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.

    You don’t moderate !worldnews@lemmy.ml, and I was not banned from there. You moderate its counterpart on .world, from which I was banned for correcting you when you lied and said that biden never sold weapons for genocide.

    You went on to ban me from politics@lemmy.world for defending myself against a slapfight instigated by pugjesus that I had already extracted myself from. I had also blocked pugjesus so he couldn’t goad me back into a slapfight, and said as much in the comment right before you banned me. You banned me after I declined to continue participation in a slapfight when I noticed what it had become, and after I described the measures I had taken to do so.

    I’m surprised you haven’t banned me from every pro-genocide echo chamber you selectively enforce the rules in. Though after this comment, I’m sure you’ll be looking for excuses.

    I kept quiet about this until you decided to badmouth me behind my back.
