Europe community on dbzer0. Intended to be a place to discuss European news,
politics, or just general topics from a European perspective. Since this is on
dbzer0 expect the community to lean more leftist-anarchist but a wide range of
views are accepted here (within reason). Rules: ::: spoiler 1. No Bigotry Any
forms of Homophobia, Transphobia, Queerphobia, Racism, or Ableism will be met
with swift and harsh action and will not be tolerated here whatsoever. Bigots
will be banned immediately on-sight. This includes apologia of it. ::: :::
spoiler 2. No Zionism Any forms of Zionism or Zionist rhetoric will not be
tolerated here, this includes Zionist apologia, accusations of antisemitism
towards anti-Zionists, or blatant denial or downplaying of the genocide towards
Palestinians. Any attempt to uphold or prop up the IHRA definition of
antisemitism, will be treated as Zionism. Anyone engaging in Pro-Zionist
sentiment or apologia will be actioned in accordance with its severity. ::: :::
spoiler 3. Stay Civil Please maintain civil discourse in the community. Do not
engage in arguments with others, name-calling, or insults. Note that calling out
bigotry or Zionism is not considered an insult. In heated arguments users are
encouraged to or even required to disengage
[https://wiki.dbzer0.com/divisions-by-zero/the-disengage-rule/] failure to do so
will result in mod action. ::: ::: spoiler 4. No Misinformation Spreading of
misinformation intentionally in this community is unacceptable and will not be
tolerated. Spreading misinformation hurts the credibility of the community and
can mislead people sometimes in dangerous ways. Users who intentionally post
misinformation as articles, comment answers, or in attempt to win arguments will
be actioned swiftly. ::: ::: spoiler 5. No AI Content Please do not post
articles or content primarily created using generative AI. Generative AI content
may contain misinformation or be lower quality and thus is discouraged. Posts
and comments featuring it will be removed. However this community does not allow
or tolerate Anti-AI trolling or hostility and users who engage in such behavior
will be actioned for it, additionally Anti-AI trolling violates Rule 3 and often
Rule 4 so it is generally unacceptable already. :::
I recently created a Europe community on lemmy.dbzer0.com to act as an alternative to the Europe community on Feddit.org since that one has had some controversy and is becoming less viable for discussing current events in Europe, especially relating to Israel.
The new community allows much of the same content as on the old one but also allows news and discussions related to the conflict in Israel and disallows genocide apologia (can’t believe I have to advertise this as a feature).
If that sounds like something you’re interested in I urge you to check out [email protected]
That particular user who was banned for sockpuppeting has made literal hundreds of accounts, they were originally known as Antiyanks. They’ve been making new accounts constantly since 7 months ago so they can avoid being banned for treating people like garbage and accusing them of supporting genocide without any sort of merit to it.
The comments weren’t removed for what they said, they were removed because the user is a serial ban evader who makes accounts just to harass people and it’s clear by now that they have no intent of participating in good faith. They just want to yell at people.
If that’s the case, then the evidence connecting those accounts to “Antiyanks” is what the admin should’ve cited, not a bunch of examples of comments that were – considered on their face without context – mostly actually pretty reasonable positions to take.
As it stands now, I have little reason to believe that I could post “just create a secular state that respects people’s right” on that instance without risking a ban.
