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

    I’m not arguing for colonialism, I’m arguing for socialism, and the stat I gave was in the context of other points. Secondly, you gave no source on Nigerians wishing to return to colonialism, you made that up for your Mad Libs argument. You’re caught up in trying to point out hypocricy and false rhetoric that doesn’t exist.

      I don’t need a source. Go to any African country and ask them whether they wish to return to colonialism.

      I’m telling you using nostalgia as evidence to return to a system is faulty due to those that revere harmful systems as well. Hence my citing of Nigerians who revere colonialism.

      Don’t know why it’s this difficult for you to grasp this point
