cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/46134617

So I found an article about a journalist losing his job for asking why only Russia should pay for reparation and not Israel too . The comments is full of apologia for genocide, so I start answering multiple comments. The mod givesomefucks banned me claiming that I am spamming in an old post but the post is new

my edits aren't federating, so I'm putting this in an extra comment:

Immediately after posting this they deleted their post, here it is for posteriority:I wouldn't trust anything coming out of db0. https://feddit.uk/pictrs/image/06c1bd66-ed74-4b03-ab23-0949018750c2.gif It's a neo-nazi psyop

and their other posthttps://annihilation.social/notice/B5kKSTU3vBt4xby6gi Edit: Oh funny that, db0 admin saw my post and don't you know it, the post on the website is gone

Please view this comment on blahaj in case I have edited it, edits don't seem to be federating for some reason. Link here.

Since edits arent federating and I can't reply to the users who are raising concerns I'll have to add another comment. The link Sleerk provided was (and is) a dead link. The thread which I believe served as the template is under another id I archived it above, you can also go to the site directly by just removing the archive.org link in front of it. To recap:

  • 28.04.26 09:23 UTC Sleerk posts screenshot of nazi website annihilation.social claiming there is a nazi conspiracy to enter dbzer0 by means of selling antizionism as antisemitism. (Also mentioned in this screenshot are quokk.au and lemmy.world).^[https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/41865359/20259809]
  • 28.04.26 10:07 UTC db0 (the admin) sees this^[https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/41865359/20260054]
  • 28.04.26 18:38 UTC I ask for a link to the source^[https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/41865359/20265779]
  • 28.04.26 18:53 UTC They provide a link^[https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/41865359/20265993]
  • 28.04.26 18:57 UTC I see it and say there is nothing there^[https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/41865359/20266029]
  • 28.04.26 23:02 UTC They edit the post and claim db0 saw it and therefore must have deleted it^[again https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/41865359/20265993]
  • 29.04.26 10:40 UTC I post my comment claiming the screenshot is fake and post a different link to a thread that looks very similar to the one in the screenshot^[https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/41865359/20274296]
  • shortly thereafter they delete their account and all their posts.

You can see sleerks comments at archive.is/S3f22 and the deleted on with the screenshot at https://web.archive.org/web/20260429110529/https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/modlog?commentId=20259809

Note that my main account is @Peter_Arbeitslos@feddit.org and that I might not answer when getting pinged on this acc. I use this account since my main account doesn't seem to federate correctly.

Since this thread is already kind of getting an investigation-thread, I would like to add what I noted. Might be more or less useful.

I first found the screenshot in https://feddit.org/post/29117468 (which I archived in the WebArchive yesterday, but which since then got some dozens more comments which now are gone). The feddit.org-admins deleted the post three hours ago.

The post was based on the thread of https://feddit.uk/post/48175747 (archived) which we are in right now.

@Sleerk@feddit.uk posted the screenshot, the post on feddit.org was created by @PosiePoser@feddit.org. The account of u/Sleerk has been deleted (archived it before that). Sleerk seemed to be an English account, but the interface language in screenshot was German. u/Sleerk joined on October 17th 2025 and posted 2 posts and 6 comments since then. u/PosiePoser is a German account that joined on October 28th 2025 and posted 3 posts and 32 comments since then. Since both accounts are (allegedly) German, are not really active and their creation dates are close together, one could conjecture that it's the same person. I would reject that claim until further evidence is given.

u/Sleerk claimed (nazi website:) "annihilation[dot]social/notice/B5kKSTU3vBt4xby6gi" to be the source of their screenshot. The screenshot's background matches the background of the nazi website. The post on the nazi website wasn't online when I checked it yesterday (21:00 UTC +1), at least it didn't load. It still doesn't load. Since the db0-admins were in the thread already, one of them could have theoretically deleted the post on the nazi website so it was gone 7mins after the links was published here. Note also that the admin may have already deleted the nazi post when the screenshot was commented, having 10 hours to do so. The theory of one db0-admin being a nazi can't be debunked just by claiming the nazi post has never existed.

