I was just perusing the modlog when I noticed something interesting. Apparently posting news about Gaza/Palestine is not allowed on !worldnews@sh.itjust.works. I decided to check the side bar and didn’t see anything. The only pinned post also does not indicate that this is not allowed

edit: the mod in question is @Eyekaytee@aussie.zone . sorry for not originally tagging. i hadn’t realized it was a rule that this must be done. i thought it seemed inappropriate since i was trying to initiate a conversation about a community’s rules and culture rather than start drama about an individual

    they’ll remove their posts to make you seem like you lied.

    it’s that or straight up gaslighting. When I called out the widespread use of ‘degenerate’ on meanwhile on grad being used to dehumanize whatever ‘tankies’ that they were sneering at, I provided 3 examples of different users doing that; one of those users in a direct reply to goat.

    none of the posts in question got removed

    goat has since said that ‘oh it was only one user’ - never mind that it was only the most egregious user out of all the examples I happened to provide (not an exhaustive list).

        I linked the post; according to goat ‘a lot’ of context is coming soon™

        From the context that exists it sounds like the dehumanizing language is calling them fascists? I would love to have them elaborate so it can be addressed rather than vaguely gesturing.
