We’re an internet forum, do not ever confuse that with “history”.
You want to organize locally? Great, nobody is stopping you. You want to arm yourself and stick it to the fascists? Go for it.
You want to do that in our communities? Go fuck yourself. Not allowed.
Your OPINION is that laws and prosecution are violence, that’s absolutely not the case and really only fringe elements legitimately believe that.
Laws and prosecution are the cornerstones of society, going back to Hamurabi.
You’re welcome to be an anarchist if you want, you’re WRONG, but you have the right to be wrong. 😉
People keep asking questions, I mean I could just ghost everyone, but again, seems rude.
I mean, everyone should read up on how “International Law” is an absolute failure.
If there’s no enforcement, there is no law. That’s how we got a 2nd fucking Trump term.
If you advocate for violence in our communities, your comment will be removed. Full stop. I don’t see how I can make it clearer. Do you need single syllable words?
Sure they do, but their self defense in the real world has absolutely nothing to do with our community rules.
They cannot advocate for killing Israelis in our group any more than Israelis can advocate for killing Palestinians. We DO NOT allow that shit.
We control what we can in thr groups we moderate, we don’t moderate the real world, that’s outside our responsibility.
I’m sure there’s TONS of stuff out there that gets missed. We all missed the anti-natalist community until the mod there decided to blow up a fertility clinic.
But what we don’t miss is the shit that gets reported. There are tools in place to make sure all the mods in a group are notified if reports start stacking up.
But the stuff we miss because either a) we don’t see it or b) it’s not reported, doesn’t mean we’re going to apologize for the shit we DO remove.
It doesn’t. But lemmy.world does, and the individual communities on it also do.
Ask the folks on lemm.ee how not belonging to anybody worked out. lemmy.one is following soon.
Each community has their own rules, same as each instance does.
Seems rude to not show up if someone bothers to namecheck you.
There’s no reason to be consistent when different communities have different rules.
People can come into News, Politics, or World and suck police cock all day every day if that’s what they want to do, it’s not removable there.
I mean, it’s Lemmy, they DON’T, but they could.
It IS removable in the Police Problem.
When I look at the list of current reported posts and comments, the first thing I look at is “Wait, which community again?” What’s removable in one isn’t necessarily removable in another.
In fact, the mods were just having a sidebar about gaming. A story from April got posted up and folks were wondering if it’s removable.
Nope, gaming doesn’t have a “last 30 days” requirement the way World and News have.
They may very well be, though given the devastation to their infrastructure, it seems increasingly unlikely.
And anyone is welcome to come and discuss all the various and voluminous crimes of the Israeli state, so long as they do not advocate for violence.
My old roomate’s brother was a doctor during one of the multiple illegal Israeli occupations of Southern Lebanon.
The IDF would show up at his house in the middle of the night, tell him if he resisted he would be shot, haul him off to god knows where to treat some prisoner, and then dump him at the side of the road like so much garbage.
Want to call to end that? Great! Prosecute that shit? Absolutely. Call for the deaths of everyone involved? That crosses the line and will get your shit removed.
So, first off, there’s no such thing as “International Law”. It’s a suggestion at best.
Second, our community policies are exactly that, OUR COMMUNITY POLICIES. It has fuck all to do with International relations.
Real people, in the real world, can and do do what they want. When they cross the border into our communities, they are bound by OUR rules.
As I told the other user in the thread with the removed comments - Don’t like the rules?
You, sir, need to separate real life from the online world.
Nobody is saying not to intervene in real life actions happening before you. But if you want to be the “Internet Tough Guy”, yes, that bullshit will get removed.
Just the usual bans. All commonplace for participants here.
I mean, as far as comics as a product, he did pretty much create the “Giant Crossover Event”^tm First with Contest of Champions, then Secret Wars.
No, because every country has the right to self defense, that is not a call to violence.
I was summoned here. If nobody atted me I likely never would have known about this thread.
No, it’s not OK to call for violence against ANYONE. Full stop. There is no list of “OK to threaten this person or group, but not these others.”
The only stuff that slides are the comments that never get reported. Mods are volunteers and we have lives, we aren’t reading every comment looking to fuck with threads.
We DO read every report and take actions based on them.
I don’t think she even knows what she wants. If she didn’t want it to pass, she had her chance to kill it.
Republican is going to Republican I guess…
LOL. The world exists outside polysci textbooks. You’ll find that out when you actually leave college.