(E: The nazi-thread federated on a different instance: https://web.archive.org/web/20260429141207/https://detroitriotcity.com/notice/B4hTdbuZZqyd5oGfq4)

Observations when comparing the screenshot and the link shared in the debunk-comment by mathemachristian:

  • The image and text are different (obviously), possibly changed by html-editing
  • The screenshot-thread is marked as private (?) (lock-icon) which could be the reason why one can't open it while not being logged in as one of the nazi-users. The debunk-thread is public.
  • The numbers of stars/likes in the screenshot is greater than in the debunk-link, meaning they must have been edited too
  • The screenshot-thread shows some kinds of lemmy-like thread lines on the left. In the debunk-link, they are missing.
  • Additionally the screenshot-thread has some "show more comments" stuff which also would be hard to fake with the browser-html-editing
  • The screenshot has a German interface and the background matches the background of the nazi-website
  • The screenshot actually is at least three screenshots which edited (in Gimp?) to be a single one (partly image disruption with Gimp-like background filled by white color on the edges)
  • Some comments are missing while being included in the screenshot

Question which I have: How has @mathemachristian@lemmy.blahaj.zone found the nazi-thread which matches the screenshot-thread that closely? Are the lock-icons in the screenshot prove that it's a private thread which can't be seen without being logged in? How realistic is the assumption one could edit the "thread-lines", "show more comments" stuff, lock icons, etc. just with browser html-editing?

I haven't seen perfect prove that none of the db0-admins are nazis, but seing all the evidence it seems extremly unlikely.

db0 debating about the incident (archived): https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/67963752 https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/67969013

Sincerely, a feddit.org user who you would pobably call a "fucking zionist" and who is extremly annoyed about db0's defederation and all the leftists infights in general. At the same time, truth must be found and shouldn't be the victim of infights. After all we have much more consenus than division and we should unite in solidarity.

Alerta!

So first up I wish this kind of diligence were given to the slanderous screenshot by the admin of the feddit.org instance @Emopunker@feddit.org, instead of being very defensive about brigading in the thread were it and nothing corroborating it got posted. Anyone critical of it, who had posted in the haram comms was at risk of getting banned for brigading if they spoke against it. This brigading slander toward hexbear (and from there it gets extended to all the "tankie" instances) dates back to lemmy.world "pre-emptively defederating as a last resort"^[https://hexbear.net/post/280770]. I still have seen no evidence of it either, people post in !slop@hexbear.net but there never is any coordinated action discussed. It's the internet, people link each other shit, but there is no concerted effort.

A lot of questions should have been very apparent under the assumption that the slander were real,

  • How did this detective find a month old thread?
    ** Did they see it get posted and sat on it for a month? Why post about it now?
    ** Did they find it recently, if so how did they know where to look?
  • Why archive via screenshots? Anyone looking to prove something on the internet would use an archival website. Certainly someone who is so invested as to go undercover on nazi websites.
  • Why were they on the nazi website? To protect what community?

Like do you not see why I have nothing but contempt for feddit.org??

Secondly the draconian instance-bans for wrongthink are used to loosely. I couldn't participate in the piefed.social thread^[https://piefed.social/c/fediverse/p/2021029/feddit-org-pushes-falsified-screenshot-portraying-dbzer0-as-nazis-bans-users-for-questi#post_replies] which I found out when I saw a comment I made not federate. Why was I banned from there? I dunno, the modlog doesnt even list a reason. Furthermore all the feddit.orgers and piefed.socials are not able to see this debunk and the conversation around it because my replies won't federate to them since I've been instance banned.

On to the actual topic, I don't know if @PosiePoser@feddit.org and @sleerk@feddit.uk are the same person, it certainly seems suspicious but ultimately, who cares. The troll likely already has another 3 alts up and running and already posting under them to make them seem legit since deleting the feddit.uk one, all while eating some watermelon. Feddit.org'ers however should ask themselves if they are willing to believe that @PosiePoser@feddit.org just randomly stumbled on this thread and posted it to the a lot smaller !fediversede@feddit.de sub and not the bigger comms to expose the antisemites to the largest audience possible. If they think that @PosiePoser@feddit.org is a troll why would they choose feddit.org as the instance to make the drama bigger?

One more thing to add to the suspicion is this quote from @PosiePoser@feddit.org ^[https://web.archive.org/web/20260428192611mp_/https://feddit.org/post/29117468/12750481]

They call this post part of the White Lion operation which is a coordinated infiltration and “entryism” campaign organized by far-right actors on the Fediverse

Who is they? Does @PosiePoser@feddit.org have inside info? You can search for "white lion" on annihilation.social and it's nearly unused. "Operation white lion" is what the pissraehellis called their terror attacks on Iran. Why focus on this tidbit, and why keep stoking the flames with this patently untrue phrase?

