I was just perusing the modlog when I noticed something interesting. Apparently posting news about Gaza/Palestine is not allowed on !worldnews@sh.itjust.works. I decided to check the side bar and didn’t see anything. The only pinned post also does not indicate that this is not allowed
edit: the mod in question is @Eyekaytee@aussie.zone . sorry for not originally tagging. i hadn’t realized it was a rule that this must be done. i thought it seemed inappropriate since i was trying to initiate a conversation about a community’s rules and culture rather than start drama about an individual
I’m locking this post. This discussion has run out of its course and this comm is not the place to argue politics. Take it elsewhere please.
sh.itjust.works is a Nazi bar. There are some good users, but they have the most zionists, pro-imperialist users, mods, admins, etc.
PTB.
Typical Liberal hellhole, they constantly hit left and demand everyone give in to fascism and then claim somehow everyone else is dividing the left
Yep, Eugene V. Debs’ Ghost even pointed out how someone linked evidence of goat’s transphobia, then goat went and edited it away to hide it.
It was transphobia to be more exact. @princessnorah@lemmy.blahaj.zone gave a link to Goat being transphobic while claiming to stand for trans people. Goat edited the link after months, after she posted the evidence.
Ah, my bad, thanks for the correction! I’ll fix my comment.
I find personally people who are happy to see Palestinians die generally arent to fond of any other minorities (shocker)
Punch left, cater to the right. Then wonder why the left doesn’t trust them, as they vote in fascists with a better PR campaign.
It’s amazing how goat is just here to get attention while saying it’s to clear their name but only makes themselves look worse
Yep, they revel in the drama. Judge me by my biggest haters.
Honestly wonder if mwog was made specifically because of a slight they received on a grad comm or simply because they love attention
The latter, goat’s a cryptofascist.
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.
-Jean-Paul Sartre
I’m not a cryptofascist.
If anyone’s a cryptofascist, it’s you, defending Russia and supporting Putin’s goals of reimplementing the USSR through imperialism and the war against Ukraine. You’re even doing so in this very thread.
If Putin actually wanted to reimplement the USSR, then it would already be socialist. You’re absolutely a cryptofascist, you cape for Israel, attack communism and communists, and host a Nazi-bar.
So why are you defending Russia if Putin is supposedly not wanting to reimplement the USSR? (He is)
Link me to where I have attacked communists, since I’ve defended communism, much to the dismay of my community
But you’re not a communist, Cowbee, you’re an authoritarian tankie.
They didn’t make MeanwhileOnVoat or anything similar. There’s a reason why they don’t like one extremist group above another.
MoG was created to highlight hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse.
Extremism should always be called out wherever it may be
So a snark space?
We don’t interfere with threads or users and have strict rules against it.
It’s more of a snark space that the one you call snark spaces
Keeps posting their own ass, people call them out, posts ass more. Rinse and repeat.
Them making up rules in this comm then being upset no one wanted to use them wasn’t on bingo card.
Yeah that’s embarrassing. Trying to get this post removed by making up rules, because they are being exposed for their bad faith arguments again and again.
Ah, this is Cowbee
He is openly a tankie, who defends Imperialist China, actively calls users critical of the CCP racist, and defends dictatorships like North Korea
You can read a lot of his takes here, he is an extremely hateful person who spreads misinformation and tankie slop.
I’m a communist, and I support socialist states. I don’t hide my positions, I have always been honest and forthright with them. You’re a zionist stalker that revels in drama farming.
China isn’t imperialist as it isn’t driven by international extraction or export of capital, nor is it dominated by a financial oligarchy. The user I reported for being racist wasn’t criticizing the CPC, they made a racist rant about how Chinese people live in filth, eat fake meat and fake tofu, can’t build anything, and more. The moderator of that comm sided with the racist that sounds identical to how the French spoke of Africans during colonialism.
Ah, why is it you defend Russia? Russia is an oligarchy that finds its riches in oil and fossil fuels. They’re not at all socialist.
I don’t think Russia has a good economic model, nor would I want to live there. I do think it’s forced strategically into trade with socialist countries, which is why it has a good relationship with countries like Cuba, and is working against western imperialism, which is the largest obstacle in the way of socialism worldwide. Additionally, support for socialism is rising over time:
So no, I don’t somehow think Russia is socialist still, but at the moment socialist countries benefit massively from Russian trade and from temporary alliance against the west.
Oh, Cowbee, you and your statistics! How disingenuous you are.
For starters, that sample size is minuscule at only 1000.
And unsurprisingly, more countries think the dissolution was a bad thing than a good thing. Of course, Russia thinks the USSR was good, they were the oppressors. Life under the Soviet Union was grossly oppressive for the peasants, and especially if your country was the victim of Russian imperialism. You couldn’t speak ill of the leaders, you had zero representation, and you faced the risk of your livelihood being ripped from you at any point. Your indigenous culture was even suppressed because it was considered anti-Soviet behaviour. There you go defending imperialism again, Cowbee.
And mind you, this is a survey before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine!
You’re right, that data is from before the Russo-Ukrainian war. It’s even higher now.
-
The expansion and astronomical growth of grassroot movements like the Inmortal Regiment. This movement grew so large that plenty of countries around the world organized a similar march. It started small until it grew in a international movement.
-
The imperialist siege intensified and forced Russia to look elsewhere which lead to their economy into allying with plenty of the global south. This allowed more cultural/ideological exchanges with China , Belarus, Cuba, Vietnam and the DPRK.
-
There are now Russian grassroot movements that boost programs such Youth exchange with Cuba and the DPRK.
Further, the USSR wasn’t imperialist. It had a publicly owned economy, and didn’t base its economy on international extraction. The peasantry saw dramatic material improvements, it was the kulaks, bourgeois farmers, that were oppressed. For the peasantry, they saw a doubling of life expectancy, massive development, free and high quality education and healthcare, a tripling of literacy rates, and more. National identities were preserved and strengthened, while trying to develop an internationalist “soviet” identity compatible with all.
Overall, the majority regret the dissolution of the USSR.
What are these sources, my man? You gonna link to RT News next? Am I gonna need an antivirus to check these out?
And again, no shit, Russia would want more soviet union, they were oppressors and imperialists. And the majority of countries do not regret the dissolution. And hey, glad you mentioned the DPRK. You must hate North Korean soldiers fighting for Russia against Ukraine, yeah?
sh.itjust.works being reactionary, kinda typical.
Ik2 the racist and Zionists comm? Not surprised.

