A user on lemmy.world/c/aboringdystopia stated that Jews should be ashamed of themselves for the actions of Israel.

I rhetorically responded "Why?" and reported the antisemitic comment.

Reporting them was deemed "Trolling" by the moderator, who believes there is nothing wrong with shaming all Jews for the actions of Israel because some Jews state they are ashamed of it themselves.

I explained the moderator why the comment was antisemitic. In a twist of events, they then permabanned me, deleted all my posts from the comunity and told me I would feel more at home at .ml.

PTB I think this is a justified report.

Jewish people from all over the world have been and are currently actively organizing and fighting against zionism, occupation and genocide. They have nothing to ashamed of. Instead they are important in the struggle for liberation not just in Palestine but also worldwide.

Yes, also as someone from Russia - you know, if for citizens of Russia it were easier, not harder, to cross borders, emigrate, use various international systems (like payment systems) and such, then any rumor of a new wave of mobilization and any economic problem (from the real kind of sanctions, like those on fossil fuels, not like on me paying for stuff on the Internet, BTW, Putin's relatives have recently made "acquisitions" of grain businesses, so fossil fuel sanctions do work) would lead to waves of people leaving.

As someone also Jewish - making Jews fear retaliation for Israel's actions is not a very good way to hurt Israel, and making even Israelis fear that means that they might fear leaving Israel more than being mobilized or hit by a rocket or whatever.

Both these things punish dissenters. When a regime is bad, you should encourage dissent. When instead your media and politicians punish dissenters of that regime directly or via causing such sentiments, it means they support the regime.

In case of Israel it's very visible, in case of Russia - it's convenient to have a regime selling useful fossil fuels and grain without considering what its population thinks, keeping western politicians on payroll, keeping status quo in relations, not thinking about any uncertainty of an actually democratic Russia, for example, diverting from fossil fuel trade (Dutch sickness is a thing), or maybe actually being a useful part of BRICS, or maybe fixing a few frozen conflicts which are very profitable. And by now if Russia's regime dies, I suppose plenty of compromising information will leak about those politicians.

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.
