An error message appears saying "The following are not allowed: no zionist, no zionists" when users try to add the phrase to their bios, but any number of other phrases about political and religious preferences are allowed.

    any phrase I could think of: “no Arabs,” “no Blacks,” “no Palestinians,” “no Muslims,” “no Christians,” “no Jews,” “no trans,” “no Republicans,” “no Democrats”

    Um okay, but next time think harder. No fascists, no genocide supporters, no apartheid fans, no Trumpists, no book burners, no snitches, no narcs, no skinwalkers.

      Why would it stop you from putting any of those in yohe bio? Or more to the point, it doesn’t stop you from putting all those. It only stops you from putting ‘no zionists’. Now why would that be?

    If they did, they may be on shaky legal ground in IHRA jurisdictions like the UK and Germany.
