Sorry for not seeing this earlier. Work was hell today.

Your correct. This isn't racism. I'm reinstating your comment now.

I left .world a while ago, I didn't leave Reddit to put up with the same bullshit on Lemmy

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Yeah the mods of the news Community being in favor of fascism doesn't surprise me.

Conflating zionist state of israel with the jewish people is anti-semitism. Israel does not represent all jewish people worldwide.

[-] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 4 points 1 day ago

I agree. How do we get the world to recognize that fact?

Genuinely asking, because seeing the Australian government bow to Zionist pigs over this is really tiring me out.

From the sidebar:

Some acronyms you might see.

  • PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
  • YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
  • BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
  • CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn’t understand how their software works.

I mean... it's an illegitimate state after all.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

It can't be racism unless you first admit it's an ethnostate.

[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

That's actually a really good catch.

If Israel is an ethnostate, then saying "Israel did something bad" is now by default saying "Jews here did something bad."

And it works for their "anything calling us out is antisemitic" and the people who think being Anti-Zionism are antisemitic.

It helps deflect any claim. South Africa wishes it had that idea.

PTB. .world's stances continue to be completely indistinguishable from State Department propaganda. I guess it was only a matter of time until the mods started cracking down on anti-Zionism. Fully expect to see them ban someone for promoting BDS next.

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

749 readers
229 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.
