![Apparent unwritten rule of "No posts about Palestine" on [email protected]](https://slrpnk.net/pictrs/image/3dc5b99f-5dd1-40d7-8c82-66887a292fac.jpeg){kind=link}
I was just perusing the modlog when I noticed something interesting. Apparently posting news about Gaza/Palestine is not allowed on [email protected]. I decided to check the side bar and didn’t see anything. The only pinned post also does not indicate that this is not allowed
edit: the mod in question is @[email protected] . sorry for not originally tagging. i hadn’t realized it was a rule that this must be done. i thought it seemed inappropriate since i was trying to initiate a conversation about a community’s rules and culture rather than start drama about an individual
Did you not read the screenshot?
The user was insisting on using specifically “zio” – I offered them a chance that they didn’t know about “zio”, gave them a chance to use zionist or any other phrase, but they insisted on using the term coined by David Duke, leader of the KKK.
Zio is simply an abbreviation of Zionist . Just because kkk used the same term wrongly doesn’t mean that people saying zio support the KKK. Even the term antisemite was corned by someone who hated jews and conservatives hijacked the term woke so should we also stop using them. What a ridiculous claim you are saying
I’m not the one using the exact same terminology that the KKK uses. I even said you can use zionazi, zionist, or whatever you want, but don’t specifically use ‘zio’
I recall that this community was upset when a user used the word ‘degenerate’. If we can’t use degenerate, we most certainly cannot use zio, or exclusive phrases that racists and white supremacists use.
Anti-Semite was coined by Wilhelm Marr a jew hater. Nobody in his right mind would think you should not use it to refer to jew haters . Same goes with zio people use zio as an abbreviation of zionist
whats with the fragment stuff here?
Some weird stuffs voyager client add sometimes.
Well what did you copypaste to cause that?
How about adressing my arguments?
I don’t think it’s appropriate to take an argument from months ago into a fresh thread.
Edit: <moved> incorrect reply level
Your ‘whatabout’ argument does not suddenly neutralize any or all dog whistles and make them OK to use.
There is no whatsboutism in my comment. Zio is an abreviation to zionist as simple as that
Your comment boils down to ‘what about this other word?’. If you remove that part your comment has zero substance.
It would be whstaboutism if i support the use of zio but not support the use of the term antiemite. It is using the other logic to prove to him that just because some bad and extremist people hijacked the term doesn’t mean we can’t use it.
Your comment has zero substance
