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.
You misunderstand.
@DeathToTheIDF@lemmings.world is an alt account of a banned user, formerly named AntiYank
They create accounts every few days and post trollish stuff.
And they've been doing so since last year. How little of a life does someone need to have to dedicate this much time into being banned over and over? It accomplishes absolutely nothing, the comments get removed in two easy clicks before most people will even read them. Hell, it takes less effort for the mods to ban Antiyanks than it does for them to make a new account. I'm pretty quick to spot and report Antiyanks accounts, and even still I often see them gone before I even read the thread.
According to what they've told me in a fit of rage after reporting and getting them banned on numerous occasions, they've "declared war" on Lemmy because they keep getting reported and banned and have some sort of "army" of alt accounts to wage it with. Being told they're not welcome for their poor behaviour and constant ban evasion is considered "censorship" and that must be the single worst thing to have ever happened to them because what they're doing is so far beyond what a reasonable person would do in this situation (namely, moving on with their life and finding anything better to spend their time doing).
Ok, what about the main complaint under discussion? That apparently it's not allowed to call for the Palestinians to fight back against the IDF?
Or for them to have any help. Or that the idf have any less help.
I'm surprised they're still around. That's some dedication for a platform they say they despise
Some users appear to be entirely sustained on hating the platform and/or its devs. As long as it exists they have a mission, possibly from god.
Explains reddit.
Regardless. The mod is removing anybody comment about death to the idf. The occupation force that is currently committing a genocide and that international law give Palestinians the right to self defense against them
I wasn't speaking to that, as I don't mod that community. I can only speak to AntiYank
I get it but since we talk about mods actions , i don't think it's was off topic to mention what i said
How does it relate to what I mentioned? I merely corrected the one point of confusion.
Your dismissing the rest of the post . So i want to put back the core of the topic which is the mod removing certain comments
I'm sorry if you think that. I in no way did that. I merely corrected one section, without mentioning any part I have no info about.
