Title says it all. In combination with the recent post about somebody getting banned from the same comm, there’s a trend starting to emerge.
Edit: Sad but unsurprising that this immediately got downvoted by a German user
Edit 2: Looks like this was just one of many such posts that got locked without any reason given. Notice a pattern in the topics locked?
When I look at their sidebar and unless there is some additional missing context on ban evasions or or the news sources of the topics against the rules (e.g. Al Jazeera on Israel) none of these things are against the rules.
The one I see that is in the same topic area is “we follow german law; do not question the statehood of Israel”. I added my own emphasism.
My interpretation is you cannot advocate for the eradication or dismantling of the state. But then this is over moderation on any topic on Israel from any source to probably prevent any discussion and then no moderation of the comments are needed. I wonder if my being an anarchist is a ban-able offense!
This smacks of PTB.
Oddly, feddit.org is not located in Germany. It’s hosted in Austria.
