I came to a post on this community where a user said that a certain community was zionist. But their comment was really long and I wasn’t sure if it had been removed for that or something else. So I wanted to test it myself.
I went to that community and posted something that’s only offensive to zionists. My post was pro-jewish and anti-zionist, so there was no way to confuse it as meaning something else. I wanted to see what would happen. Either it would get removed for zionist reasons, get removed for other reasons, or stay up. That would answer my question. It got removed because the mod said they felt rage baited. That answered my question. I linked the post and the modlog here as evidence, to share my findings. Now everyone knows for sure whether that community is zionist.
What I wasn’t expecting is Ada’s response. She said in the modlogs she also felt the post was rage bait. I didn’t see that coming because I didn’t think Ada was a zionist. I thought she would be fine with seeing zionists get angry, because they get angry over the most mild things.
Is Ada supporting zionism?
You’re a Blahaj user, she has a responsibility to moderate your posts and comments according to the instance rules no matter where you post. Hence why any reports on your comments go to your instance admin, as well as the community moderators and the instance admins of the community.
This is how things run on the fediverse to more equally share the load of moderation around. Instances that refuse to do this labour for their own users end up shunned, such as Hexbear refusing to rein in the actions of its own users.
I didn’t post anything that needed to be removed. Anti-zionism doesn’t need to be removed.
Nah sorry, I’m leaning heavily towards you being a troll now :(
That’s okay, I’m leaning towards you being a bad girl. Mummy says I don’t have to listen to bad girls who say protesting genocide is trolling.
That’s kind of rude of you to call me a bad girl, I haven’t acted in bad faith. I also probably go out and actually protest genocide on the streets more than you do for what that’s worth ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Well it’s because you broke the rules, and they’re good rules. I don’t like being called a troll and you called me a troll. I felt insulted. You’re doing it again now, saying you’re better than me because you don’t like me.
You’re the one that broke the rules though?
I do actually like you, we’ve had some good interactions, but then you called Ada a zionist?? If you’re this opposed to her trying to keep the peace between instances by preventing rage bait, no matter the topic, maybe a different instance would be better for you? Like I’ve said, I’m very anti-zionist but I agree with her moderation here.
Wasn’t rage bait and didn’t break the rules. The europe community doesn’t have a rule against anti-zionism. Blahaj doesn’t have a rule against checking if remote mods abuse their power. Didn’t break the peace, the conflict was over in minutes and Ada never had any work to do about it.
And besides,
There is no peace while they’re killing children. I didn’t disturb the peace. I disturbed the war. For a few seconds. If everyone disturbed the war for a few seconds, there wouldn’t be a war. They wouldn’t get away with it.
I don’t understand why it makes you angry when I say these things. When I say it’s fine and Ada didn’t have to do anything. I see your anger and it’s the protective kind. Good girls get angry to protect others. But who are you protecting from me saying that Ada is safe? Nothing bad happened to her and nothing bad was going to happen. Why is that scary?
You literally questioned if Ada is supporting zionism in the OP :(
I support your ideals, but if you want to disturb the war you should get out to protests in your community if you’re able too.
