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.

            Exactly, I’ve literally argued with him that Clinton was a bad person, with connections to Epstein and who denigrated her husband’s abuse victims, who literally stole our right to vote from us by paying off the DNC for an unfair election primary (admitted to in court). And if she was a feminist (and not an asshole gaining benefits from feminism while pulling up the ladder behind her), then she would support medical care for all, which she explicitly doesn’t. Getting women healthcare is one of the most feminist things a person can do and it is quite basic and goes back thousands of years.

            He got really mad about that.
