All from in this thread in [email protected] 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, @[email protected] (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 @[email protected] 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.
It’s been a couple of weeks since @[email protected] was in here defending genocide. I almost missed the ugly fucking zio. Automatic PTB for anything he touches with his scummy little fingers.
Now all we need is @[email protected] in here to tell us how he’s misunderstood and really a good guy and we’re all being unfair.
Me:
Hi, my comments were deleted in politics for “internet slap fighting.” I read the rules of that community and don’t see “arguing” as a rule violation. I also find the term “slap fight” to be extremely sexist especially directed at me as a woman, especially since it’s not mentioned in your rules and the mod used that term on their own. I don’t see where I violated the rules with those comments. Please reinstate my comments, and please fire the mod who is abusing their power to be sexist against women with opinions.
Linebreak Me to outrageousmatter (refused to answer bc he is a coward too)

In light of recent civil rights erosion towards women, and how few openly woman users there are on Lemmy, having a sexist mod in charge of a politics community is completely unacceptable.

Your continual back and forth with “Soup” (btw, how funny is that statement out of context? Arguing with Soup? It’s like the “women lauging at salad” meme) wasn’t productive or healthy for either of you or for the group.
Not picking sides, just removed all of it.
Linebreak Me: if mods can just remove comments based on whims? Is that fair or just?
I think what I said was very well reasoned and made two great points. Arguments are learning opportunities for everyone. Besides, my argument with them finished yesterday and these comments were removed today. We hadn’t kept on arguing.
I can understand removing comments in arguments that violate rules. Eg me calling him a coward directly. I get that, that should be removed. But even in your own community’s rules, it says we can insult an idea or policy, just not a person. I don’t think it’s appropriate to unilaterally delete comments that don’t violate rules. It tends to suppress the speech of people who are marginalized and not status quo thinkers.
Thank you for your response.
(His response was to refuse to reinstate my comments which were productive and deserve to be heard, but gotta protect other men (I was arguing with a sexist who lost the argument), huh, while making jokes and laughing about my entire gender losing rights. I genuinely hope he gets ass cancer and shits blood).
Do you have receipts for that? That's really fucked up if he does.
Here's some screencaps, they read bottom to top
He is a petulant little child. Like a mini-Trump.
JordanLund is only mad at Trump because he's a Republican. If he was a slightly better looking Democrat he'd support his polices.
Exactly, I've literally argued with him that Clinton was a bad person, with connections to Epstein and who denigrated her husband's abuse victims, who literally stole our right to vote from us by paying off the DNC for an unfair election primary (admitted to in court). And if she was a feminist (and not an asshole gaining benefits from feminism while pulling up the ladder behind her), then she would support medical care for all, which she explicitly doesn't. Getting women healthcare is one of the most feminist things a person can do and it is quite basic and goes back thousands of years.
He got really mad about that.
I'm not shocked at all that he supports Clinton despite the history of him and his wife.
Narcissism gonna narcissism
I can't find the deleted comments bc he later permabanned me for this (below) post, which also doesn't violate any rules (all sources are reputable)- https://lemmy.world/comment/13431373
What I posted above is literally a copy+paste of my DMs, I can post a screencap of it