Is just that comm shitty or should the instance be avoided too?
The instance is a Nazi bar, the two biggest comms are circlejerks for anti-communism and pro-western imperialism. There are some good users on occasion, but the instance itself is very reactionary.
My community, !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works, which Cowbee loathes – Is not anti-communism and not pro-imperialism. We are anti-imperialism, unlike Cowbee, who defends Chinese Imperialism.
It documents hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse.
It’s definitionally an anti-communist circlejerk, that’s its entire point. I am a communist, so I do oppose your anti-communist stalker-farm. There’s constant dogwhistling, defense of zionism, transphobia, etc from that cesspool of a comm.
There are communists within !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works and the community itself allows communists and communist theory. It’s a diverse community where people are free to discuss different topics, unlike your spaces, which regularly censor dissent and criticism.
And you are not a communist, Cowbee, you’re a tankie, you’ve said so yourself.
But tell me, where is this supposed dogwhistling, where is this defence of Israel’s actions, where is this transphobia? I’ll look into it for you
The community of MWoG exists purely to attack communists. I have always said I’m a communist, you can read the screengrab yourself to see:
In that “tankie” is just a pejorative for a communist, yes. I’m a Marxist-Leninist, and I uphold AES as legitimate.
Workers of the world, unite! ☭
For those who don’t know what a “tankie” is, it’s essentially a pejorative for “communist.” I recommend the Prolewiki article on “Tankies,” as well as Nia Frome’s essay “Tankies.”
As for transphobia, here’s your server admin pushing transphobic conspiracy theories in your comm:
As for Zionism, here are your own posts and comments:
You’re in a tankie instance, Cowbee; you hang out with tankies and repeat tankie talking points. You are a tankie and you’re not fooling anyone with your disingenuous fantasies about being a moralist, if you were, prove it now by criticising the Russian government, or better yet, Chinese imperialism.
You won’t, because you are a tankie.
As for Imaqtpie, I do not approve of him. I have quite the turbulent history with him.
I’ve also been more supportive of trans-rights and gender recognition than you have, Cowbee.
Oh, and even more, the lemmy developers, admins of the instance you use, lemmy.ml, are also transphobic, which is what imaqtpie was agreeing with, funnily enough.
That didn’t work out too well for you lol
“Tankie” is just a pejorative for communist, it isn’t an ideology. Call me “tankie” all you want, but at the end of the day I read Marxist-Leninist theory and volunteer for a Marxist-Leninist org that has stances in line with the rest of Marxist-Leninist organizations. You can’t claim to not be an anti-communist, you maintain an anti-communist comm and oppose communism.
Secondly, showing a handful of times you’ve spoken about sex and gender doesn’t mean you’re more supportive, especially since I have already explained that I disagree firmly with Nutomic:
Communists tend to be the most supportive of trans liberation, I recommend reading Feinberg’s Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink or Blue as well as Nia Frome’s The Problem of Recognition in Transitional States, or Sympathy for the Monster. None of this is to defend Nutomic’s views as stated here, I firmly disagree with them. However, the idea that communists are supposed to be transphobic is just not true, generally. Cuba even has one of the world’s most progressive family codes, and the GDR was one of the world’s most progressive states towards the end of its existence. Marxism provides a framework that enables liberation of all oppressed peoples.
The Russian government is a homophobic dictatorship of capital. China isn’t imperialist, it doesn’t run its economy based on international plunder, export of capital, nor is it under the control of a financial oligarchy.
Firstly, stop using my fucking community as a bludgeon against people you don’t like.
Secondly, this is transphobic you numbskull.
Thirdly, y’all are acting like fucking children, Grow Up!
I don’t think your pet nazi learned their lesson from the one week slap on the wrist
They don’t make such comments within my community, which was one of the conditions for their unbanning. I take hate-speech very seriously.
clearly not that seriously, that’s why you are so comfortable hanging out with racists and nazis
There are no racists or nazis within my community, I moderate very strictly. And you’re comfortable hanging out with Tankies, you’re even one yourself. So don’t lecture me about bars when you’ve bought the tankie bar drinks.
perhaps you should fall for another fake post and then have to backtrack?
I would like to introduce you to the concept of satire. Two examples of making fun of the contrived and ominous-sounding name your crew came up with.
Also in my defense the post about you sending hairy asshole pics to harass people was extremely funny and fits with the character you put forward online.
I moderate very strictly.
lmao
Oh! I know that community! I didn’t know you ran it. You’re a dipshit
the instance is pretty shitty too

