For posting all the anonymous reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No bigotry of any kind, including ironic bigotry.
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target federated instances' admins or moderators.

TBH a lot of the instance is less like this than db0 himself. I don't even think he himself is a cryptofash (except by accident) but he will, from what I've seen, protect them based on in-group loyalty which really sucks.
To me he lost all plausible deniability as anything but a fascist when he started making up lies about all of us for calling out his fascist buddy.
Yes, that was the specific incident I was thinking of as well.
However, the instance as a whole actually has a lot of good people and IMO it's a benefit to be federated with them. Part of the reason he's crashing out like this seems to be that the instance is warming up to Hexbear and he doesn't like that.
Agreed, big time. Lot of cool users, but the very non-cool users are getting extra-upset that things have been warming between the two instances.
Edit: Bingo. db0 sees libs and MLs as equally vile, and is concerned that MLs are seen more positively than libs, fearing that this is pushing anarchists away from dbzer0. The admins are split on this, though, as are the mods, with db0 taking an appeared minority position on the matter.
Well, TBH I got that idea from you originally lol.
Ahh shush... that's not important lol
If we could just have on their banner that clearly saying that "the Red Army soldiers should have surrendered to the Nazis, and the fact that they didn't means the ones who were executed in captivity for being Slavs (or Jews, etc.) weren't victims of a genocide," is considered by the admins to be acceptable Discourse that we would oppose merely on a sectarian basis, I feel like it would deflate most of the popular support for db0's shit takes.
They've made being a "tankie" in some cases synonymous with being correct, seemingly only opposing it to be contrarian and even despite the broad agreement from many ideologies that the above statement is the exclusive domain of a subset of fascists.
Bingo. Using anarchism as an excuse to support the most fascist and reactionary takes and actions against the soviets (or any communist group) is anti-anarchist and pro-fascist. Truth doesn't matter for these people, what matters is whatever narrative is a rhetorically effective club.
That's not to say that there isn't legitimate Marxist or anarchist critique against AES states, of course, my point is that it's clear that a small but extremely vocal portion of users seem to proceed from the goal of discrediting Marxism and use whatever is effective in doing so regardless of validity, rather than a pursuit for correct analysis we can apply to build a better understanding of the past to inform our current practice.
