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’d like to disagree with you. The whole purpose (or at least the stated purpose, but that would mean that the creator lied) was to create a community “free of censorship”

    To lure people into the community with the promise of a community “free of censorship” and then censor in the opposite way is just wrong.

      I don’t think that was the intent at all. What the mod of the new Europe community objects to is the censorship by feddit mods of anything critical of Israel or critical of Zionism.

      Fact is we aren’t a “free speech” instance and have never claimed to be. The community rules are in fact very clear that Zionism isn’t allowed (see below). Anyone who want to go whine about how the leftists at dbzer0 are all terrorist Hamas supporters because we want to stop Israel from starving children to death can go join the circle jerk over at feddit I guess.

      1. No Zionism

      Any forms of Zionism or Zionist rhetoric will not be tolerated here, this includes Zionist apologia, accusations of antisemitism towards anti-Zionists, or blatant denial or downplaying of the genocide towards Palestinians. Any attempt to uphold or prop up the IHRA definition of antisemitism, will be treated as Zionism. Anyone engaging in Pro-Zionist sentiment or apologia will be actioned in accordance with its severity.

        Yes I made it very clear and upfront that Zionist apologia is not allowed, I never said or claimed it was a free speech community or that there wouldn’t be censorship. The fact that this thread was swarmed with sockpuppet trolls attacking me and the community just further proves I’m on the right path, and I will continue to issue bans to people acting like Zionist trolls or apologists.

      If you review most recent threads here, you will notice that we got some shill op underway.

      While I hate censorship, in this case we are facing bad faith actors using throw away accounts. They are not here for discussion, this is retaliation for feddit.org europe community being exposed for being genocide enablers and apologists of israel and zionists.
