Chat is this real?

This looks like something that might upset me very much if I knew what the fuck was going on. Fortunately, I'm 100% clueless, so I can happily go about my day.

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.

Yeah,. How feddit.org was able to find this particular topic?

Image isn't opening for me, but if it is who I think it is: Unruffled is the main reason I blocked db0 a long while back.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago

It is unruffled

I don't think this is real, I had a look around and I can't find anything like it. Even if it is real, making some shit up like this is classic nazi behavior.

I feel like it is extremely likely that this is a pro-zionist, far-right psyop.

Zionists are basically fascists. For those of you who remember, the internet in the early 2010s had lots of crypto-fascists, who would pretend not to be fascist, and communicate through dog whistles. They would always act with "civility", and when they were called out as fascist, they'd be like "woah woah woah, that's some dangerous rhetoric there, bud. not everyone you disagree with is a fascist"

Zionists are operating using the exact same playbook. Do not fall for their bullshit.

The existence of Israel is dependent on anti Semitism. Even if a Jew has to spraypaint a swastika on a synagogue, if a Jew has to yell out "Kill all Jews" to stop a pro Palestine protest and get 100 of their members arrested, if the IDF has to carry out the Hannibal Directive on October 7th, it's all in the name of preserving the Jewish state of Israel.

I don't understand is there a dbzero admin in a nazi forum?

[–] tofu@lemmy.nocturnal.garden 9 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

The screenshot is supposedly from a Nazi forum and they claim to have infiltrated db0 and possibly other instances by becoming admins.

[–] Tuuktuuk@nord.pub 1 points 4 hours ago

So, is the phrase "zero governance" the problem here? What does it refer to?

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 15 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

The thing is that Nazis say all kinds of things that are supposed to make them look smart and cool to their pathetic dipshit friends.

I make it a policy to require at least one more source above "a Nazi said it."

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 3 points 9 hours ago

*is alleged to have said it. I have no idea about the veracity of this image.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 1 points 15 hours ago

How feddit.org was able to find the topic in the screenshoot?

What's a contact for this individual.
