as this post pointed out, I was an asshole, And I took trolling too far, genocide denial or harming the community was not my intention as I was trying to find reasons to troll hexbear through my two accounts, and was spurred on by members of the community with alternative intentions that didn’t occur to me at the time, such as _cryptagion

as shown here, a message from the /0 matrix:

I do not represent Dbzer0 or AN in anyway possible, and that post doesn’t represent my views at all, it was just a shitty attempt at humour that went too far, you could consider this an apology, you have every right to hate me, but if you all have the space in your hearts to forgive me, it would be much appreciated.

    I agree it was a terrible take. But I think it’s pretty well known by now _cryptagion likes to be a bit of a provocateur. And to be honest, you also have a few users on your instance who make similar hyperbolic statements in the other direction. So, no, I’m not planning to demod him over some inflamed rhetoric about events that happened 80+ years ago. I have removed the offending comments though and I’m satisfied he won’t poke the bears in their own den again. And perhaps most importantly, he won’t be enabling Kittyroll to get herself into trouble again.

    Thanks to everyone who was so kind and forgiving to Kittyroll.

      provocateur

      Genocide apologist.

      And to be honest, you also have a few users on your instance who make similar hyperbolic statements in the other direction.

      Which hexbear users are justifying genocide?

      So, no, I’m not planning to demod him over some inflamed rhetoric about events that happened 80+ years ago.

      Nazis doing genocide.

      I have removed the offending comments though and I’m satisfied he won’t poke the bears in their own den again.

      And perhaps most importantly, he won’t be enabling Kittyroll to get herself into trouble again.

      Are you confident he won’t justify genocide again?

      I think tolerating Nazi apologist mods is a bad look for an instance for anarchists. Apparently this is controversial.

        His sentiment was that the russians got their just desserts, since they colluded with the nazis early in the war. I mean to be honest, that doesn’t seem like nazi apologia to me. And I know we won’t agree on that, but let’s agree to disagree.
