![Got banned from [email protected] community, because why not?](https://reddthat.com/pictrs/image/ac983fdd-31e0-4302-a2a7-feb7450c0c37.jpeg){kind=link}
WOW
I expected mods outside .world, .ml and beehaw to be kind of normal. Turns out nope.
Does everyone here exist to further his agenda and just that?
Did people just forget that talking exist?
It started to feel like:
On Reddit, the highest crime you can do is working againest the Algorithm.
On Lemmy, the highest crime you can do is just saying anything that people might not like.
BTW, none of my posts on the gaming community was political.
I guess I will have to wait for further bans to come, to be 100% sure that I am currently using the right communities.
Context. (Not sure)
Edit #1
The fuck? They banned me from their entire instance:
Idk I would still feel more comfortable if communities gave users a chance to explain themselves first. For example, I would be okay with preemptive bans if the user openly supports genocide. However, going on the linked context alone, OP could just be relaying propaganda accidentally, without the knowledge of why sharing such news can harm the public view of the victims of Israel and sway more opinions toward defending Israel’s cruel actions (that started in October 2023, not including their constant cruelty towards Palestinians/Gazans over history).
It seems, as with a couple of comments in the contextual post, that simply relaying the news - in a news community no less - has triggered a few snowflakes. However the news itself is problematic, in that it implies that the abuse the hostages received actually happened, instead of focusing on the only fact - that an Israeli report states this.
My opinion stands - as important as it is to fight back against Zionism, cruelty against living beings and oppression of freedom, I believe community leaders should try to hear from the user directly, in order to determine if a ban is necessary.
Doesn’t want Israel destroyed is enough to get banned for supporting genocide on many parts of lemmy. Many mods delete posts and ban users that don’t follow a pro Hamas political line, regardless if rules where broken or not.
At this point, some subs are straightup iranian propaganda. Worldnews etc. Then blabbering about integrity of sources is peak irony lol
At this point, almost all of the political or “”“news”“” subs are just antisemitic circlejerks under the guise of the palestinian cause, moderated by powertripping armchair leftists.
Yea I agree. someone could very well be ignorant of the situation so I wouldn’t do a preemptive ban if that were the case. but if they are aware they’re parroting Zionist propaganda rubbish and continue doubling down on it despite being educated then I’d say a preemptive ban is justified
Yeah, that’s more or less where I stand too, though the exact amount of effort a mod needs to put into contacting the user may be lower in my stance than in yours.
But I went further back and edited in a revised take. I think you’re right that OP’s account that the ban was issued on made a news post in a news community, and didn’t engage in any fuckery in comments that merit the ban for that reason.
