I've had lemmy.world blocked since 2024. Fuck those Blue MAGA twats.

    It's real stupid that PD's admin bot keeps trying to remove my posts. They have no authority to do this in communities that aren't local so the removal never federates. It just makes them look stupid.

    the bots still a work in progress, the removal for now still removes it for local users before an admin can look at the content for communities it can't be fully removed from (false alarms then get unremoved though)

    LW and sh.itjust.works is shadow banning Lemmy.org, and several other instances.

    Does this happen to every post or only to those with Western "naughty words"?

    This is fully a guess, not familiar with the codebase at all, but I assume it’s because the account is new rather than running image transcription and filtering given how expensive (in compute) that’d be

    The leadership doesn’t like being pulled into the limelight.

    I'm confused, is this all the context? One user appears to have been directly insulting an admin to their face, the other user was openly advocating for murdering a group they explicitly put the lemmy.world admins into. I'm not sure how that's unreasonable cause for a ban, nor am I clear on how an admin banning two users over three days is evidence of them "raging", promoting zionism or banning pushback.

    Are the .world admins zionists? I see the accusations all the time, but the instance is also overwhelmingly pro-palestine... I'm very curious if there's more context that I'm just unfamiliar with.

    The FHF own lemmy.world and piefed.world. One user called the FHF names (shitlib, zionazi) in a community on a non-LW instance and then was banned from all of LW for doing so. This user is a dbzer0 admin.

    Another user had the 'murder zionists' nickname and was an AN admin. This AN admin banned a single LW admin for zionism, and the LW admins were so mad that they defederated from AN without talking, made censures against the AN instance, and encouraged other instances to also defederate AN by claiming the act of a single ban of an LW admin was equal to a death threat. All without talking. Said user stepped down as admin from AN and things are very tense since LW thinks their behavior is acceptable. The LW admins could have banned the previous AN admin (or talked about it), but they defederated the AN instance instead, an instance with multiple admins and many users.

    Are the .world admins zionists?

    They are against genocide (so they say). It's not uncommon to cause a stir on LW by expressing a want for the state of Israel and their IDF to dissolve.

    Edit: more info

    This is the reason why we should be pushing back harder against users joining the largest instance, whatever that is. They have more of the users, so they have more control. The admins think this makes them more important and they abuse this power. It's the same issue Reddit has, and is supposed to be solved with federation. Users need to be spread out so no single instance has more power.

    .World admins are Zionists, if you can't see that yet you might still be too liberal.

    Um, okay - but in what way are they zionists? "Trust me bro" isn't really an explanation, and I've been here for a couple years and have not seen any overt zionist behavior. Could you elaborate?

    Why don’t you go search YPTB, they’ve been called into the spotlight countless times over the years.

    Just the defending of the racist JordanLund alone is telling enough of their views imo, but there’s so much more.

    Dunno. I take a pretty measured approach, but I've been more often banned from places on Lemmy for saying anything inferring that Hamas is also bad.

    "Being a decent human being" <> "advocate murder" - weird eh?

    it's been explained to me that "murder" was the wrong word to use, as it implies the killing is unjustified. a better word would have been "execute", as this doesn't portray the perpetrators and supporters of genocide as victims.
