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.
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.
Removed for repeated misinformation saying an elected Canadian official was not a member of Canadian government. Try again.
In Westminster systems, the Government does not refer to the entire legislature, it refers to the executive branch, which is made up of people who happen to also be members of the legislature. This is a pretty basic and very well-established convention, and the fact that you’re steadfastly refusing to admit your clear, objective mistake in this case says a hell of a lot more about you than your arrogance in the matter that this thread was initially created to discuss ever could.
Wanna take bets Jordon doesn’t comment on this?
I think he left because he can’t “win” arguments when he can’t ban his interlocutors.
Give @[email protected] a break
He barely passed high school civics, do you really expect him to understand that other countries might have a different system of government
