Important note that this is just a community ban, not an instance ban. Mm is not an admin.

That said, MM has always been a bit trigger happy. This wouldn't be even noticed if they didn't moderate so many comms, or if the modlog would automatically conflate all comm bans by one mod into a single entry.

Anyway, I do find that jumping to call people zionists or nazis at the drop of a hat is not healthy

But both rimu and Skavau are defending Kaplans actions of defedederating anarchist nexus and mostly likely db0 soon. Hell rimu followed without question.

Actions always speak louder than words (or in this case pictures)

Rimus comments in question. Seems like hes very concerned about people defending luminous, less so about the admin of the largest instance being a zionist.

deserved it, 'flags in banner' is pretty tangential and no defense for behavior. mrkaplan is very clearly a zionist and anyone apologizing for him is sus

I will say I prefer 'death to zionism' because it's the ideology of that ethnostate which should die and is not worth saving. people can learn

I don't have much informations about the admin and piefed. Does they generally remove zionist comments and ban zionists users?

Putting a Palestinian flag means nothing, if Israeli apologist still run free and people rejected Palestinians right to armed resistance

I don't reply here often because when people make posts like this, especially on other people's behalf I usually get harassed and insulted (this one's no different, considering the transphobia in the comments). But I do have to clarify because it's important.

Rimu has recently been defending the actions of MrKaplan, who has been using his power as a LW admin to promote Zionism, and by defending that they are indirectly apologizing for Zionism. It doesn't matter if they supported Palestine before or if they still do now. They're currently apologizing for and defending a Zionist. Which is why they were banned. They are not the first person banned for that either, a lot of LW accounts have been banned for Zionist apologia and many more will likely follow.

It would be kind of like if someone who's a trans ally started defending someone who was insulting trans people for getting gender affirming care. It doesn't matter how much they supported trans people in the past or claim to support them now. They are defending and promoting a transphobe.

Ah yes, watermelon emoji, Palestine flag, very nice.

Now ask them if they support armed resistance against the IDF violating & massacring people. Whether they support Israel's right to exist, whether they think settlers are civilians like anyone else.

You're simply not built for this are you OP? You would have figured it out years ago. If you "support Palestinians" you don't just cry about them being killed by a system you are complicit in. You at the very least support the political line of Hamas with regards to its ally & benefactor Iran.

That's what it means to actually fight back. Not just say shit online.

link the juicy drama! https://lemmy.world/post/45909721

ctrl+f for rimu if you want

This doesn't even make sense. How is supporting palestine "emulating a zionist". Is this mod just an idiot?

the more I dig into them, I'm not so sure @Rimu@piefed.social is a zionist.
