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.
They are welcome to, but nobody is allowed to call for violence in our communites. It’s right there in the rules.
Their right to revolution doesn’t supercede our right to run our communities according to our rules.
Communities dont belong to you or any authoritarian, communities belong to the people who make up the community itself, and that’s pretty obvious. The reason you are so hated is bc YOU think you’re doing a worthwhile role “for the community,” when youre actually hurting the community and gaslighting them when they tell you that. Having mod privileges and server privileges doesnt make you more of the community than anyone else, and abusing that power is why you’re hated (like all authoritarians). And you act like you have a shriveled up tiny dried earthworm dick
I’m sorry, but you’re absolutely wrong in that.
Communities get created by individuals and they do, in fact own them. They are moderated in accordance with the rules outlined in the sidebar.
If you don’t like those rules, feel free to create your own community, with hookers and blackjack.
That’s actually how !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world was created. The mod there reached out and asked “Hey, since !politics@lemmy.world doesn’t allow self posts and videos, would you mind if I created a community that does?”
I was like “Dude, you don’t need MY permission! Go for it!” When they set it up, I even linked to it as a partner community from the politics sidebar.
I really like being able to direct people to the correct community when I have to remove a post.
Wrong
A group of people. That you are ONE of, who has powers to police the community per agreed upon rules, and to jot abuse those powers. You abuse your powers, according to the community en masse.
I have no problem with the rules, don’t strawman. I ahbe a problem with your enforcement of tbe rules, which is arbitrary and often sexist, and often not based on any stated rule at all.
That this is your response to being called a shitty abusive mod is telling. Way to be so bad at your job, a shit ton of people hate the way you do it. Wow, good job buddy
The community doesn’t get to set the norms on lemmy. That’s done first by the instance admins, then by the creator of the community, then by the moderators of the community.
If you aren’t one of the above, you don’t get a say in how that community is run. You are welcome to participate, within the established guidelines, or not.
If you can’t, or won’t abide by the rules of a given community:
I did abide by the stated rules of the community. I had comments deleted and was permabanned anyway. With no explanation on which specific thing was wrong. As you’ve been told ad nauseum, you little weaselly worm.
We literally know you are abusing your powers by refusing to listen to members of the community, that is entirely the criticism here. Learn to read, kiddo. We do get a “say,” and we say you’re shit.
You got permabanned repeatedly pushing a debunked election conspiracy theory. Get the fuck over yourself.
Debunked? Souce?
And I have sources including the TREASURY DEPARTMENT saying otherwise
You’d have to go state by state, but here you go to get you started:
California:
https://elections.sbcounty.gov/faqs/not-connected-to-internet/
"No. According to California Elections Code section 19205, “no part of a voting system shall be connected to the internet at any time, or electronically receive or transmit election data through any exterior communications network.”
Colorado:
https://coloradonewsline.com/2024/10/15/colorado-voting-machines-not-connected-to-the-internet/
"Most counties in Colorado have upgraded their voting systems equipment since 2020 to models that physically cannot connect to the internet, and those that rely on older machines are statutorily required to disable any wireless capability.
Election officials say that even the older models do not create a vulnerability in the voting system, as some conservative politicians and activists claim."
Texas:
https://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/conducting/security-update.shtml
“No voting system is ever connected to the internet at any point - either when votes are being cast or when they are being counted. (Sec. 129.054, Texas Election Code).”
Washington D.C.
https://dcboe.org/getmedia/0af1fe48-d63c-4ec5-8bcf-ca61f2c2de5e/Cyber-Security-detail.pdf
“It is important to note that DC’s voting machines are never connected to the internet; voting machines have tamper- resistant seals; and our machines are audited regularly while we continually update our equipment with the latest technologies and protections.”
You can do the other 47 states yourself, I’m not going to spoon feed you.
Don’t complain about the backslash then for your stupid rules. Nobody care about your dumb excuses. Death to the idf whatever you like it or not
