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.

I can't answer yes or no

You can sweetie, you just don't want to 🤣

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world -2 points 3 days ago

I absolutely can, you just won't accept the answer you deserve.

Come into one of the communities I mod preaching violence, you're going to have a bad day. Suck it.

With how unpopular and dumb your dogmatic thinking is . Good luck stopping the chant

It's super simple... people break the rules, they catch comment removals and bans, they come here to bitch, you look at their modlogs and realize they're nutjobs.

Seriously... I mod 3 large lemmys. I banned LustyArgonian in ONE of them and they're going crazy here. Check their modlog:

Moddable behavior going back almost a year and not just in my community and not just from me.

Yes,people break stupid rules an you will not stop it. You the type of guy who would support extreme laws that restrict people fundamental right and support it because you are a stupid dogmatic guy

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world -3 points 1 day ago

Whether they think the rules are "stupid" or not is irrelevant. If they want to participate in the group they can abide by them or they can find a different community.

Here's someone I just banned for pushing pro-Israeli lies about the genocide, expect to see them posting here any minute now:

It is.We are in a community here to critisize mods. Just because you banned and punished some pro israel doesn't change the fact you are a dogmatic mods who cqn't convince why your rule make sense

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

749 readers
13 users here now

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.


Posting Guidelines

All posts should follow this basic structure:

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  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.

Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.

YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.


Some acronyms you might see.
