I mean it's .world, soooo yeah
I’m familiar with this person’s moderation behavior. They’re a Zionist.
PTBs. Genocide wouldn't exist without them.
Oh yeah that mod's one of the biggest Zionists on Lemmy.
- Who also says totally doesn't let it impact their mod behavior
  
  ... as we all can see in this example.
Coincidently the same mod posted these Israeli lies:

- And got downvoted af.
PTB for all the fucking obvious reasons.
PTB because rule 1 - "Be civil" is super inappropriate when it comes to an ongoing genocide and removing someone calling out propaganda in an impolite way is in a way taking sides
more on a personal note: Are you really sure you are helping Palestinians with this kind of online posting? Like I think you could actually make reasonable arguments instead of making snarky comments. Also every comment under Israeli propaganda increases the reach of said propaganda, especially on Lemmy where comments increase the "Active" metric by a lot and push otherwise ignored posts into the feed of thousands
- One could argue that tone policing about ongoing genocide to keep it going is tye height of civility.
  But I'm just being a bitter pedant. PTB, may it drown in its own rancid piss someday.
- I actually second that. Block the suckers and move on. Worst case they end in a small eccochamber. Best case they end up yelling into empty space.
  
  Blocking the mods doesn't stop them removing your comments because they justify genocide.
to each his own
The words on the entrance of Auschwitz are an antisemitic dogwhistle.
- Those words predate the Holocaust by centuries. It’s been a common English phrase since forever. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/to_each_his_own
- What?
  
  It’s the Buchenwald concentration camp, not Auschwitz.
- Context because somehow it seems to hard for the user to actually link any relavent explaination. I
  Important to note: Even the Buchenwald comitee themselves are not calling the words "to each his own" a dogwhistle when used in the english language.
