage Jewish ethnic surpremacy.

Is that the same person?
I got banned by Goat for reporting that person. That person did not get banned.
So no?
I don't think the conclusion you have reached is reasonable. By the logic you are running on every community is every bad thing anyone has ever posted and every ban would be grounds for de-federalization.
You got banned for specifically using "Zio" -- A term coined by David Duke. I asked you to use a different phrase instead, such as zionist, zionazi or anything else, but you insisted on using Zio.
Your ban has expired by now anyway, I don't dish out perm-bans unless it's absolutely neccessary
For more info see my my post about previous ban there where Goat got banned on DB0 for going full Zionist himself and somehow DB0 is tankies.

Is this the part you wanted to highlight? Because this seems to be about you being a pro china genocide denier who was down voted for that point. I don't get how you are getting "full zionist" from this.
No the rest of the thread where Goat goes full Zionist.
This whole thread does not make you or the dbzer0 community look the way you hope. Honestly this reads like some hexbear level horseshit. If you have some actual evidence please just post a screen shot or a link to the actual thing you want to show us.
It is Hexbear level horseshit. Dbzer0 is federated with Hexbear and most of these users come from Hexbear or have Hexbear alts
I already did once and you tried to ignore it so go look for the rest yourself.
Are we seeing different links?
