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

      Goat from ShitJustWorks, someone who is “highly interested in extremism” to use their own words. MeanwhileOnGrad is their main claim to fame here, which is an attempt to document the things Tankies talk about.

      It has been a host to users using Nazi dog whistles. Goat was on Voat, the Nazi clone of reddit made when Reddit banned some alt-rignt community, and got banned from it twice.

      Also tried to force guro (gore art for sexual stimulation/pleasure) onto some communities.

            You: trolling attempt

            Meanwhile the person I asked for evidence of their claim: crickets

        There have been no nazi dog whistles. But there has been antisemitism, one of which comes from a user active in this community.

        In this screenshot the user deleted their account of one-to-two years after I questioned why their response to antisemitism and holocaust denialism from Hamas was to shout zionist.

        I moderate !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works very strictly when it comes to dogwhistles and hate speech.

            He was banned for a week, with the condition he does not use that term

            Now, a personal request, can you stop calling me a nazi? And my community nazis? It’s extremely hurtful. I have spent years challenging extremists of all kinds, from nazis to tankies to QAnons to religious fundamentalists. I have been banned from many far-right sites and communities for speaking against them. I helped shut down Ruqqus and /r/uncensorednews, which were crawling with neo-nazis. To then be called a nazi myself is deeply hurtful and untrue

          How do you shamelessly lie about the meaning of zio. Anti zionism is not antisemitism no matter how much you try to say the opposite

            Did you not read the screenshot?

            The user was insisting on using specifically “zio” – I offered them a chance that they didn’t know about “zio”, gave them a chance to use zionist or any other phrase, but they insisted on using the term coined by David Duke, leader of the KKK.

              Zio is simply an abbreviation of Zionist . Just because kkk used the same term wrongly doesn’t mean that people saying zio support the KKK. Even the term antisemite was corned by someone who hated jews and conservatives hijacked the term woke so should we also stop using them. What a ridiculous claim you are saying

                  Anti-Semite was coined by Wilhelm Marr a jew hater. Nobody in his right mind would think you should not use it to refer to jew haters . Same goes with zio people use zio as an abbreviation of zionist

                    Your ‘whatabout’ argument does not suddenly neutralize any or all dog whistles and make them OK to use.

      I moderate !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works, the largest anti-tankie community across all of Lemmy.

      This makes Tankies very upset, and they often lie about posts, such as this one, saying that I was the one removing these things.

      There have been no nazi dog whistles; that’s a lie. I moderate the community very strictly. There was also no guro art posted, no idea where that claim came from.

        You should be consistent and oppose Zionism which is the ideology behind the occupation of Palestine. I oppose both Russia and Israel because they are the colonial powers

            We literally has a discussion about Zionism where I quoted Herzl writings that show that he supported displacing people to be able to create the state and you shamelessly say that he had no influence while Israel declaration of independence mentioned him as the spiritual father of the Jewish State and allowed other zinoists to spread their propaganda in your community

              I was quoting you when you said the Grand Mufti, Amin al-Husseini, meeting with Adolf Hitler had little influence and is insignificant

                I explained to you why the Mufti has limited influence. I never said he has no influence at all. I told you that most arabs sided with the allies despite the mufti trying to make them supporting nazis. So he couldn’t have all the influence you and the big fraud Netanyahu.

          This is antiyanks, a troll who follows me around all the time. Antiyanks regularly harasses random people for random reasons, he’s unfortunately mentally ill. He’s made a few hundred accounts and all admins and moderators have had their own stories of him. The dead children refers to the posts he’s made where he DMs me pictures of dead children.

          The gore community was going to be something like medical gore, an educational community about surgery and how healthcare workers handle trauma
