Welcome!

Can you imagine, years ago how the internet was before? We know Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube. We knew blogger, Tumblr, Skyrock... and long before, it was the forum era as phpBB..and mail-lists.

And now with ActivityPub, we are reshaping the web, and achieving much more with lots of freedom. So thank you all, and welcome ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿ˜

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.

The site appears to indicate edits. The first post shows edited a week ago.

I don't know how hard it would be to manipulate that at the admin level, if it's even possible, or if any of the users in the screenshot are admins. Maybe someone that knows more about whatever platform they're using can help.

Edit: You can go to nicecrew.digital, where a couple of the posters are from and without signing in, hit explore, search posts for the exact wording for Classic Tyler's first post (I'm sending Johnny an invoice), and you'll get this thread.

You only get the nicecrew replies, the rest won't load, maybe because poa.st, where the OP is from, seems fucked up right now, maybe due to all the traffic caused by this investigation, lol.

Nicecrew.digital indicates edits with an icon. None of these posts have the icon.

Unless this is a coordinated cover-up by admins of multiple instances removing indications of editing (and I don't even know if that's possible) what you can see right now on wayback, annihilation.social, and nicecrew.digital is legit. The feddit screenshot is a fabrication.

Edit#2: You can also go to detroitriotcity.com, search for alexmussolini88's (jfc, these people) post, and get the whole thing. Again, with no indication of edits outside of the OP.

Also note that the feddit.uk which originally posted this screenshot deleted itself when this was found.

[โ€“] Loco_Mex@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And that account was created a few days before the .org account who reposted this.

That account was also inactive for basically 6 months with only a handful of comments when it was newly made.

And all the upvoters in the LW community thread were 6 month all accounts that recently became active again, that only had a few comments in ! showerthoughs beforehand.
