This is Colgate from Canternet. The derpibooru admin channel has resided on Canternet since Nov 23rd, 2018.

I have checked server logs and there has never been a person with the nick or username “sixone” ever connected in 2020 or 2019.

Additionally, the hostmask used “Pony-mdg.hkm.138.91.IP”, is not even possible with our secret cloak key.

In short, this leak is guarranteed to be fake.

1. The recent logs posted on 4chan are fake. The ideas presented don’t even sound like Nebbie, and there was a cheap attempt to copy his speech pattern (dual k’s and stuff like that).  
2. Here is me grepping (searching through) all IRC logs between November 22, 2018 and today, searching for user “sixone” as presented in the “logs”:
    
   
    
   As can be seen, such user never wrote a single message on any of the #derpibooru channels, and hasn’t ever even joined them. I have also searched for some messages as presented in the “logs”, which I could not find either.
    
   

Random zebra would not be okay to post, as it’d seem to support racism (it’s basically saying “blacks sexually harass you, so you should call them slurs”).

An image can show sexual harassment of course, it just has to not generalize a race as doing such; a racial slur rather suggests it’s about race.

My arguments to him were that I wasn’t sure it was on the same line as the Chrysalis pic, because it didn’t actually target people, but an ideology. Is this a pedantic distinction? I’m not sure, but I feel that it’s important to allow targeting / questioning ideologies, to allow debate, as long as people aren’t being targeted. But, as you said, the issue is that some people will put the label of “nazi” on just about anybody to justify violence. And we’ve seen cases of this IRL. So… I’m pretty torn on that one TBH.

Unfortunately at this point going “just allow everything” is out of the table, so we just have to find the sweet spot.

To address most of the discussion:

1: Derpibooru has not ever come out in support of saying “ACAB”; we allow images to contain the phrase, even spelled out, much as we allow other political statements that we don’t agree with, but which aren’t “over the line”. For the record, I personally do not like “ACAB” as a statement, and I find the Chrysalis with pig head image slightly uncomfortable to look at.
2: Pony races are not automatic real life racial stand-ins (note that Zecora is a racial stand-in in her introductory episode, but not others), it depends on image context. Rainbow can be shown killing Gilda just fine, but if you put swastikas on Rainbow and Gilda in a gas chamber, the context is pretty clearly indicating Gilda is a stand-in for a Jewish person, and the same would be true with Rarity. Zephyr Breeze instead would be a bit confusing however, due to being the same race as Rainbow and looking more “Aryan” than her.

@ArmadilloEater
I think the image of Aryanne masturbating in front of a gas chamber was pretty thoroughly discussed. The machine gun thing might need more review, but it’s low-priority.
The image with the Auschwitz-like gate in front of the School of Friendship was actually restored after more discussion, by the way, but that’s one where we had very minimal discussion originally.
