Edit: There used to be a screenshot here. I messed up the link in an edit and don’t have a local copy saved.

My comment was roughly 'It already looks like it might be better than things now, at least Biden never advocated for full displacement of all Palestine."

I had already seen half the comment section of the post with ban marks. This single comment copped me a fully-expected permaban. Unfortunately my comment doesn’t show up in modlogs so I had to retype it more or less from memory.

The bloodshed:

Screenshot edited as per mod request.

Most of the banned comments are actually still visible. If you browse the thread you’ll notice there’s nothing particularly inflammatory or banworthy about any of them.

Best part, in the middle of all that banning, our buddy found the time to mod the one guy in that post who supported his opinions. Welp, another echo chamber in the making.

Follow up:

The mod posted in a similar post in this comm. FWIW, while I stand by my actions and opinion, I did msg them to offer them a personal apology.

    The Trump admin already vetoed several UN security council votes for a ceasefire while approx. 70,000 were murdered by Israeli forces? Damn that was fast! Oh, that was Biden. You mean that you hope that they get killed under Trump so you can say “told you so.”

      The point of this comm is to discuss whether mod actions were or were not deserved, not to discuss different political opinions. Regardless of your opinions, there’s nothing worth banning a dozen people over in that comment section.

        Sir, this is not a Wendy’s. Also, your post title palestine@lemm.ee - The new r/conservative indicates you have different motives.

          r/conservative is infamous for being an echo chamber and banning anybody who vaguely disagreed with their viewpoint. Hence the comparison. Because this certainly looks to be similar to how r/conservative was being modded.

            Same story with r/politics, or c/politics for that matter. I didn’t realize they were conservative.

              I blocked those ages ago too. I’m honestly not sure what you’re trying to get at. Are you just looking for a gotcha? Not a single one of your comments has been on topic so far.
