Does lemmy.ml own db0? db0 user denies the Uyghur genocide, begins to backtrack that maybe there are human rights abuses, and then immediately backs off as soon as lemmy.ml admin, Davel, steps in.

We should calm down attacks on db0 as well as on anti-tankies, it leads to this bs. The db0 user agrees that China is trying to erase their culture by doing bad things to Uyghurs, and just want to disengage, that's something we gotta respect. They never show acceptation of the fallacious .ml comment, on the contrary disengaging shows exasperation from it. It is only a disagreement on terms caused by hesitation on what to deduce between us propaganda and china propaganda, and yet they are treated as the enemy.
Yes genocide denial is bad, but putting them in the same box as .ml is bad too and may be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Really, the only db0 user I've seen actively supporting tankies (such as deleting comments calling out .ml bozos on their bullshit) is Unruffled. Most of that instance is still against them, or so I'd like to believe.
Unruffled is famously very easily ruffled
If they are content with supreme leader davels regularly posting in their community, then they're tankies or content with sharing their spaces with tankies.
Tankie bar
You've never commented or voted on here before. What are you doing speaking for this community? Account that has been inactive for two months. I wonder what your main account is.
Either way, tankie bar anecdote.
Db0 keeps working with tankies, but what they won’t accept is that if you sit down at a table with nazis, the only thing that’s changed is the number of nazis at the table.
They're tankies until they disavow them.
Seems like you edited to remove the account part, that was a good move, this is my main, the other one was my old one that's still on the phone.
Other than that, you're right to call out the lack of critics from db0 admins/mods and general community towards tankies, but this is still a bad example to my eyes. We cannot blame someone for disengaging, especially a regular user with a good reason.
