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

    Very salty we called out their love of fascists on their community, and swears db0 is the evil group for proving it.

    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.

    Goat is a trash mod and really should be blocked by everybody so they can exist in their own lemmy echo chamber that they desire.

    I mean the genocide denial and apologia wasn't enough?

    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.

    The drama may be entertaining but it doesn't bring out the best in anyone. I get it, though, I've been there. I'm trying to raise my browline just a little.

    I’ve posted on there before but that’s just dumb and petty. Guess I’ll unsub

    That whole sub always seemed dumb and petty tbh

    I feel like it matters less now that piefed’s a thing. Before that I think it was good for there to be a place where people could see what the devs of the platform they use believe. Now there’s an alternative

    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.

    It also just makes it seem like they’re all crazy for the people who are on an instance that doesn’t federate with them when really any sufficiently large collection of people is going to get some idiots.

    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.

    Think it's my time to stop using MoG, because this is just stupid and ridiculous behaviour. While I despise authoritarians, I do not wish to be involved in a community run by someone who acts as petty as this.

    Libs gonna lib. Not comrades but crypto-fash. The lib version of "anti-communist action". Literally why we have fascism.

    Call out his admiration for fascism, history of being on nazi websites, and wanting to force gore porn onto people.

    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.
