Too many posts are removed if they’re critical of Israel. I hope this post survives for discussion.

Yes, I’ve had several posts that humanize Palestinians removed near the start of the conflict on Lemmy.World, though things have improved there. I’ve never seen censorship of Gaza reporting here at BeeHaw; I have a lot of admiration for @alyaza@beehaw.org who has beaten me to the post several times.

According to the modlog, posts that are not negative towards Israel have been removed. There is definitely censorship here.

you literally just had a protracted argument with me, an admin who determines what gets removed or not, in another thread over Israel and that was not removed. you have another pro-Israel set of comments in this thread that have not been removed even though i personally think they’re even less defensible than what you were arguing with me. i don’t know how you can seriously attempt to make this point.

Lemmy.world hasn’t improved as far as I can tell. Or maybe their bias was even worse before I noticed.

In any event, their entire instance is now blocked from my feeds, so I won’t have to deal with them.
