All from in this thread in [email protected] 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, @[email protected] (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 @[email protected] 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.

    Rule fucking six:

    regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.”"

    This you?

    Unlike other mods you bullied off Lemmy, I cannot be bullied. Take your bitch ass to Jon like you did with Wren, go on, I fucking DARE you.

                    If you can state a fact without actually attacking another user, sure. For some folks that’s harder than it seems.

                    Where people get confused is we do allow attacking the subjects or authors of the articles, that’s A-OK.

                    Some article about the new “Big Beautiful Bill” and someone goes off on how everyone who voted for it is a fucking idiot who’s destroying our country? That’s fine. Suggesting they’re traitors who need to be rounded up and killed? Not fine. Suggesting they’re traitors who need to be rounded up and placed under the RICO act? Again, that’s fine.

                    A lot of folks just report bad language, which is ignored most of the time. The only time it’s actionable is when it’s directed at another user or obvious slurs like “r-redacted”.

      I like how every chance you get, you choose to avoid addressing the actual issue of why you’re banning users for breaking a rule that they very clearly did not break. You choose to concentrate on the part where I hurt your feelings 😭 instead of the underlying lie that the other user was inciting violence in the comment that got them banned.

      Take your bitch ass to Jon like you did with Wren, go on, I fucking DARE you.

      Lol, nice job completely misreading what happened there… I have to assume it’s on purpose.

      Ipsos custodes ipsos, hon

      If you want yo be so unaccountable you literally punish people for acknowledging that you exist you are definitionally a power tripping bastard.

      Hell, that goes beyond ‘power tripping bastard on the internet’. This reads as a textbook symptom of some seriously fucked shit. You are very likely Not Well. See if help exists and is accessible in your area.

      It took me way too long to find and unsubscribe from all the communities you moderate.

      Tho you’re wrong in this thread, I do admire that spunk! I can appreciate anyone refusing to be bullied off of Lemmy; lots of people tried to bully me off of Lemmy. So definitely don’t leave Lemmy.

      But alas, it’s .world, so I’m gonna have to say PTB! Because .world is one of the most toxic instances on Lemmy, and your comm is one of the most toxic comms.
