Welcome to the Lemmy Drama community!

This is a place to share and enjoy drama across the fediverse. Grab your popcorn, and dive in!

Rules:

1. Don't bring your own drama.

If you are a part of the drama, don't post it here. We're here to enjoy drama, not see it brought to this community.

2. Be civil.

No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. No ongoing drama.

if there’s been a comment in the past 3 days, wait until it’s settled down.

5. No interacting with the drama you find here.

That means no upvotes, no downvotes, and no commenting in the original thread.

6. Keep the drama focused on Lemmy and/or the fediverse only.

If it’s Kbin or Mastodon drama, it must be a quality effort post.

7. Don’t piss on the popcorn.

Inciting brigades is an automatic ban.

8. Mod Perogative

We reserve the right to enforce the rules however we like.

Lemmy.world Admin MrKaplan rages over anti-Zionism banning users and defederating instances (lemmy.ml)

Over the past few days, @MrKaplan@lemmy.world/@MrKaplan@piefed.world has banned multiple users, blocked entire comms, and now defederated from Anarchist.Nexus over their anti-Zionist stance.

This extreme overreaction and general power trippin' bastard behavior stems from Lemmy.world's history of pro-Zionist views. And now MrKaplan is seeking out the flimsiest pretext to to enact his own personal vendetta.

Free Palestine, Death to Israel, Death to Zionism.

Lemmy.world is a ZioNazi instance. Avoid it like the plague.

Uhm, the whole point of the fediverse is that you can change instance and move on with your life and never be beholden to an admin whom you disagree with.

What makes this particular event any different?

[–] testfactor@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Do y'all remember when you were like, 14 or 15, and you had your first big political opinion. That moment where you realized that there was something going on that was bad or didn't make a lot of sense, and appealed to your sense of injustice. And then, for the next few years it was all you talked about with people because, like, how is it possible that they didn't get it, you know? And you were just so informed on the issue that it couldn't even be possible that there was any nuance, because you were so clearly and obviously right?

I feel like that's what lemmy.ml is every time it comes into my feed.

This is projection

[–] testfactor@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago

Maybe. Though I glanced through your post history, and I'm unconvinced that you're old enough to vote. :)

[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I had strong convictions as a teenager, then learned to rationalize injustice as an adult. You should too.

way to self-report

some of us just never 'grow out' of finding genocide abhorrent

[–] testfactor@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago

Putting words in my mouth man. I still find genocide abhorrent. What I learned was to not make it my entire personality.

You're allowed to enjoy your life. Advocacy is important. Standing up for what you believe in is important. But when you let arguing with randos on the Internet become who you are, you're not making a difference, you're just being an ass. And, in my experience with lemmy.ml, that's what it reminds me of. Being that guy who was trawling the Internet, looking for a debate.

And to be clear, when I was 15/16, the current Israeli situation wasn't in the zeitgeist. I was obnoxious about a completely different set of issues, lol.

Banned for posting swastika.

You are the problem. Perfectly reasonable way to moderate.

[–] Grainne@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

Banned for comparing Israel to the Nazis? Wow, totally reasonable!

You genociders are revolting.

[–] meldrik@lemmy.wtf -2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I’m all for freeing Palestine, but you shouldn’t call for the death of people.

[–] mochisuki@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Israel is not a people. It is a colonial government enterprise. So yes calling for the death of that political system is entirely within the bounds of peaceful and polite conversation. You shouldn’t call for the support of a genocidal government by equating it with the people inhabiting the land.

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What other deaths have you recently called for?

It’s a perfectly reasonable way to moderate a community.

[–] Grainne@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Deaths of racists, deaths of sexists, deaths of homophobes, deaths of transphobes, death of Donald Trump, etc.

What other terrible people have you defended recently?

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It’s possible for people to learn and change their minds. If your murder them for thought crimes and opinions, you are the bad guy.

[–] Grainne@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Does that happen before or after they kill your family?

These are not thought crimes, these are literal war crimes and crimes against humanity being carried out.

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You are the one who wants to kill millions.

[–] Grainne@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

To stop them killing millions of innocent people. Do you understand who is the at-fault party here?

You're the one who wants to do nothing to stop zionazism.

[–] Samskara@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The literal Nazis were stopped without killing all of them.

Your bloodlust is completely unhinged.

[–] Grainne@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

And the Zionists can stop being Zionists if they don’t want to die.

Your Nazi love is unhinged.

[–] Amnesigenic@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

If they don't want to die they can always leave

[–] mech@feddit.org -1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Which commenters or posters on the Fediverse have killed your family?

[–] FranklyIGiveADarn@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Oh look a nazi.org user defending vile shit, what a surprise.
