Germany already did something similar, they really don’t want us to insult or put down the Führer. Both would have you believe they’re for ‘non-authoritarian reasons’.

Grad is defederated here thankfully, it’s possible from the thread they made on !chapotraphouse@lexbear.net that they’ll defed from dbzer0 in the future, so at least here on dbzer0 it might not be an issue for much longer.

Ignore them, they are a troll and aren’t likely acting in good faith.

Yeah I didn’t realize how bad it was until @Nakoichi@hexbear.net decided to make a fraudulent report which urged me to investigate. Now that I know, I’m cleaning house here.

I may have been a bit hyperbolic calling Germany a ‘police state’ at the same time not exactly since places where you can be arrested for non-violent speech are not far off from police states. Some people don’t believe it’s that bad but I’ve heard horror stories of these laws being used against people the government disagrees with. That has happened and will happen again.

I already got banned for criticizing Germany, I don’t want to get banned for defending them as well! ;)

Unless you’re defending or justifying Germany’s legislated Zionism that’s unlikely. Rule 2 doesn’t forbid people from defending Germany it only forbids defending Zionism, Zionist practices, Zionist laws, which can in some cased be thought of as defending Germany. CyberEgg certainly thought so, but he quickly started accusing me of genocide and antisemitism when I pointed out the comment he was banned for so…

They’re separate because at the moment there’s a lot of people who are intentionally or unintentionally confusing Anti-Zionist movements with antisemitism. Antisemitism is hate speech and bigotry which is banned under rule 1. Zionism and it’s corresponding genocide denial is also hate speech but is separated into its own rule for clarity and to also make it clear that polite or “civil” Zionism isn’t welcome either. That’s where we get the people arguing that ‘you should feel hypocritical for supporting Greta Thunberg because [Something Anti-Zionist she said]’.

Thanks, just fixed it.

Having the modlog actions being publicly visible doesn’t mean there isn’t or can’t be controversy. FYI there has been controversy with how both europe on Feddit and Feddit themselves have chosen to moderate and how they’ve responded to the situation. It’s well documented and compiled at !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com so I won’t go into detail here but suffice to say if you think there isn’t controversy and drama on Lemmy you’ve either been living under a rock or really don’t understand how social dynamics play out on social platforms.

Most accurate description of the Israeli Defense Occupation Force.

Thank you, I’ll definitely post there.

Yeah they blew their credibility in my book when they started using “antisemitism” laws to attack antifascists and activists. Seems more like Germany uses those laws to cover up their Nazi past and defend Israel (“the jews”) than to actually stop antisemitism. If they actually cared about stopping antisemitism they wouldn’t prop up Zionism and pro-Zionist ideology.

Alright I onboarded ya to the team. And yeah we do still need more mods, including someone to replace me as top mod.

Here’s mine, (right now anyway, doesn’t stay the same for long) 185.220.101.21, come show up to… some datacenter in Germany…

Also I’m not sure if dbzer0 saves those persistently or clears them out often. If they do clear them then it probably doesn’t matter much.

Maybe that explains some of why LW has so much controversy, like the Luigi thing, or the Jury thing. I can’t say their stance on Zionism but I’m not testing it. I’ve heard Hetzner has had their own controversies before too so probably not the best choice either.

Europe.pub is probably going to be a similar story to feddit.org, likely less so since their admin seems way more rational and less immature than feddit.org’s but they still are hosted in Germany which is a Zionist police state.

Hopefully. Though unless Feddit.org bans this community from their instance I don’t expect it to.

I did, he’s also banned from dbzer0 as a whole because I reported him to our admins. Maybe you should also report him to lemmy.world (doubt they’ll do anything though, unfortunately).
