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.

    It’s interesting that the comment he got super butthurt about does not appear in the modlog. I wonder how that happened.

    Almost always that is the result of a mod banning someone with “Remove Content,” which bulk removes comments/posts. I’m not sure whether this is by design or an unresolved bug, but I suspect it’s a bug.

    Anyone know how to link to a particular comment in the modlog?

    There’s no way to do that. Best you can do post a modlog link that filters by user & mod action, and also set the page number, if it’s so old that it’s not on the first page.
