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 every chance you get, you choose to avoid addressing the actual issue of why you’re banning users for breaking a rule that they very clearly did not break. You choose to concentrate on the part where I hurt your feelings 😭 instead of the underlying lie that the other user was inciting violence in the comment that got them banned.

    Take your bitch ass to Jon like you did with Wren, go on, I fucking DARE you.

    Lol, nice job completely misreading what happened there… I have to assume it’s on purpose.
