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.

    For fuck’s sake, It’s not the ban I care about.

    Man, this is hopeless. You’ve pigeonholed me, made up your mind and that’s it. You perceive this whole interaction as me moaning about the ban, so you dismiss anything I have to say and talk down on me. This isn’t a discussion for you, there is no chance to communicate here anything. Bah.

      No, there is no discussion when what you wrote is 100% clear. Where we go from here is entirely up to you.

      Keep your nose clean in the communities I mod and we’ll have no problem. You might even find I’m on your side more often than you think.

      Revert to calling for violence again and you’ll get bounced with a quickness.
