Why was a defederation request post locked deleted and the poster banned?
There was a very recent post requesting a defederation with lemmygrad.ml.
The post was requesting it due to a large amount of anti Israeli posts and celebrations of the deaths of Israeli citizens both military and civilian.
I've checked the modlog in hopes of understanding why those actions were taken, but no note was left. I'd like to ask why those actions were taken. Thanks!
I for one am in favor. I strongly dislike them and the hexbears. They talk all kinds of shit about being open to arguing and dunking on libs, they'll brigade other instances and communities, but ban you for having a different opinion in their instance. It's wild.
Yup. Got banned for telling an admin to stop throating putin's cock. Admittedly fairly charged language, but fucking accurate.
Fun fact they immediately whatabout'd the US working with nazis. Like, shit fam we can both agree that's bad, why the fuck do you only have a problem when I criticize you for licking authoritarian boots?
For real. Meanwhile they always seem to forget the thousands of Nazi scientists hired by the USSR after WW2. What coincidence 🤪
Edit:
I got banned from hexbear for saying something like it's "based that for free Biden's admin got the IMF to loan Pakistan money at the cost of sending weapons to Ukraine to fight our enemies for free."
I got banned from Lemmygrad for pointing out that China is a fasco-capitalst state that manipulates its currency to keep the party members rich and factory workers poor, which doesn't feel very socialist to me.
The situation in the Middle East is very nuanced people with serious legitimate grievances on every side. Getting multiple view points we disagree with is healthy.
This issue is very emotional for a lot of people. As a community we're going to have to give some leeway to people reacting emotionally, before we de-federate.
You're absolutely correct, the thing I take issue with is no matter how nuanced the issue is, they are members of lemmygrad.ml cheering for the deaths of innocent civilians.
No matter what the situation is, that's really not ok and that's why the user was making the ask.
I just dislike that their collective emotional reaction always seems perfectly calculated to be to the benefit of the CCP or Russia, no matter the topic.
It definitely did, but it didn't seem all that different from similar requests in the past. My experience has been that people will typically either agree or disagree and lay out reasons why.
