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 you quote the thing that proves you wrong and say “hey, this proves me right.”

      Rule 6: Do not advocate violence.

      Removed comment #1:

      “I advocate for Ukrainians to fight for their freedom, VIOLENTLY, WITH GUNS”

      “DID THE RIGHT THING and KILLED WITH VIOLENCE AND GUNS”

      bzzt - Removed.

      Removed comment #2, following being warned, which earned the temp ban:

      "Death to…
      Death to…
      Death to…
      Death to… "

      What part of no advocating violence is fucking unclear to you assholes? No, we aren’t going to let users call for Death.