What the hell even is a “Gaza head”
How do you turn being upset about citizens being starved and killed in a systematic way into “feeling holier with hateful actions incapable of civil conversation”
Seems pretty obvious that you yourself feel holier and are incapable of holding conversation if you dismiss basic respect for human life as hateful.
Oh, look… a white supremacist has shown up to whine about pretend antisemitism.
Apparently there’s an unwritten rule of “no comments criticizing the anti-Israel movement” in this little corner of the internet.
I think there’s some colloquialism involving pots and kettles that applies here. Or maybe throwing stones in glass houses?

Do you also require:
- Palestinians denounce Hamas immediately
- Ukrainians denounce Nazism immediately
I’m Jewish, and I do not make my anti-Zionism a secret. But israel does not speak for all Jews, expecting all Jews to speak for israel is the type of isolating othering that makes people scared to live in the communities where they are. You can ask a Jewish organization what its stance is before donating or volunteering with them, but demanding Jews “own up” to Israel does the opposite of what you want. You have to understand there’s two major Jewish movements in response to anti-semitism. One is zionism, which maps directly to neocolonialism and the other is Doikayt which is coalition building.
WTF are you talking about?
Piggy have literally beaten up Jewish Holocaust survivors for protesting Israel.
Off topic, but why the heck can’t I see !worldnews@sh.itjust.works? The instance and community aren’t blocked or filtered for me, and I can load other communities like !funny@sh.itjust.works. But from here, I can’t see it at all. If I try directly, it just says “Error”.
Yeah it’s weird, maybe it’s .zip specific
I’m on .zip too, error here as well
Instances are able to block a specific community on another instance without defederating entirely.
Works fine from sopuli.

It’s a major bugbear of mine that people do this, but because their display name is significantly different from their username in a non-obvious way, you haven’t actually tagged them. Neither has @goat@sh.itjust.works.
To tag ikt, you have to do @Eyekaytee@aussie.zone.
That’s actually the fault of the modlog. It should not be showing a display name instead of their username.
IMO it’s primarily a fault of Lemmy for even allowing users to do that, and secondarily of users for using it in a way that makes it unobvious (e.g. funny fonts, pronouns, etc. are “obvious” changes that are unlikely to trip people up like this).

Relatively few people are pro-Palestine but lots of people are anti-genocide
