The mod team of r/antifastonetoss on Reddit has chosen to revive the c/antifastonetoss community on Lemmy.
Our plan is first to repost comics from r/AST here. Then, we will start organising to actually deplatform stonetoss from the internet, which we are allowed to do here (and yes it’s legal).
This community is therefore a bit different from the subreddit. We hope to do more organising here. Some examples:
- post tweets or facebook posts from stonetoss that we can report.
- save shit he says for posterity (like the time he appeared on the killstream, now deleted, or the time he went to Japan and was sad women weren’t throwing themselves at him, also deleted).
- tweet our edgier comics back at him!
If you’re new on lemmy, we also hope that you’ll enjoy the website enough to stay!
If you’re not new on Lemmy, we hope you’ll subscribe to our community!
We have an introductory text here: https://www.reddit.com/r/antifastonetoss/comments/ao4ia7/what_it_means_to_deplatform_a_fascist/, though it’s aimed more at people who are on the fence about it.
Stonetoss has a Twitter page, a facebook page, and an instagram page. Striking at those will reduce his audience by maybe 90%. The Twitter page has received several reports over the year by the subreddit, but I believe we need a coordinated effort for Twitter to take it seriously (every time they agree that it broke the rules but at most they delete the tweet).
Open the comments on his latest post on the fb page: https://www.facebook.com/StoneTossArt/. The two top comments are anti-semitic bullshit. Report this. If you’re on Discord servers, ask people there to report as well. But be wary of doing this on Twitter, stonetoss is known to publicly attack his reporters so as to send his fans against them.
^ to report on facebook, select the comment, then hate speech -> religion. Then on the last window under “more” select “report the comment” (the last option, don’t remember exactly what it says right now) and it will go for human review. Also report the comic itself, since it’s anti-Semitic bullshit.
I believe when deplatforming fascists, nothing should be off-limits, including doxxing, but I have no reason to believe we will need to go that far. Deleting his online presence will force him into irrelevance, possibly to the point he will stop making comics altogether.
Probably we may have to start an harassment campaign against him. Imagine every time he opens Twitter his notifications are full of people harassing him. Either it will cause him to slip up and get him banned, or he’ll be unable to take it and leave.
Also watch for new venues of distribution he might try to get (or the person you want to deplatform might try). For example last year he opened a gumroad page to collect funding. A quick anonymous email to gumroad, and htey closed that shit down ASAP. Now he’s on “newproject2”, a shitty “free speech” knockoff. It was called the N*gronomicon, I shit you not, and he’s since cleaned up his act because people were getting on to him lol.
And it feels good to actually be able to talk about it here!
My comrade . o7
I’ll support this any way I can.
Do I need to have a Facebook account to report a comment there? Or did I just not find the report button?
Actually, I just might create a Facebook account (not using my real personal data, of course) to do this stuff. Looking forward to further announcements, such as the harassment campaign against him (we probably need to gain some traffic here before that has an effect, though).
I’m not sure if you need an account, but the report button is in the three dots menu, either here:
Or here in comments:
(you have to hover over the comment)
My idea for the start is to build some community here, either from this instance’s regulars, or from outside (for which I would like to try and get the reddit subscribers here), and then start going after him on the regular. I noticed Facebook removed the post I told you about after I reported it, but they don’t seem to have limited the page in any other way yet.
Would you like to mod the lemmy AST? We’ve had a few trolls making accounts here and we could use some help to catch them earlier.
OK, the dots don’t show for me even if I hover. Maybe you do need a Facebook account for that. I’m going to try to create one tomorrow.
Sure, if that helps, I’d like to mod here. Just note that I live in Europe, so I might be asleep or busy while Americans are online (actualy I should be sleeping already, it’s beyond midnight), but I can be online at times where most Americans aren’t.
