This is about an instance that's long gone. There was nothing really wrong with them. But other leftist instances decided to just make up slanders and lies. I wonder why 🤔
@[email protected] Oh that too, for a minute there it was like half the Fedi was blocking us as Nazis pretending to be Jews, the other half was yelling us for being Zionists even though it said on the about page that we weren't. I think that that was definitely a growing up moment for me, just at a time I was wrapping up my burntout on antifascism @[email protected]

There are so many gross thing that antisemites do when it comes to Jews. This is one of them.
On Twitter, I often saw the phrases like "the Talmudic Jews". The idea is that then "Talmudic" becomes a sort of slur that one must deny being.
Similarly, the idea that being a Zionist is something to be "accused of" is highly offensive.
Most Jews are Zionist, and some Jews are not. But using Zionist as a slur is antisemitism, and it's a form of antisemitism that I see regularly, both online and out in the world.

Yes, the "real nazis" is Nazi Inversion, another common antisemitic trope.
