I'm concerned that the continued existence of a certain post is normalizing Doxxing "people we don't like", and that's not okay. (beehaw.org)

Totally expect to see a sea of "Nazi Sympathizer" comments, but look. I don't think we should be Doxxing anyone so that we don't invite folks to Doxx us.

I don't think this is radical, but apparently this opinion is somehow tantamount to being an actual Nazi in that thread.

I don't wish to remain in a community that says that Doxxing is bad unless we disagree with the victim - and I think that the post's continued existence communicates this. Sure, it's a federated post and not from our community, but honestly, I think it should be removed from Beehaw. I've already removed it from my tucson.social instance since I'm in no mood to deal with retaliatory doxxing.

To be clear, the Moderators have been removing the worst offending comments since the article itself doesn't actually Dox anyone, but navigating to the source thread on lemmy.ml provides easy access to ALL the doxxed information. As such, I think the whole post should be removed and/or locked.

Update: Post has been removed - I have no further issues. As an aside - good lord Beehaw - I get it I'm a Nazi apparently. I'll get out of your hair and delete my account later this evening. Sheesh.

I don't know why you're trying to start drama.

The Vice article was a news article that was reporting on this leak, but it didn't name any names and didn't link to the leaked database. The post in question also wasn't a beehaw post, it was a federated post from lemmy.ml. Maybe I'm misunderstanding how federation works, but I would expect lemmy.ml's mods to handle moderating those posts.

And, frankly, I'm not sure I disagree with the screenshot you posted elsewhere in this thread. I don't think it was wrong for a person to leak the IronMarch forum database a few years ago, which exposed a bunch of Atomwaffen members in the US and neo-nazis elsewhere, and I'm not sure I think it's wrong for someone to have leaked this db either.

This isn't "it's okay to dox people you disagree with" or calling people with different political opinions nazis. These are actual nazis.

Thank you for adding this context.

Did you even read my post? I actually conceded the fact the article itself isn't the issue, but the posts comments which were indeed Doxing folks. I even conceded that so far admins were doing a good job of removing the actual doxxing comments, but this post was gaining so much traction that such an effort would be futile.

Given that a majority of your comment seems to assume I'm taking a position I'm not, I'm not sure how to respond.

Beehaw isn’t reddit, where one can get away with being a horrible person as long as one doesn’t technically break the rules. The beehaw mods don’t tolerate Nazi bootlickers, even if they’re polite bootlickers.

Creating this thread won’t solve anything. If you have a question or concern, the beehaw mods are very open and easy to communicate with.

I'm so confused. You're responding to a post that I'm confused about assumptions OP was making about my position and you come in and state something general about the beehaw philosophy (of which I read - and agree).

Are you just trying to call me a bootlicker or something? Looking at this thread I don't see how I'm being "politely horrible".

Could you expand?
