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

        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.

          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 🤦

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