Formatting in the modlogs is weird since the spacing is messed up, but the original comment looked like this:
Netanyahu:
Delays ending the genocide for as long as he can
Deny that genocide is happening
Next comes Depose
Great, what next?
“Kill Hitler” also gets removed? 🤣
Also: Depose =/= Kill
Moderators are gardeners and each community is an allotment. Some gardeners want wonderful flowers, some want heart veggies, some even want extra spicy peppers.
If a moderator makes it clear what the rules are for the garden, and they follow their own published rules… Then they are being a good gardener. If you buy a ticket for the tropical arboretum and when you get inside you see they haven’t been weeding, then you would be rightly upset.
Lemmy is wonderful because so many voices can be heard in many places on different topics. Everyone here saying ‘yes it was against the rules, but that shouldn’t matter in this case’ is being unfair to the moderator who is behaving reasonably.
There is no shortage of communities here where people can be as spicy as they want to be.
I love reading your comments here. So many people lately keep trying to tell others what to do, with so few reflecting the spirit that “I may not agree with you (or whatever, regardless), but I’ll defend to the death your right to do it.” Ironically the mob mentality reminds me of the simplicity of fascist thinking. Person 1: “Spin up an instance, create a community, or just use different words and you can do whatever you want!” Person 2: “No, you will do as I say, and like it.”
