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

    The only instances this instance defederated from were hexbear and exploding heads, hexbear for just being toxic under every single thread. I would see under a post of the uyghur genocide “China incapable of avoiding human rights violations” and people saying “capitalist bootlicker, kys.” Just really unpleasant and a waste of everyone’s time and energy… I can probably find evidence if you want I just generally avoid toxic behavior so I just stopped reading it. Meanwhileongrad is a sneer comm, I blocked it a long time ago. It’s really cringe to spend your time looking for people to make fun of…

    Imo very bad faith to say this instance hates communists or socialists, most people here want to implement communist and socialist ideas and hate capitalism. But saying “china is extremely racist and commits human rights violations” and “Russia is trying to be a conquerer” = you hate communism and socialism.

    I want more communist policies. I want more socialist policies. I can think China and Russia are doing evil things while still hating capitalism.
