All from in this thread in !world@lemmy.world 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, @theacharnian@lemmy.ca (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 @DeathToTheIDF@lemmings.world 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.

      Seems to be. It’s certainly where I’d prefer to post, although it’s not clear to me what its intent is. What makes “world” news? Non-American? That’s my assumption for the LW one. But on quokk.au is it non-Australian?

      Regardless, where I choose to post doesn’t help when I’m commenting on another post. Which is most often the case in any world news Community.

        From my understanding, it’s the world without restriction.

        US News, if it ever spams up the feed with minutiae articles would be put to a vote. It seems to be working well so far. We have a diverse range of international media sources and I have even see some Unicorn Riot articles.
