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

        Honestly wonder if mwog was made specifically because of a slight they received on a grad comm or simply because they love attention

          The latter, goat’s a cryptofascist.

          Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

          -Jean-Paul Sartre

            I’m not a cryptofascist.

            If anyone’s a cryptofascist, it’s you, defending Russia and supporting Putin’s goals of reimplementing the USSR through imperialism and the war against Ukraine. You’re even doing so in this very thread.

          MoG was created to highlight hate speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse.

          Extremism should always be called out wherever it may be
