As you might have noticed, there was a bit of drama lately around the moderation of !europe@feddit.org and feddit.org in general, with a result being the creation of !Europe@lemmy.dbzer0.com.

So, I just checked the modlogs for unrelated reasons and stumbled upon this:

I have never engaged with this new community nor have I participated in any discussion around the aforementioned issues before the ban. I made one comment yesterday that refers to the discussion and one comment three days ago arguing about the way the feddit admins argued their point and stating the holocaust was on a much larger scale than the genocide against Palestine.

I don’t know if I want this situation to be remedied though as this to me looks like guilty by association (I engage a lot with communities on feddit.org since I’m german and it’s the largest german instance with a lot of relevant communities, so, duh) but I want to know if I oversaw something or if this is the style of moderation in the new community or the whole instance.

    Not YDI but not PTB. Both sides are in the right. Saying the holocaust was worse than what Israel is doing in Gaza is a true statement but at the same time sounds like you are trying to make what is happening in Gaza seem like not a big deal (which it is) and sounds like zionist apologia if you don’t make it obvious you dislike what Israel are doing.

      First check the dates. As mentioned, the ban happened a week ago, the comment you’re referring to was posted afterwards.

      Second, isn’t it enough to state that Israel is conducting a genocide against Palestine to make clear I’m against that? I mean, who actually likes genocides (except for some rare weird and dangerous lunatics)?

        No, not when paired with zionist apologia. It would be like saying 'The nazis are committing genocide, but they still have a right to exist". The net outcome of the two statements is barely more than a finger wag.

        Isreal must be stopped at all costs, including the dissolution of Israel as a Jewish state if necessary.

          That isn’t what I originally banned them for. I updated the entry in the modlog to include a link to the original comment which got them banned but that comment doesn’t help their cause should they want to get an appeal later.

          I didn’t though.
