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
I’m going to go with PTB-BPR maybe?
Don’t get me wrong, fuck that guy in the picture. I’ve seen his comments - but just blatantly bringing it up when a lot of users aren’t even going to know who he is (including the mod) it’s understandable. So from their perspective it just looks like you called someone a zionist for no reason.
But from my own perspective? PTB.
Accusing someone of being a Zionist when no Zionist issue has been brought up is often a sign of a right-wing lunatic. Without the comment having some connection to Zionism, you cannot expect the mods to have the same full list of user histories that you do. You had the full context of the user’s history - the mods likely did not. BPR.
Again, the REASON given, makes zero sense. the PARENT comment of this comment thread is in support of Ukraine and the topic at hand.
And I would argue that yes, is IS the job of a mod to actually do some homework before rendering a ban.

Man, a few of us are terminally online, but most mods are doing this as a part-time service during their recreation time. Not everyone has the time. You want the mods to know something, you have to tell them.
All I can say is maybe don’t be a mod of a very important community like the Ukraine Comm if you don’t have time to take it seriously ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Bruh, we’re putting in what we can. We’re unpaid volunteers on a small site of Reddit exiles.
It’s a sign of antisemitism. That’s not confined to the right-Wing, but widespread across the political spectrum.
I knew who the user was before I even opened this. Everytime I see that username in a news or politics sub I’m surprised they haven’t been banned. Don’t know if this was the right place to call them out, but I get your frustration.
Maybe someone should raise the issue to the fedia.io admin? @jerry@fedia.io ?
Thanks for tagging me. That account is banned/suspended now.
