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.

    I’m seeing users banned simply for expressing opinions that aren’t popular on the platform, even when those opinions are presented thoughtfully and without inflammatory language.

    Good. Stop allowing the human filth to hide behind honeyd words and start punishing them for their actual opinions

    • Agreed. If we allow horrible people to run wild in communities just because they’re being polite communities would be toxic as fuck. There is no polite or acceptable transphobia, there is no polite or acceptable Zionism. That shit is a cancer that needs to be cut out of any community where you see it growing. I’m sick of seeing people stand up for and apologize for hateful evil people like that because they’re “being poltie” or “just expressing ‘opinions’ man” fuck that.

      Think about your words there. Let’s say that you were getting banned by republicans. And they’re reasoning was: “Good. Stop allowing the human filth to hide behind honeyd words and start punishing them for their actual opinions”

      See how that works? I don’t know if you are in the US, but here in the use, we do have freedom of opinion–even if it’s an unsavory shitty opinion.

          Name-calling, nice. Notice I haven’t called you any names.

          Here’s the thing: You’re pro-censorship. I’m anti-censorship.

          Disengage. We’re not gonna agree. All good, friend.
