Banned last night and all my comments removed for calling out a Zionist troll who FREQUENTLY posts comments trashing Palestinians and celebrating death in the name of Israel.
But I’m the one that gets banned for Checks Notes “Rule 3: No Nazis, QAnon or similar”
What a circus, mods did ZERO due diligence before banning and the Zionists comment remains!
So, one of these 4 is a certified Power Tripping Bastard
*Edit: NOT TO MENTION the frequency with which I am in the Ukraine comm in support of Ukraine and correcting false comments and shit, THE KIND OF SHIT A MOD IS FOR.
Edit 2 I will concede that maybe I posted in haste. I was seeing red for a moment there because how the fuck is a user like that still just out and about commenting.
I would just like anyone who reads this to start being more aware of WHO you are interacting with on Lemmy and be more mindful of the scum around here that have popped up more and more as reddit migrants come in. We should NOT be “tolerant” of these people, they can go fuck off to X and Meta and their other fascy platforms.
Randomly calling people “zionists” raises red flags. Seems more of a bpr to me
Actually, that user has been banned from your instance: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/shoulderoforion@fedia.io
Yes, and he’s no innocent victim. OP has the correct assessment. But agree with everyone else that this comes across as a BPR/YDI, because it was completely out of context.
It’s more useful imo to report the comments of that user each time they say something hateful, so they can get banned on their home instance.
Maybe go read some of his comments and you’ll get it. No we shouldn’t give an inch to people who celebrate death of innocents. and the REASON given for the ban makes zero sense.
If you call someone a Zionist for making an innocuous comment, even if they really are a Zionist, you are still in the wrong because you assume your audience already knows they are one.
Since nobody else knows the history, they just see you being an asshole.
interesting considering the upvotes then. Perhaps it encouraged SOME people to maybe dig into the comment history.
People on Lemmy need to keep their eyes open and stop taking each and every comment at face value and start keeping a working memory of who these users are and how the behave, or else we may as well just let the communities turn into new reddit.
You cannot seriously expect everyone to keep track of hundreds of anonymous handles.
I can probably name like 4 Lemmy users and I only remember those because I like them.
Use a client that allows you to make tags. Not that difficult to immediately label the shitty people like Zionists, Racists, Transphobes, etc.
Label them to yourself, sure. Go around shouting ‘ZIONIST!’ everywhere and you come off a loon.
Guess I care too much about this platform that I’m willing to call out the scum when I see it and not let it spread bringing us all down in the process