Since the db0-admins were in the thread already, one of them could have theoretically deleted the post on the nazi website so it was gone 7mins after the links was published here.

Then @sleerk@feddit.uk could have posted a link to one of the instances federating with annihilation social surely? You know, instead of nuking their account? Also db0 saw it 8 hours before they linked it. Either the link was already dead when posted or somehow db0 deleted it within the 10 minutes between them posting it and me clicking on it. There were so many options available if the screenshot were true.

The theory of one db0-admin being a nazi can’t be debunked just by claiming the nazi post has never existed.

We can also look at all their past behavior spanning years. They basically built this community from way back when and all this to do what exactly? Push antisemitism? Well, where is it then? Also I go beyond "claiming" that the nazi post never existed, I post the exact (and what I would consider pretty compelling) reasoning. Furthermore, within minutes of me posting this, the entire account gets nuked. Idk, if I was on a crusade against an antisemitic admin I would not give up at the first sign of resistance. But maybe I'm built different (I'm not).

  • The screenshot-thread shows some kinds of lemmy-like thread lines on the left. In the debunk-link, they are missing.
  • Additionally the screenshot-thread has some “show more comments” stuff which also would be hard to fake with the browser-html-editing

These are fixed to match up more closely with the troll's screenshot when you go click on the cog in the top right of the website and under "Posts Look & Feel" > "Conversation display style" select "Tree-style"

  • Some comments are missing while being included in the screenshot

I'm assuming the above action fixes this as well since the threads match up perfectly.

  • The screenshot has a German interface and the background matches the background of the nazi-website

Again the cog, at the very top select "Primary language"

  • The screenshot-thread is marked as private (?) (lock-icon) which could be the reason why one can’t open it while not being logged in as one of the nazi-users. The debunk-thread is public.

That's the one that I haven't been able to solve, my best guess is, when registering there is a text that says "accounts inactive for a week get purged", well they dont get deleted since I see some are still up (go to the welcome bot and look at some old profiles) so my guess is they can no longer post?? I don't think that website has a private section, it's simply a "free-speech" everything legal goes instance that's horribly unoptimised. It runs on some mastodon-like fedi software and the posts coming in from other instances would have to be marked as secret on their servers as well somehow, I don't think there is anything that isn't publicly viewable.

How has @mathemachristian@lemmy.blahaj.zone found the nazi-thread which matches the screenshot-thread that closely?

So the site is horribly unoptimised and I brought my laptop almost to a freeze, but I figured out that entering people into the search would show up toots (or whatever they call them over there) where they are replied to. It doesn't just search text bodies. So I entered the three usernames "dc5fan frondeur arm_barbarian" and when I saw the reaction emoji I already had it, there really was no deep-dive necessary and that should give the people that forgo basic fact-checking and just take a screenshot at face-value a really big moments pause to think. This wasn't hard.

Sincerely, a feddit.org user who you would pobably call a “fucking zionist” and who is extremly annoyed about db0’s defederation and all the leftists infights in general.

I don't know why you think you'd get called a "fucking zionist", but anyone who is willing to accept that Pissrael will not cease on their almost 80 years of genocide by peaceful ways, that armed resistance is as necessary in Palestine as it was in South Africa is pretty much on the right side of this. Just listen to what the oppressed are saying and stop worrying about the oppressors for one hot minute.

Also I'm sorta sorry about the some of the snark since it will be detracting from my point somewhat, but it's pretty sad to see people fall for such a simple troll so readily. Almost like they wanted it to be true.

Oop posieposer is deleted now too, how weird

Thank you!!! You did a lot of the work I still wanted to do, unfortunately between uni, lnaguage learning and being a dad there isn't much time, I'll answer more in detail sometime at latest tororrow.

I found hte thread by searching "dc5fan frondeur ram_bambam" (or wzatever the nare was) and scrolled through the dozen or so results till i found one from jonny with the matching reaction emoji

i thought to do this as my suspicion grew twe more i thounht about it, you can see the point where i grew vers suspicious in the corment below the dead link

Also i didn't get notified by a reply but hte ping, federation is being very weird. Also apparently i'm instance banned from piefed.social? Dunno why, wrongthink probablyü

~~It seems the blahaj links don't work anymore~~

Wait no nevermind. Tesseract frontend is fucking up the URLs

I really love the quotations markdown, more frontends should implement it tbh
