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.

      If you advocate for violence in our communities, your comment will be removed. Full stop. I don’t see how I can make it clearer. Do you need single syllable words?

        Answer the fucking question. Simple yes or no will suffice.

        If there was an armed thug murdering defenseless children on a street, and there was someone calling to kill the thug to stop children being murdered, would you ban the person calling to defend the children?

              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.

                  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:

                  https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=2&actionType=All&userId=6925869

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

                Go on, sweetie. Is the answer “yes” or “no”

            That isn’t a loaded question lol, per your own link, it is a direct question asking for a clarification of your morals. You’re just too dishonest to engage with it.

              I will absolutely engage in good faith questions. That’s a bad faith question which has been asked and answered.

              Lemmy communities are not the real world and promoting violence is not accepable in them, full stop.

              They don’t like that answer because it’s the truth.

                  Their specific question is dishonest, it doesn’t deserve an answer.

                  The answer is as stated:

                  Our Lemmy communities ban advocating for violence. If you want to do that, take it outside our communities.

                    You’re projecting your dishonesty and you just now admitted you lied previously when you claimed you answered it.
