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.
lmao imagine thrawling my account and all you can find is a factually correct statement.
for everyone else, the context is the following: I wrote “jews” and the other person told me to capitalize it to “Jews” because you capitalize “nationality names” and judaism apparently was a nationality (the one of Israel) (makes absolutely no sense, I know).
It’s not factually true, although they gave you the wrong reason.
You capitalize “Jews” for the same reason you capitalize “Christians” or “Muslims” or “Episcopalians”. The names of religions or religious groups are capitalized when used as nouns.
I gave him the right reason and he was referring to nationality/ethnicity and not to the religion in his original post. Although yes, even his made up explanations don’t make sense.
I did not even know this but yes going forward all lower case!
Oh you’re a pizza cutter, my mistake.
akshually a grammer nazi
You are still fucking slow 🤣
