edit with NO WARNING I was banned from the Ukraine community... on my own instance
edit2 a post asking why I was removed and banned was also removed, lol this is pathetic
edit3 after reaching out to @QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz in direct message he immediately chose to accuse me of going off the rails for insight into sopuli.xyz

To be clear, I despise people who are antisemitic, I can't stand it not only is it an evil ideology it reduces complex problems to "blame the jews!" which I think is stupid as hell on top of being hateful as hell. Judge people for their actions not the religions they warp into justification for their actions.

Removed Comment > Don't try to pretend Iran doesn't deserve it. Cool so you know that collective punishment is a war crime right? You do understand you just admitted to supporting that casually without realizing that normal people do not think this way right? You aren't supposed to give the game away that easy lol.... What the actual fuck.... by supersquirrel reason: r3
Removed Comment So would you consider continually assassinating the Iranians we are trying to make a peace deal with while also repeatedly using peace making processes as bad faith covers for massive bombing campaigns meant to humiliate leadership in Iran that chooses foolishly to respond in good faith to the peace negotiation process... something we just had to do because we are stuck in a war? What a laughable argument. What are you on about? The US and Israel started BOTH recent outbreaks of war against Iran, that is what the facts are. by supersquirrel reason: R3
I demand a specific answer, as well as a reason as mods you chose to silence this discussion instead of weigh in on it. This is an issue DIRECTLY relevant to Ukraine and NOTHING of my criticism of Israel and the US has anything to do with being a Nazi or being antisemitic, I am deeply disappointed in this community.
I take this seriously, I do not like being labelled a Nazi and if you are going to throw that around back up your assertions or stop lazily participating in a narrative of silence around these topics.
Regarding the decision, it's quite a stretch to claim @supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz being a Nazi. The idea was criticism towards Israel, and apparently it got misinterpreted as antisemitism.
Looks like I have to explain what's the reasoning behind the rule 3. I didn't want to make a long list of exact kind of behaviors and organizations that are not allowed on Sopuli and clutter the sidebar. Instead I listed several known bad movements so that the users could get a good picture of what kinds of people are not wanted here. Nazis, incels and QAnon, they all share a really warped and hostile view of the world that is black-and-white, and violence has been associated with all of them. And "similar whackos" can be found by looking at what the ADL and CDDH for example list as hate groups.
I don't think I use the word "Nazi" in a too broad sense like on Lemmygrad or Hexbear. In those places a Nazi can be anyone supporting Ukraine or a social democrat for example.
@QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz I was just banned from the Ukraine community, something is very wrong here.

The post I made was removed
Also it seems like the person there is continuing to remove comments that don't actually violate rule 3 and has banned the OP. It might be worth stepping in since that's not a good look for Sopuli.
