A user posted the question What opened your eyes to what’s happening in Palestine? on !asklemmy@lemmy.ml.

As is evidenced, multiple comments have been removed by mods. The Mod log shows the moderator removing multiple of these comments due to “rule 1”, which on lemmy.ml is:

No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.

The mods then also banned some of the commenting users for a few days.

This all lead to a post by one of the affected users to AskLemmy, accusing the mods of “removing all comments critical of Hamas”. “No comments critical of Israel were removed”, the user alleges. The post has since been removed by the lemmy.ml mods as well and the user banned for 14 days.

    Fedilore feels like a place to complain about leftist instances at this point, lol. Free Palestine and Fuck Zionism.

      If exploding heads was still around I’m sure there’d be a lot of complaining about them here too. What happened to them anyway?

    Is it bigotry to say that both sides have done some horrific shit, and that the current conflict is approaching 100 years, and was going on in different forms for centuries before that?

    Is it bigotry to say there’s no solution as long as both sides have the goal of exterminating the other, and weaponizing the grief of their own groups?

    The whole thing is the very definition of a clusterfuck, and I’m not a member of either group, so I normally shut the fuck up.

    I’m not surprised.

    Who were the bourgeoisie that Stalin purged? Oh, right, most of them were Jewish.

    Horseshoe theory strikes again.

    In the news related communities on that instance it was the same shit. Tankies trolling and straight up insulting others, or just spreading disinformation. I tried reporting them but they never bothered to do ANYTHING and the same trolls did the same shit over and over again in other comment sections. That’s when I decided to block all the Lemmy.ml communities when I see them. It’s just Lemmygrad pretending not to be Lemmygrad.

      I try to resurrect !dundermifflin@lemmy.ml about the show “The Office” should I move it elsewhere?

      It’s a pretty laid-back show, and there were already 400 people in that community, so it made more sense to keep using it rather than create another one from scratch.
