Buddy won't admit that a bunch of fascists are just bad at collecting data 🤷🏻‍♂️

What do you guys think.

Perhaps they're just overrepresented when it comes to controversies, but a good chunk of the bans on Lemmy seem to be a 'no true Scotsman' approach to users being sufficiently anti-Zionist.

If you watch carefully that extends to different topics too. Having discussions about voting, weapons sales, etc result in bans on some sort of "ism", imperialism, electoralism, whateverism.

Have a discussion about how skewed the actual data is? no way. Zionism if you don't say it's completely made up.

Hilarious that bro thinks he has any leg to stand on with nearly anything when he's the sole moderator of a community with an AI-generated logo.

Yeah, power tripping by virtue of inability to allow respectful discussion on the subject of a highly charged subject.

The ban was 1000% out of scale with anything in the comments. For the ban to be for that reason, which isn't really in the community rules in the first place, it crosses from reasonable into arbitrary personal semantic demands.

Since there's no definition or guidelines given on what they consider Zionism or not, that means they're applying whatever their personal opinion is without any intervening steps to resolve the situation. Which, they can do, it's their community, but the lack of transparency as to what that is makes it one of the classic power trippin' moves.

It's also egregious enough that I really think the mod is question may need admin intervention, possibly removal.

I agree, PTB.

!manufacturingConsent@lemmy.ml was a nice community, it nows seems more buildingConsent for new progroms .

May be geneva will change their very expansive definitition of zionism, I like a lot of their posts, but I suspect that their definition is against instance rule 1 (bigotry....).

Unclear thread but Forsho, the guy you defended, is a well known zionist and tankie, supporting Russia to annex Ukraine and saying PRC should take over RoC

Doesn't seem like you are.

There's a problem with the data, show how there is overrepresentation in one group and underrepresentation in the other group.

Thought terminating "it's all made up" does nothing to hold fascists accountable.

Reminder that Geneva was banned for antisemitism on .ml by the admins.

PTB from them as usual.

I needed to see this today.

I think Geneva may have sold their account, just got banned for Zionism too…
