All from in this thread in !world@lemmy.world about a chant at a British music festival where an artist said "death, death to the IDF".
After other users were quoting that chant in the comments and had comments removed and banned, the hero of our story, @theacharnian@lemmy.ca (appearing as "acargitz") pointed out that under international law, fighting an occupying force is legitimate. But apparently not under world news rules, as their removed comments and the many explanations from mods make clear in the thread.
Equally against the rules is the call for the eradication of an organisation or business, even without an explicit call to violence against individual members of the business.
In the same thread: user @DeathToTheIDF@lemmings.world had comments removed for being anti-American "(again)", though I couldn't see the first time. It's not even clear to me how the removed comments were anti-American.
Bonus points for the "DC Comics" removal reason. Though this seems to be incompetence, rather than malice.
It’s been a couple of weeks since @jordanlund@lemmy.world was in here defending genocide. I almost missed the ugly fucking zio. Automatic PTB for anything he touches with his scummy little fingers.
Now all we need is @PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat in here to tell us how he’s misunderstood and really a good guy and we’re all being unfair.
It's not "defending genocide" to say !world@lemmy.world does not allow advocating violence.
I stand on my record calling for Netanyahu and the rest of Likud to be arrested and prosecuted at a Tribunal in the Hague, but somehow not advocating for murder = pro genocide to the asshats on lemmy.
So the many users that have complaints about your moderation are asshats, you are right and everyone else is wrong. Gotcha. You really shouldn't be modding on Lemmy if that's your outlook. Mods who take feedback onboard in a constructive way are actually well liked by the communities they moderate. Maybe you should give it a try sometime?
PTB yet again, unfortunately.
The folks here on Lemmy aren't advocating for violence. They (and all of us) are suffering the effects of America's violence on the world and are simply trying to resist that violence. The US has had an official policy of destabilising the Middle East for decades, as did the British before them. Countless lives have been lost due to that policy. Most recently the US has aided and abetted the genocide in Gaza with vast quantities of weapons shipments. And the US participated in the bombing of Iran based on nothing but vibes. The US is unarguably at this point a rogue state that has now not only turned on its allies, but also turned on its own citizens. If you aren't at least thinking about violently resisting what the US government is up to at this stage, then I don't know what's wrong with you. I guess it's lucky you live in a privileged white neighbourhood where non-whites were excluded, so all those ICE deportations and protests hopefully won't inconvenience you too much this time around, like the BLM protests did. I'd hate for you to stop caring about the Palestinians because you got held up in traffic.
So many people in a community devoted to bitching about moderation complain about me. Consider the audience.
They don't hate me personally, they hate being moderated. And when you look at their modlogs, you see why. These aren't innocent little snowflakes.
Yourself included:
https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=268381
(I forgive the .ml ban, EVERYONE gets banned by .ml. It's a lemmy rite of passage!)
Nope. We hate moderators making up bullshit to silence people they want silenced. We hate capricious moderators who can't follow their own rules.
No, I believe that's quite personal by now for a number of users. You are a perfect example of bad moderation, poor decision making process, illogical arguments and prejudice.
The modlogs disagree.
The modlogs were you banned @ensign_crab@lemmy.world for proving you wrong with citations from sources you considered equal?
Or the modlogs where you removed comments of people calling out the mod actions?
Or the modlogs where people had the right about not enjoying genocide being removed because only robots care about the deaths of people?
Quite the opposite. The mod log shows you are one of the most ignorant, arrogant and misinformed mods I have ever seen (from the active ones in big instances anyway).
You have number of people telling you that and instead of admitting mistakes and apologising you are doubling down.
Happy cake day!
Funny how other mods disagree and keep inviting me to moderate their groups. I actually turned down being a mod for News pretty recently, but they insisted they wanted me. I did not want the appearance of a "Power Mod". Fortunately the communities I care most about are tiny.
When I first joined lemmy, I was invited to mod Politics and World. I didn't even have a lemmy.world account at the time, I was like "Are you sure? Seems weird to moderate lemmy.world with a lemmy.one account".
But I'll make you a deal... Go through the modlog and find a moderation of mine you disagree with. Make your case. If you can argue it successfully, I'll reverse it.
I'm not surprised you get along well with some "other mods". If you put fifty children with Down's syndrome in a room there is going to be a lot of hugging.
Of course you don't, that's why you moderate all these communities.
Like the one in this very thread?
Yes, it's everyone ELSE who is wrong and you're just a wittle victim who is power tripping bc you have no hobbies /cry
What are we supposed to look at?
Just the usual bans. All commonplace for participants here.
