MY FINAL MESSAGE TO THE DBZER0 COMMUNITY

07/28/2026

(context: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/73036313)

I did not think that I would have to make another one so soon, but sadly I must. Once again, I am here to say goodbye to a community that I have contributed so much to. I ask that at this moment you not harass anyone else. This message was not meant with the intent to start up another drama; it's made to finally put this one to rest.

Today I have officially stepped down as admin completely voluntarily; I have done so entirely of my own free will to avoid escalating the ongoing drama. Many of the statements I made in the past and especially in the last couple of hours were unjustifiable; many of them I continue to stand by today. But this isn't about the comments or what I have done, nor is it about what started this. This is about respect; I respect this community enough to know that my time here is over.

All I ask of this community in return is that more consideration in the future is made to respect as well, that hopefully one day left-wing infighting may end. That day is clearly not today, but I leave with this final departing request: think about what I have said today. Even if you do not agree, even if you outright reject my message, I ask only that everyone here read it and genuinely try to understand where I'm coming from. If that is done and you still find my message is found reprehensable than I am ok with that; I ask for no more.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for this opportunity, and I thank you for letting me be a part of this community. Goobye

They got removed as mod on another community, threw a small tantrum, didn't receive the support they thought they'd get, and the shadeposting continues.

Thank you! Idk why it wouldn't for me.

RE: the context then..

Oh, so "becoming a tankie?" Not what I would have expected, but it happens.

Enjoy the wall first thing post revolution товарищ. History will repeat itself as usual.

You mean to tell me someone aligned with MLs wanted to grab more power and wasn't happy with being questioned with it?

I'm shocked.

There was a post on div0_governance from someone asking to remove kittenz as an admin. It has now been deleted/removed and this announcement has then posted.

So the "drama" is that you've become little more tolerant of hexbear? I think it's the most boring drama ever, but respect your choice and maybe it'll indeed stop a further "DB0 HAS BECOME A TANKIE INSTANCE, LET'S DEFEDERATE" -bomb from building, idk

Sad to see you step down, but hope to see you here as a regular still

dk why it wouldn’t for me

There is a strange rate limit error affecting multiple instances right now (at least db0, blahaj and slrpnk), and the Lemmy-ui doesn't show proper error messages 🤦

Sending solidarity your way, comrade. Don't let all the "left"-liberal and sectarian "anarchist" BS get to you ✊🫂

No need to step down as admin on here as well IMO, but I do very much understand it

Lemmy in previous version changed something in the way source ips are handled. Maybe it's related to that

Wait ... your issue is that dbzer0 is not tolerant enough of tankies? That's hilarious!

You'll get no tears from me, we need less tolerance of tankies.
Good on you though for stepping down voluntarily. A lot of other people in your position might cause lots of friction and drama over a long period of time, before being removed by vote.

I'm not really familiar with this specific drama, but "Tankies surprised anarchists don't like them" reads like an onion headline. They call it leftist infighting, but "my boot is rainbow colored 🥺👉👈" has never really convinced anyway.

She really wants us to be ok with genocide, as an optic.

They call it leftist infighting

This is such a dumb dismissal, it makes the assumption that all leftists are the same that all leftists are good. They aren't Authoritarian leftists are not good in any way. They do not strive for anything we strive for and they promote authoritarian regimes who seek to abolish our rights. I don't understand how Hexbears can be so favorable to Russia, a country who's anti-LGBTQ oppression is hundreds of times worse than what's going on in America right now.
