Some arguments in the thread was that this was some bullshit rumour that was started by neo-nazi admins of dbzer0.com or from some .ml instances.
It’s easy to point fingers and make up rumours, but this is a genuine concern. Whether it’s at lemmy.world or dbzer0.com or anywhere else.
This is the responsibility of the communities to call these people out. Whether they are neo-nazis or zionists, it doesn’t matter. They should not be moderating any instances.
Finally, if there is any real proof of this, can people share it here? Like posts, comments, modlogs?
Well, I’m certainly not a neo-nazi, and the folks I talk to regularly here at the div0 and a.n chats seem pretty strongly against nazi-esque ideas. Our basic ethos, anarchy, is about no absolute power. Fascism is an incompatible idea and something I’m pretty sure we’re all in agreement can fuck right off.
I completely agree that admins, myself and my cohorts inclusive, should be held to task by our users. I run a.n as a service to my users, and want the site to thrive as a community. A core agreement I have with my other admins and my users is that if situation comes where I am voted out as admin, I step back and genuinely work to hand over my access and servers to the chosen team. No ragequitting or tantrums.
This all started over some animosity and rash actions taken without any communication with the primary admin of a.n (me). A very vocal user, and admin at the time (stepped down since) said some things that upset the .world admin in question.
There’s several threads covering this with receipts.
This is a good summary so far.

I hope you can find a good answer in these details.
Thank you very much for the well written comment. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain this in detail and providing a reference.
And yeah. Fuck fascism in all its forms.
