FlyingSquid is a Zionist who actively censors content critical of israel. In the past this was using false claims of anti-semitism but after acquiring mod powers he has started banning anti-israel posters.
After acuiquiring mod powers on /WorldNews FlyingSquid bans me by making up lies about defending the usage of child soldiers which never happened:
Recently he tried to defend himself by lying about it
After being called out for lying FlyingSquid pretends to act in good faith for a little as if he was just confused that day. Let's see what happens when we play along:
When pointed out the he was lying the crybully instantly paints himself as the victim who is "about to be insulted". FlyingSquid is clearly trying to bait an insult to use as an excuse for a reban:
Despite not being insulted, the crybully still claims he was. The Zionist victim complex is a sight to behold. He now demands to be acknowledged for his abuse of mod powers likely hoping to bait an insult:
After failing to ragebait insults the Zionist crybully "changes is his mind" and starts tacking on random extra conditions as an excuse to reban me. He now starts demanding acknowledgement for how amazing he is for falsely banning people.
At this point it is very obvious FlyingSquid has no intentions to unban me from WorldNews and is just trolling:
Subsequently he lies one more time in his ban description.
Edit: JordanLund has joined in and claimed that if you support any action of a group or individual, you fully support every action that group or invidividual has ever committed. Meaning that anyone who supports Joe Biden forgiving Student Loans actually supports the Genocide in Gaza and is a Zionist.
Edit2;
A major cause of this is .World users proclaiming their superiority of "non-censorship" and their continuous barrage of insults against other instances.
What helps is having the veil lifted a bit so users realize .World is not 'the only sane instance'. Every instance has its biases and censorships. Though banning users on false pretenses is a new low for /WorldNews.
Don't worry, 9 months of debunking Zionists gets you a pretty strong mental. There is such a stark difference in the comment section since I started that even the most ardent Zionists have converted to concern trolling about Trump since defending israel is a lost cause.
And I'm glad you have written that down here for others to observe.
It is, albeit ever so slightly. Reddit had full lockdown on censorship and Lemmy clearly doesn't have that.
When users start noticing the censorship they will migrate, not beforehand. This is the reason these posts calling out power abuse are important.
Yeah I'm not a fan of the MBFC bot or censorship. An article about first-hand accounts by some survivors about the school bombing earlier this week was removed because it was Mondoweiss
Although tbh, I think when you insult people, even Zionists, it puts you in a bad light. It's better just to source and debunk.
I've seen both FlyingSquid and Jordanlund advocate for an end to the genocide and Apartheid, I wouldn't call them Zionists. I don't think the ban was deserved, but neither of you were that civil in the DMs
Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis have all done terrible things. They're all right wing reactionary resistance armies that formed under violent oppressive foreign intervention such as colonialism, occupation, or blockades. That kind of violence doesn't come out of nowhere, but both need to be solved
Wow you are more delusional every day
