Over the past few days, @[email protected]/@[email protected] has banned multiple users, blocked entire comms, and now defederated from Anarchist.Nexus over their anti-Zionist stance.

This extreme overreaction and general power trippin’ bastard behavior stems from Lemmy.world’s history of pro-Zionist views. And now MrKaplan is seeking out the flimsiest pretext to to enact his own personal vendetta.

Free Palestine, Death to Israel, Death to Zionism.

Lemmy.world is a ZioNazi instance. Avoid it like the plague.

    ‘We should kill everyone like you’ is a pretty difficult position to defend… in general. The ban message is straight up ‘calls to murder [blank] in their username and also calls us [blank].’ What in the name of god is moderation for, if not that? To say it’s not a directed threat takes some real finagling.

    You can squint real hard and insist ‘Death to Israel’ is a nonviolent sentiment about abstract political entities. Not so much with “Murder all Zionists.” You can bicker “From the river to the sea” is genocide advocacy in one camp, but not from the other. There is no such ambiguity in any call to “Murder all [blank].”

    I can’t even guess what FHF means. I’m on Lemmy every goddamn day, it is not that busy, and I still don’t know what half these people are talking about.

      Nonono “death to israel” is about as nonviolent as the death to nazi germany was. People keep saying it’s a call to kill all jews, which it is not, thats the distinction people made. But no one is under the impression that pissrael will just vanish nonviolently.

      only if you’re a zionist

      FHF is Fedi Hosting Foundation. No idea who they are or what fediverse services they host or promote.

      Edit: they are apparently the org behind lemmy.world and the other associated platforms.

      If zionist colonizers don’t want to experience the entirely justifiable violence of the colonized they can just go back to fucking Brooklyn

        Not a fan of zionism but this is a terrible argument and comes off like the navy seals copypasta.

            This discussion has a defined scope; reasonableness of fediverse moderation. The comment you responded to makes the argument that it really does look like someone was calling for site operators to be killed, and so by longstanding convention and common sense the mod action was reasonable.

            Then you respond with the objection that actually they do need to die, although you admit you are not prepared to yourself implement this system of getting web forums to enforce the right political opinions via murdering. Consider: the decisions people make about whether they approve of any given instance are influenced more by who they think sounds like a dipshit than by fear that internet tough guys may come to their house and kill them, those choices are somewhat up in the air, and have actual influence over how things are organized.
