    Copy pasting from a comment below

    @fxomt@lemmy.dbzer0.com explanation

    FYI goat, i downvoted the post you screenshotted because the person, @isolatedscotch@discuss.tchncs.de, made this disgusting comment and got permabanned on LW + here for it. He’s a horrible person, which is why i downvoted his post. Not because of the content.

    I am not a tankie, not even hexbear/ml users consider me as such; I’ve also seen other stuff about me being a Soviet apologist (?) Which, no, from using the search feature, I have not it seems. Unless they’re including the time I was being nice to cowbee… ? Either way I personally do not have a positive opinion of the USSR but I really don’t want to get into that here.

    I have also had a conversation with cowbee themselves once where I told them I disagree with them with the USSR, China and Ukraine about a week ago, so no, I am not an apologist for the Soviet union.

    From @unruffled@anarchist.nexus

    To be clear, if I haven’t been already, I 100% condemn China’s actions towards the Uyghurs. Is it technically a genocide? Depends what definition you’re working with, but to my mind it meets the definition.

    On the other hand the single mod on !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works seems quite ban happy lately, and resorting to debatable arguments

    My community is also bigger lol

    And the amount of posts on !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works by that same single mod is concerning. How many of those do they need make, reusing the same screenshot ad nauseam when Unruffled recognized that China’s actions towards the Uyghur meet the definition of a genocide (see comment above)?

      “They walked it back after being called out with a half-assed ‘Well, I think it meets the definition, but the West is worse so it doesn’t matter!’ after spreading common fuckwit fascist talking points and denying genocide, whilst simultaneously praising denialism of that same genocide and allowing genocide denial in comms they moderate, clearly they didn’t mean it”

      Yes, clearly. /s
