I would certainly have added an NSFW tag before I post it. When I first saw it in my feed, I wish you had tagged it.
post
My guess is it violates rule 3 or 4.
rule 4 being "No NSFW...", which I agree with.
(rule 3 is "no AI or digital art"; I think this is a real photograph.)
I've alway been loudly against the Gaza Geocide, and when I was a user in lemmy.world my registration e-mail was leaked to Israel and a Tel-Aviv based organization sent me via it an invitation for a "learn about Israel" online event, in my mother language.
Since only an admin has access to user registration information like that, I can only conclude that lemmy.world's administration has at least one person working for Israel.
Further, at least one of the moderators of news@lemmy.world has admitted elsewhere of being a Zionist.
Already back in the peak of the Gaza Genocide there was a lot of suppressing of news about Israeli attacks on civilians in the most subscribed forums in there and still now it's pretty common in lemmy.world forums to have moderators censor criticism of Israel by claiming it's "anti-semitism".
So this is no surprise at all. In fact I myself was only surprised by, yesterday, seeing the post with that picture in a big lemmy.world forum long enough to already have over 100 upvotes - judging by this post here, guess that the people in lemmy.world in charge of making sure such things are suppressed were asleep when that post was made.
The censorship thing is what I've noticed as well since the start of their instance. There are bookmarks that I've saved that are no longer available. They seem to be using the reddit way of letting things run their course and then remove it when things settle down and people move on to next thing, so no records remain. Fortunately, some instance do save some snippets.
I've also been warning users that they're behind cloudflare and all data between users and the server is decrypted in clear text, but it seems no one's paying attention. I wouldn't be surprised if people from reddit are behind it.
Use it to browse memes and cat pictures but never for politics and messaging. A temporary mail would be better too.
Did you use that email anywhere else? What was the organization called?
Just removed?
Not power tripping.
Is it debatable if the image is or isn't NSFL? Sure, but that's inherent to moderation; judgement calls suck to make, but they do need to be made quickly when something is sensitive.
I personally wouldn't have removed the post without also contacting the poster to repost with an nsfw tag, but it is well within acceptable limits to pull something fast when a shit storm starts brewing in comments. Ideal, no; but also not power tripping
Yeah, the general tenor of the lemmy.world pics community is to avoid politics (based on my read of their rules) so removing the post seems in line with that.
Correct: OP's mistake was in engaging with a community on .world in the first place.
I wonder if the bereaved parents consider the mass murder of their children “politics?”
i was in that thread yesterday. it was likely taken down due to the comments getting out of hand.
and they absolutely were getting out of hand, imho.
Isn't that what locking is for?
They should’ve locked the post.
Guess question is for theprogressivest

Lemmy has a lot of pro Israel bias
Haven't really seen that. Seems to be some not wanting all Israelis to be killed level of support. But little support of Israeli military actions in Gaza, wb, or elsewhere.
Agree. I see an anti Israel opinion every 30 seconds. Almost never see anything directly pro Israel. A lot of random accusations of Zionism though
For those who follow the actual Principle that only people's actions dictate what they deserve happens to them (not things they did not chose, such as race, gender or nationality), it makes total sense to be against the actions of Israel and wanting those who commit them to be punished proportionally to the harm they cause whilst not wanting for people to be punished merelly for being Israeli.
It's absolutelly consistent for anybody who is a natural leftwinger because of having personal principles around treating people fairly, to both be against Israeli aggression and not want all Israelis to be punished as a group, as both things cause suffering to people who don't deserve it.
(Now, punishment to Israelis knowingly supporting the murderous actions in Gaza and, even more, those ordering and commiting such actions, that's absolutelly fair).
Only the Racists look at those things with a "they are all the same" mindset and thus want entire groups of people sharing nationality or ethnicity to suffer due to the actions of some.
Lemmy.world - absolutelly. In fact I have reason to believe at least on of their admins works for Israel.
Same for the German servers - they too censor anything critical of Israel by claiming that according to German law it's "anti-semitism" so they have to take it down.
The rest - not at all: most are Anarchist or Leftwing - from mild to autocratic - and thus deeply against the whole murderous white supremacist colonialist mindeset and actions of Israel.
Have you not figured out yet that a big part of the problem is that you made your account on .world?
PTB: the moderator permanently bans critical vegan voices.
