Original message: GenZedong users and moderators warned the Lemmygrad administration of chauvinists and people who harassed other users creating a community called Dongistan. Admins from both Discord and Telegram warned us of these reactionary elements and they were preemptively removed from the community

EDIT: We were working on the assumption that they were PatSocs, because that was the information given to us, and we decided to act upon that without further evidence. It was a mistake on our part. The community was therefore restored, but we are investigating the case further.

We are banning trolls which were harassing admins and other members inside Lemmygrad, and we've found out that they are a part of a group called "Horde's People's Republic of Dongistan" on Telegram.

Reading all these comments and I still don't get what's going on lol. Was Dongistan really that bad? I didn't really understand the posts but nothing struck me as offensive or something.

Here's the crux of the matter: a bunch of us got into an argument with Grace (head admin of genzedong) in the telegram group over pan-arabism (which she denounced as 'reactionary') and a lot of people disagreed so she decided to purge everyone who argued with her on the topic a few days later (including many other people who didn't even participate in the convo but were associated with us nonetheless). So we decided to form our own community and do our own thing.

Unfortunately, it seems that grace and her friend zoe have been spreading lies about us to the lemmy admins and had us banned based purely on their own personal resentment towards us (the 'patsoc' accusation is a baseless smear, some members liked to meme about the wow_mao mongolian video and that's literally it, accusing us of being 'patsocs' is simply the excuse they're using to get us banned everywhere when the real reason is that they have personal grievances against us)
