I came to a post on this community where a user said that a certain community was zionist. But their comment was really long and I wasn’t sure if it had been removed for that or something else. So I wanted to test it myself.
I went to that community and posted something that’s only offensive to zionists. My post was pro-jewish and anti-zionist, so there was no way to confuse it as meaning something else. I wanted to see what would happen. Either it would get removed for zionist reasons, get removed for other reasons, or stay up. That would answer my question. It got removed because the mod said they felt rage baited. That answered my question. I linked the post and the modlog here as evidence, to share my findings. Now everyone knows for sure whether that community is zionist.
What I wasn’t expecting is Ada’s response. She said in the modlogs she also felt the post was rage bait. I didn’t see that coming because I didn’t think Ada was a zionist. I thought she would be fine with seeing zionists get angry, because they get angry over the most mild things.
Is Ada supporting zionism?
YDI. Rage baiting is a form of trolling. The point is not necessarily that your opinion is infuriating the mod, but that it’s intended to cause intense discussions (typically between third parties) which often devolve into flamewars that are difficult to moderate therefore wasting the mods’ time and deteriorating the community cohesion. If your plan was to have a constructive discussion about the topic, there’s other ways to word it. But it’s clear when you don’t want to do that.
I didn’t intend either of those. The third option is overwhelming evidence against the /europe mod leads to the feddit.org admins taking the community away from the mod for breaking the instance rules. I did my part. I thought lots of other users were going to as well. It’s part of being a responsible netizen. I wanted to be a good girl who does the right thing when zionists are banning other people.
Sorry the snowball effect has already taken hold.
We need better communities that don’t censor people on a whim just because others are abusing the report system.

Can’t fault Blahj on this one
There is zero value with saying shit simply to piss people off. You’re not bringing a different viewpoint or trying to encourage dialog, you’re just spreading anger and outrage. If anybody wanted that they’d be on traditional social media.

No. BPR and YDI. You went into stir shit, you got mad people smelled it and cleaned it up.
Anti-zionism smells nice, not like shit. All of my girlfriends are happy when they see it. Except for their sadness for Palestine. But they’re happy that I’m being a good girl and speaking out.
What?
BPR/YDI. The fact you are doubling down on the shit stirring here confirms it was the right call by both mods/admins.

Ada likely wants a civil community. Allowing ragebait of any kind isnt conducive to a civil community. It likely has nothing to do with the content of the bait.

YDI
You admit to rage baiting and then claim Zionism when the mods toss you a temporary time out. The mods being able to see obvious rage bait says nothing about their political beliefs. Rage bait is stupid regardless of who you’re trying to enrage and it doesn’t belong here.
I didn’t rage bait. I wasn’t expecting anyone to get angry.
I don’t think anyone actually did get angry. I think Euromod is lying and Ada is wrong. I think I was right in the first place.
Rage baiting is not nice. Stirring drama; is not nice. If you had a point to make, I think it would had been taken better. Rage baiting is not nice.
YDI/YDM, you were warned to stop and were even given a temporary ban for it. The fact that you’re here whining about it like you’ve been wrongfully treated proves you didn’t learn your lesson or even get the memo.
Bad faith intent… Not sure if should have censored but you shouldn’t be doing that. It is poor decorum.
Discourse should be organic for it to have any value IMHO
Pointless rage bait post. Lucky for you I think that’s allowed in this community.
Encouraged even

But you actually did post to rage bait. I’m not usually one to defend Ada, but in this case, you went there intentionally to stir things up, and you got exactly what you were looking for.
Posting in a place you don’t like, just to see what happens, is the definition of trolling. It’s not like how Lemmy uses the word now to describe anyone they disagree with. The real definition is posting something just to get a reaction.
In this situation, I’m saying YDI.
Your post is bad, and you should feel bad.
Removed by mod
Definitely PTB.
You should find a different instance ASAP.
YDI, you should take the message. Your ragebaitng isn’t seen as acceptable. Now when people including the mod are calling you out on it, instead of stopping and disengaging you’re doubling down and calling them Zionists. This doesn’t help you, it’s just going to make your situation worse.
