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

    But as I said, if most of the people that you meet in real life who share your views on this give you the heebee jeebees

    Truth to be told, the people who actually share my view are the ones who never talk about those views, like I also don’t in real life. The silent majority. We know how flammable these issue are.

    Why do I flap my mouth about it here then? Not sure, some combination of social media’s toxicity and the fact that Lemmy is absolutely filled with blatantly and exclusively pro-palestine stuff, making it hard to ignore. Also if you think somebody is wrong and you want to change their opinions, it makes more sense to talk about those opinions in the middle of the people who disagree with you instead of in your safe bubble where everybody already agrees.
