So you do denounce the IDF for using human shields? It’s unclear when you seem to only focus on the portion of the blame that lies with Hamas

It is not unclear. It requires a basic understanding of words which you seem to finally have figured out.

Jeopardizing civilian lives, either by placing booby-traps or using them as shields are both warcrimes.

My stance has always been that all the violence is BS. I just hate that lemmy.world blatantly gives Hamas a pass.

Say “I denounce the IDF for using human shields”

Because unless it is stated explicitly it wasn’t actually meant? So you understand how the ban was wrong then as I didn’t explicitly say “the IDF are right to use palestinian shields” right? Thank you for agreeing with me.

He’s not going to do that, because he does not actually believe that. He’s talking about people “giving Hamas a pass” to cover up his real views on the matter, which is that he is aligned with Israel despite the fact they are committing a genocide.

A metaphor.

You in this thread:

both sides are committing war crimes but in only complaining about one, how don’t you get that I’m mad at both of them!

You in that thread:

Yeah guys! I’m just saying ALL LIVES MATTER so why are all these BLM people mad?

I’m just saying why are black people getting a pass?

You, unironically.

It’s a poor metaphor because the genocide being committed intentionally is worse

It is not unclear. It requires a basic understanding of words which you seem to finally have figured out.

If it only required a “basic” understanding why would so many people have been making the same point to you?

If a headline says “x group did a crime” and someone responds “y group are criminals” it is not at all obvious what this person’s stance on x group is. If anything this reads like a deflection onto y group, so someone might infer that the responder supports x group or at least is more concerned about y group.

If the person says “yes, x group did do a crime but let’s not forget y group are criminals too” then it is super clear what this person means. If you omit a response to the actual topic at hand you have no place getting mad when people assume you don’t care about that.

Create post

This is a community in the spirit of “Am I The Asshole” where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

Rules

  • Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
  • Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
  • Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
  • Don’t use private communications to prove your point. We can’t verify them and they can be faked easily.
  • Don’t deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
  • Don’t harass mods or brigade comms. Don’t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
  • Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.

Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance’s code of conduct. In other words we won’t allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.


Some acronyms you might see.

  • PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
  • YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
  • BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
  • CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn’t understand how their software works.
