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.

    I like how you quote the thing that proves you wrong and say “hey, this proves me right.”

      Rule 6: Do not advocate violence.

      Removed comment #1:

      “I advocate for Ukrainians to fight for their freedom, VIOLENTLY, WITH GUNS”

      “DID THE RIGHT THING and KILLED WITH VIOLENCE AND GUNS”

      bzzt - Removed.

      Removed comment #2, following being warned, which earned the temp ban:

      "Death to…
      Death to…
      Death to…
      Death to… "

      What part of no advocating violence is fucking unclear to you assholes? No, we aren’t going to let users call for Death.

        Are you slow ? None of the below calls for a death of an actual person, you fucking idiot.

        Death to Israeli apartheid.

        Death to the institutions that uphold the Israeli Apartheid.

        Death to the institutions that uphold the occupation, the disposession and the genocide of Palestinians.

        Death to the structures that maim the humanity of both the colonizers and the colonized.

          All of which is calling for death. It’s literally the first word. They’re trying to be precious about it by trying to couch it in uncertain terms, but this is a follow up post where they also called for death and violent action.

          This is the equivalent of “I’m not touching you! I’m not touching you!”

          Don’t be stupid and look at what they’re doing in context. They’re calling for violent action, which is removable. Doing it repeatedly is bannable.

            You are either a complete, clinical cretin or are pretending to be one to defend genocide. There are only two choices here.
