I was just banned for a comment that was critical of kamala Harris, critical of Hamas, pro Palestinian civilians who are suffering genocide from the Israeli government

“Rule 1” and I didn’t even use a slur or anything.

Quotes incoming, have to copy paste

    I get what you are asking and I am going to avoid the specific topic you were discussing (as much as I can) in the interest of objectivity.

    ml tends to be a safe-space for some people who have wildly different opinions than what “many people” tend to believe is true. It automatically sets up a comment that would be “normal” on this instance as “hostile” on another.

    Some countries do have diplomatic ties with Hamas and do not consider them a terrorist organization. If I had to guess, that is the reason for the underlying issue. If a person happens to relate with that viewpoint, any comment to the contrary may be considered hostile.

    This sounds trite, but the phrase “Read the room” might apply.

      Totally. The mod in particular is pretty aggressive so I’m not surprised really. I figured I covered myself by pointing out Israel is indeed commiting genocide but alas.

      Have a good one.
