Europe community on dbzer0

Smug Ideology Man - Divisions by zero

I recently created a Europe community on lemmy.dbzer0.com to act as an alternative to the Europe community on Feddit.org since that one has had some controversy and is becoming less viable for discussing current events in Europe, especially relating to Israel.

The new community allows much of the same content as on the old one but also allows news and discussions related to the conflict in Israel and disallows genocide apologia (can't believe I have to advertise this as a feature). If that sounds like something you're interested in I urge you to check out !europe@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I agree, thank you, I think the Fediverse has immense potential and you are helping defend it while longterm allowing a safer future for Palestinians AND Jews.

Just a question: how/why was I already banned for "zionism" a week ago despite never being active there and not even participating in this discussion?

What’s defined as genocide apologia?
Do the following cross the line?
Israel has a right to defend itself.
Hamas oppresses Gazans and is an obstacle to peace.
Hamas has repeatedly announced to want to repeat an October 7 style attack as soon as they are able to.
There have been protests going on for weeks in Gaza demanding Hamas to let the hostages go and give up power in Gaza (Hamas out!, Hamas barra barra!) to end the war.
One third of Gazans wanted to emigrate before the war started.
Serious and powerful people make arguments that the war in Gaza is not a genocide.
Would you consider Abu Mazen’s thesis to be genocide apologia?
Is this specific to Israel or are genocide of Armenians, Uyghurs, Rohingya, and others covered as well?
- Do the following cross the line?
  Yes, you know this.

  You don't care about them until its convenient to do so.

To be fair, there isn't any real controversy going on. Thanks to Lemmy we can have a look at the modlog and see what the mods do, and so far they seem to be doing a very good job at feddit.org.
- Having the modlog actions being publicly visible doesn't mean there isn't or can't be controversy. FYI there has been controversy with how both europe on Feddit and Feddit themselves have chosen to moderate and how they've responded to the situation. It's well documented and compiled at !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com so I won't go into detail here but suffice to say if you think there isn't controversy and drama on Lemmy you've either been living under a rock or really don't understand how social dynamics play out on social platforms.
  
  you put an extra "p" in there, I think you meant !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
  
  Thanks for the link.
  I see some people confused about how AutoMod works here on Lemmy,
  people rage-baiting each other and we can discuss that. I always think it's super distasteful when the topic is actual people loosing their lives, so I might be okay with the mods cracking down on that. It might be tricky though for the mods to get it right.
  And then I see some people whining about posts getting locked? And I don't get that. Seems they're in a transitioning period with their moderation. And locking means they didn't even delete anything.
  So there's a huge pile of misinformation there. Maybe there's a few warranted complains buried underneath that, but I didn't find them. Most of the deleted posts are from super agitated people anyways, contain a lot of words like "idiots", swearwords and personal attacks. And that's generally what we moderate here on Lemmy.
  Idk, are you pro or contra deleting stuff and banning people? Because you yourself sure seem to be quick with the ban-hammer and handing out false accusations?!
- Thanks for the ban. You really seem to be fun people. /s
  
  Could probably be reported on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
