I just realised, I can’t post anything on lemmy.ml [http://lemmy.ml] So, I
checked https://lemmy.ml/modlog [https://lemmy.ml/modlog], there’s a new
moderator.

As pointed out in the linked comment chain, the person might just be old enough to be referring to the Nazis. Another indication of this is that the person is posting from a German domain, so probably born there, so probably referring to being born there but earlier.
Why do you think they mention Nazis and Gas chambers when the comment about it was about online communists? Cause they try to imply communists would act like Nazis.
They mention the Nazis in relation to communists tankies and hexbear though.

It was always a tankie den. The Lemmy developers are very openly tankies.
Reading this really troubles me. I don’t like the implication that using lemmy is pushing authoritarian ideology.
If I was born 50 yrs earlier I would literally have been put in the gas chamber. I tick several qualifiers for it.
I have openly wondered if now, thanks to the wider adoption outside of the tankosphere, would be a good time for a cornerstone fork to put these concerns to bed. It would be nothing more than a signaling that the proverbial hands have changed, but it would certainly soothe these kinds of concerns.
I really enjoyed reading your explanation. Thank you very much.
This calms me down quite a bit. :) have a good day.
So what the person calms down is that lemmy might get a tankie free fork. So I stay with my reading of it.
In addition MinekPo1 [She/Her] who said not all SS troops out to be sentenced to death is using sources from the Black Book of communism (which she likely learned of after hexbear users did challenge her views).
“born 50 yrs earlier” (i.e. they are talking about 50 years ago plus the users age)
user is from Germany apparently
To me it looks pretty clear cut that they are referring to the Nazis and are implying that both Tankies and Nazis are authoritarians, which is why they used that word instead of Tankie. You do you though.
Off topic: If you put the appropriate number of > (the space following the > is semantic) on the empty lines between the quotes they will connect. Had me a bit confused for a second there because I divided by paragraphs intuitively.
Back to topic: I don’t see anything supporting your hypothesis in those quotes.

Why do they refer the Nazis and their genocide at all? The comment above it is about “authoritarian” communists. Why would you then write about Nazi genocide after communists are mentioned?
Because they are creating an equivalence between Tankies and Nazis in their mind, viewing both of them as authoritarian, so from their perspective it is related.
Just as a disclaimer, I’m not here to say their statement makes sense, just that I think you misinterpreted their intended meaning.
I think you two were talking past eachother. You both seem aware that the user being quoted was equivocating nazis and communists because muh authoritarianism, but it seems JuneFall interpreted your comments as agreeing that the equivocation is correct. I interpreted your comments in the thread similarly until I got to this one.
Holy fuck, this person is evil. Implying the communists
CW
used Gas chambers to kill Jews.
Lmao they cited ziq from raddle.

Which is everything I wrote, including Nazi apologia and diminishing the Holocaust.
