Due to the severity of the situation and the fast flowing news cycle, we have decided to create a general megathread for discussion regarding the conflict.

Informal/Satirical news sources are not allowed on the main feed of the community but you are free to post them in this thread.

Please remember that all community and instance rules apply to this thread hence keep is civil.

It's being extremely heavily moderated. (Not just the defederation.) You can gather the political stance by what comments remain.

    Yeah, it's not the easiest to read because most of the censorship is "user was banned from community". Which seems to remove the comments as well.

    The only comment text listed in the modlog are the truly vile ones.

    Is there anywhere on Lemmy that is allowing open discussion of this? Or is the censorship high enough up that it's not possible on Lemmy?

    That's what I've been looking for too, I think maybe I need to make an account somewhere that doesn't defederste from anyone with differing opinions?

    It seems 'People who disagree with me are ontological evil and should be silenced' isn't the best place to get news and accurate information from.

    Sometimes you remove comment and then ban the user and the comment removal hasn't had time to propagate. But yeah, the vileness you see is the ballpark for what we remove.

    Can you look at this one by @Pipoca 2 hours ago? I won't paste the full text here for obvious reasons, but it seems pretty reasonable, mostly facts, and not vile at all. It just looks like a bad case of overmoderation.

    mod Removed Comment - There's a few things going on.

    If I recall correctly it described a genocide primarily through the lense of a two sided religious conflict. We remove that stuff as genocide apologia.
