Second wave of pings to allies who aren't as needed, but helpful to spreading the word and counteracting claims with evidence of their harassment.

I don't think I could sleep without one last set of pings to people, the rest I will save for when I wake up in the morning and regret checking my phone.

Apologies to all involved, if someone doesn't like being pinged, please inform me and I'll remove you and try to remember for the future.

Well this just reaffirms that our community made the correct decision by differentiatingdefederating from that "legally mandated" pro-zionist instance.

TanteRegenbogen is one of the people who I would consider a major contributor of Feddit's Zionism problem. If not the main contributor.

Also MoG is a pro-Zionist shithole and goat is one of the biggest Zionist apologists I've ever met. I blocked both him and the community completely after the last interaction with him and emopunker.

I swore they're an admin and Lemmy does the thing where user privileges aren't being synced, especially since we're one-way defederated.

Also does Tanter use she/her? I'll correct my language if she does.

Just so odd that a place that is comfortable with Nazi language and making shit up on people don't like bigotry, hates leftists more than people who do genocide.

one of the 'day old' 'burner accounts' they're alluding to is introvertturtle@lemmy.zip. it is a 5 month old account that first got banned from .ml and dbzer0 for being transphobic; then they show up in meanwhileongrad the next day to complain about authoritarian moderation and tankies. they were even getting plenty of traction for the usual shitting on .ml/hexbear and calling people tankies:

but then they were way too open about their transphobia, which got their comments moderated and a 3 day ban.

mind you this kind of transphobia is not particularly anomalous over on meanwhileongrad and is usually tolerated. here's a highly upvoted thread from last year where the OP is complaining about another user getting banned for transphobia for saying that they don't believe a large portion of hexbear users are trans. the OOP said a lot of other gross shit too, which was part of why they got banned.

'i don't like someones politics so i don't believe they're trans and i'm not respecting them' is essentially the same sentiment as 'someone was rude to me so i'm not respecting pronouns'.

that particular kind of transphobia has been a pattern of behavior over there for some time, not just burner accounts.

They're alluding that very real transphobic alt account abuse is being faked by the victims of it.

Two prominent queer FAF users have been the target of bots creating accounts on other instances using their username and spewing bigotry as well as targetting them directly. Shit like this. TanteRegenbogen's indirect defense of them is saying that these targeted attacks on queer people are not real, that they are making them up, in order to create a divide between db0 and lemmy.world. Which is a ridiculous claim, completely non-sensical. It's neither necessary nor effective to make up some random alts spewing anti-queer bigotry to make LW seem like a zionist instance. The more likely scenario is that it's some 4chan or r/drama trolls (there recently was a 4chan lemmy instance spun up, filled exclusively with anti-trans bigotry). That they are trying to drive drama. Of course L.W and piefed are not helping this by actually going on the offensive whenever they feel slighted instead of deescalating and that's what they get blamed for.
