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.

      You don’t moderate [email protected], and I was not banned from there. You moderate its counterpart on .world, from which I was banned for correcting you when you lied and said that biden never sold weapons for genocide.

      You went on to ban me from [email protected] for defending myself against a slapfight instigated by pugjesus that I had already extracted myself from. I had also blocked pugjesus so he couldn’t goad me back into a slapfight, and said as much in the comment right before you banned me. You banned me after I declined to continue participation in a slapfight when I noticed what it had become, and after I described the measures I had taken to do so.

      I’m surprised you haven’t banned me from every pro-genocide echo chamber you selectively enforce the rules in. Though after this comment, I’m sure you’ll be looking for excuses.

      I kept quiet about this until you decided to badmouth me behind my back.

        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, as disagreeing with the tender sensibilities of the pro-genocide center of the democratic party isn’t verboten here:

          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.

          EDIT: I couldn’t see it in the modlog because I had blocked the community I was banned from for opposing the genocide jordanlund lied to defend. The gist is reproduced above and it’s close enough. If anyone knows how to link to a particular modlog entry, please let me know.
