A user posted the question What opened your eyes to what’s happening in Palestine? on [email protected].

As is evidenced, multiple comments have been removed by mods. The Mod log shows the moderator removing multiple of these comments due to “rule 1”, which on lemmy.ml is:

No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.

The mods then also banned some of the commenting users for a few days.

This all lead to a post by one of the affected users to AskLemmy, accusing the mods of “removing all comments critical of Hamas”. “No comments critical of Israel were removed”, the user alleges. The post has since been removed by the lemmy.ml mods as well and the user banned for 14 days.

    It would be more concerning to have this on Lemmy.world

    Na, they are more of the “make false accusations about you and ban you” type. And if they have to do damage control, they’ll just squirm and decide who they have to do the bare minimum to back off from so that they can shirk off all responsibility. But yeah, their abuse is not political, just some seriously toxic personality flaws where they do liberally libel with bullshit contradictory claims.
