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.
Lol he just showed his true colors and that he deserved it all along.
Yes.
I am not convinced. I prefer debate to bans unless someone explicitly call for genocide or dehumanise people.
I get that but also people who post in europe are getting tired of debating with every idiot who accuses them of being an antisemite, or hypocrite for following Greta Thunberg, or be asked stupid gotcha strawmans like claiming being against Israel is a call for genocide. These types of spaces are great for that kind of debate. But right now the sheer volume of Zionist trolls makes it risky to open Europe up for debate with them which is why they are blanket banned currently.
As I said before, it is up to you but my preference would be to talk to them.
Cretinous behaviour of halfwit Europe@feddit.org mods killed the debate over there, it would be nice to have a place to discuss and even fight them (with words) openly.
I am with you… Modding should not be pre emptive and it should be used as last resort. With that being said, we have some serious bad faith actors trolling here with fresh accounts.
If these bitches can’t use their regular account to speak their opinion, I don’t think they deserve a platform IMHO
Somebody got triggered by the good work done here recently, good 🐸
Yeah, trolls are the entire different matter.
