I have been banned from unpopularopinion for exposing person defending genocide and use of human shields by IDF.

One of the users in unpopularopinion thread was complaining about someone calling him a "fascist"

https://feddit.uk/comment/17531487

In response I did paste a screenshot of his comment claiming IDF are not using human shields, it is Hamas who do that:

... And the mod of unpopularopinion banned me. I can only guess he is a another genocide apologist.

I mean, that doesn't make them a fascist.

It makes them misinformed and a hypocrite.

In the second thread OP linked, the user in question is sealioning and "ackshyually" all the way. The whole thing boils down to:

  • [Someone] Israel Defence Forces are using people as human shields
  • [Opinionhaver] Ackshyually, it doesn't count as human shield
  • [Someone else] It does, see: [explains it]
  • [Opinionhaver] I dun unrurrstand you are point, explain again.

They're quacking like a duck and OP called them a duck. In this regard OP is right.

I'll be honest, I was going off the evidence presented in this thread and didn't follow the links. Dude is definitely a genocide denier and in the wrong but I don't see the connection between being a hypocrite sealioning about Israel using human shields and being a fascist.

[-] lvxferre@mander.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago

Denying that specific genocide is already grounds to call someone a fascist, because of why that genocide is happening: to expand an ethnostate in the Levant. So, when he showed surprise that he was being called a fascist, that was hypocrisy, because it was clear why.

Sealioning refers to how he was debating in that thread, not the specific claims he defends.

I would’ve accepted the label “genocide denier” six months ago, but at this point, I no longer do. The longer this conflict goes on, the harder it becomes to defend the IDF. What they’re doing right now counts as genocide by my standards - and nowhere have I claimed otherwise.

good thing that's not a label that hinges on your acceptance of it.

Well, glad that's all settled then. Welcome to the understanding of the rest of the sane world. Better late than never, huh?

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules


Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
