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


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:
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!
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
c/Ihadastroke xD
on phone chlnging diaPers lol
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”[1]. 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,
** 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?
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[2] 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 !fediverse@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 [3]
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?
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.
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).
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”
I’m assuming the above action fixes this as well since the threads match up perfectly.
Again the cog, at the very top select “Primary language”
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.
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.
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.

It won’t surprise you to learn that @Emopunker@feddit.org pushes for defederating feddit.org from lemmy.ml: https://feddit.org/post/23385276
I keep forgetting that feddit.org has other admins lol why aren’t they giving emopunker a stern talking to…
!fediverse@feddit.org*
Since the screenshot didn’t specify which username the supposed nazi-admin-account has, I didn’t specify an db0-admin either. The screenshot said the infiltration would have taken a year, which doesn’t really match up to any db0-admins.
Yup, but my point was more about that the person making the screenshot probably had German as their default browser language.
About Israel: Don’t wanna discuss it since it had some really bad discussions (more like arguments) especially on db0. As for my standing: It’s quite obvious that the current Israeli government consists of a bunch of wannabe-dictators and war criminals. There’s no excuse for the genocide in Gaza and all the recent military aggressions. As much as I don’t like advocating for nations, Israel is a country and the solution can’t be destroying it or murdering Israeli civilians. Best solution would be just fucking tolerate each other (while being two sovereign nations). But no party with power in this conflict wants that. At the end it comes down to different types of powerful people profiting while civilians pay (with their lifes). Arguing for this point of view, I have been insulted way too often, mostly by people sharing 98% of my political beliefs. Useless bickering which divides leftists and therefore harms all of us. As a leftist, I regard this as a shame.
The troll accused db0 directly in the comment where they posted the dead link
As for your stance: Zionism is a jewish supremacist movement seeking to establish an ethnostate in what they claim is their holy land. This is where both zionists and anti-zionists agree:
https://sh.itjust.works/comment/24970387 (also this user is very sus to me)
You aren’t antizionist if you still support an “Israel”, the very name comes from Judaism. It’s a “Jews first” state by design.
Please note how your stance is still so concerned with the well-being of the oppressors. Nazi Germany didn’t die peacefully, Rhodesia didn’t, Apartheid didn’t and zionism won’t either. Note how you being concerned about the genociders and the victims to an equal amount has you talking more about the hypothetical victims in a successful land-back victory than the real victims that currently exist. It’s also clear that this is not “just the current israeli government”. Where is the wide-spread condemnation in society? Why aren’t the people rioting to resist the draft?
Also a very good video (and channel in general) to educate about zionism is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43JFdXCf9v4
Another good video about how apartheid is baked into the system and not just an abberation by the current occupation adminstrators https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBHAitSKtVs
Why wouldn’t the palestinians want peace? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHgZdCJOUAk (this one’s very short <2min)
If you need historical details I can recommend https://decolonizepalestine.com/ for a general overview and https://www.palestineremembered.com/WhatIsNakba.html to educate yourself on the history.
Please start looking at what the palestinians are saying about the genocide that they are the victims of. They must be centered, having them share the spotlight with their oppressors is unconscionable.
Oop posieposer is deleted now too, how weird
