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.

      I’ve already answered it multiple times, if you can’t accept it, then that’s a problem between your ears.

      If you advocate for violence, and mods see your comment, it will be removed. Really that’s the end of it. Do NOT say on lemmy that anyone deserves to be killed or harmed. Do not celebrate on lemmy anyone being killed or harmed.

      If it pops up in a report, it gets removed. If mods see it organically, it gets removed. If you keep doing it, you get temp banned. If that ban expires and you keep doing it, you get permabanned.

      Each step of the way you get a warning. Not acceptable. You then have a choice. Learn from your mistake and get better, fuck off and don’t come back, do it again and get banned, or come to PTB and be a whiny little bitch about it. Sometimes a combination of any or all of the above.

        Stop lying. You haven’t answered my question:

        If there was an armed thug murdering defenseless children on a street, and there was someone calling to kill the thug to stop children being murdered, would you ban the person calling to defend the children?

        Yes or no. Answer the simple question, you coward.
