mrdown comments on If you are an antizionist, Lemmy World mods allow other to call you a pedophile

deeply concerning while at the same time not being damning evidence of the admins being zionists.

I spend enough time here on Palestine discussions to know that no matter how much Israeli apologia is posted, it never gets removed, while rightfully pro-Russia propaganda does; so there is a pattern rather than just a few individual cases. I expect moderators, most of the time, to apply rules equitably.

I think there is a difference between being a zionist and allowing zionism propaganda to spread

I admit it is not a clear but you are defending lemmy.world who allow zionist propaganda to spread

That ban reason seems very unfair based on your comment history.

I agree with you (and I think so would db0), that Mr Kaplan does not seem to be a zionist, and was undeserving of the "zionazi" label. When folks equate what lemmy world mods/admins do with what actual zionists do (all the murdering and genocide), they are making a totally false equivalence. All that the lemmy world admins are "guilty" of being imo are centrist liberals. And that is not sufficient grounds to call them nazis or zionists, at least in the majority of cases.

In fact, since we brought in the no-zionism rule, we've only had to ban a handful of people for zionism. The fact is that most lemmy users are very anti-zionist, even on lemmy.world.

But there is certainly a pattern of moderation with certain LW mods where they will treat those who oppose genocide as somehow worse than those who commit it, simply because they use "extremist" rhetoric. And as though calling for vile killers to be killed makes everyone equally bad.
