Drama in the Fediverse
Welcome to the Lemmy Drama community!
This is a place to share and enjoy drama across the fediverse. Grab your popcorn, and dive in!
Rules:
1. Don't bring your own drama.
If you are a part of the drama, don't post it here. We're here to enjoy drama, not see it brought to this community.
2. Be civil.
No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. No ongoing drama.
if there’s been a comment in the past 3 days, wait until it’s settled down.
5. No interacting with the drama you find here.
That means no upvotes, no downvotes, and no commenting in the original thread.
6. Keep the drama focused on Lemmy and/or the fediverse only.
If it’s Kbin or Mastodon drama, it must be a quality effort post.
7. Don’t piss on the popcorn.
Inciting brigades is an automatic ban.
8. Mod Perogative
We reserve the right to enforce the rules however we like.
I take it that it was decided to not only not permaban him from the instance, but to reverse the ban from the world news community?
I understand rules cannot be perfect but I really despise that someone can be allowed to knowingly lie like he does. He shuts down all useful conversation immediately with an accusation he is wholly unconcerned with the truth of.
I would like to think the "you support genocide" line being said over and over would mean that if it were my instance, I would nuke his account from orbit. Nothing could be less "civil". Naughty words shouldn't be the main basis of judging civility. I get that it's hard to mod, but also Linkerbaan has gone pretty far to show us that he has practically no good faith in any discussion.
TBH, I'm not sure. I checked out for some personal stuff last night. Not sure where it stands now.
I see. Today, he's started a renewed line of attacks on Democrats. Latest of which involves the lie that Trump and Biden/Harris are now aligned on Israel.
