Drama in the Fediverse
Welcome to the Lemmy Drama community!
This is a place to share and enjoy drama across the fediverse. Grab your popcorn, and dive in!
Rules:
1. Don't bring your own drama.
If you are a part of the drama, don't post it here. We're here to enjoy drama, not see it brought to this community.
2. Be civil.
No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. No ongoing drama.
if there’s been a comment in the past 3 days, wait until it’s settled down.
5. No interacting with the drama you find here.
That means no upvotes, no downvotes, and no commenting in the original thread.
6. Keep the drama focused on Lemmy and/or the fediverse only.
If it’s Kbin or Mastodon drama, it must be a quality effort post.
7. Don’t piss on the popcorn.
Inciting brigades is an automatic ban.
8. Mod Perogative
We reserve the right to enforce the rules however we like.

A major cause of this is .World users proclaiming their superiority of "non-censorship" and their continuous barrage of insults against other instances.
What helps is having the veil lifted a bit so users realize .World is not 'the only sane instance'. Every instance has its biases and censorships. Though banning users on false pretenses is a new low for /WorldNews.
Don't worry, 9 months of debunking Zionists gets you a pretty strong mental. There is such a stark difference in the comment section since I started that even the most ardent Zionists have converted to concern trolling about Trump since defending israel is a lost cause.
And I'm glad you have written that down here for others to observe.
It is, albeit ever so slightly. Reddit had full lockdown on censorship and Lemmy clearly doesn't have that.
When users start noticing the censorship they will migrate, not beforehand. This is the reason these posts calling out power abuse are important.
Yeah I'm not a fan of the MBFC bot or censorship. An article about first-hand accounts by some survivors about the school bombing earlier this week was removed because it was Mondoweiss
Although tbh, I think when you insult people, even Zionists, it puts you in a bad light. It's better just to source and debunk.
I've seen both FlyingSquid and Jordanlund advocate for an end to the genocide and Apartheid, I wouldn't call them Zionists. I don't think the ban was deserved, but neither of you were that civil in the DMs
Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis have all done terrible things. They're all right wing reactionary resistance armies that formed under violent oppressive foreign intervention such as colonialism, occupation, or blockades. That kind of violence doesn't come out of nowhere, but both need to be solved
Wow you are more delusional every day
