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.

    The modlogs where you banned @[email protected] for proving you wrong with citations from sources you considered equal?

    Or the modlogs where you removed comments of people calling out the mod actions?

    Or the modlogs where people had the right idea about not enjoying genocide being removed because only robots care about the deaths of people?

      It’s interesting that the comment he got super butthurt about does not appear in the modlog. I wonder how that happened.

          No, they were repeatedly trolling other users and instigating slapfights that we had to deal with over and over again. Check the modlog. I made sure to remove every single trolling, sealioning, slapfighting comment.

          They’re a shitheel and it’s good they’re gone.

            I didn’t gripe publicly about your reddit-style power trip because it’s pointless to gripe about mods.

            I can’t say that badmouthing me behind my back is surprising.

            And since the comment you got super butthurt about is magically absent from the modlogs, I’ll reproduce it here from memory:

            In response to a comment in which you told the absolute total lie that biden never sold weapons for genocide, I replied that everyone knew that netanyahu was committing genocide. Even a pudding-brained decrepit mummy like biden knew. biden sold him weapons anyway in direct contravention of the Leahy law.

            But what I really suspect pissed you off is when I reported your lie as the misinformation it was, that you KNEW it was, and that you intentionally promulgated anyway.
