A user posted the question What opened your eyes to what's happening in Palestine? on [email protected].

As is evidenced, multiple comments have been removed by mods. The Mod log shows the moderator removing multiple of these comments due to "rule 1", which on lemmy.ml is:

No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.

The mods then also banned some of the commenting users for a few days.

This all lead to a post by one of the affected users to AskLemmy, accusing the mods of "removing all comments critical of Hamas". "No comments critical of Israel were removed", the user alleges. The post has since been removed by the lemmy.ml mods as well and the user banned for 14 days.

Blahaj's admin has refederated with Hexbear, using most Blahaj users unhappy and baffled. No communication from the admins regarding the change, though one user speculated it was a halloween trick. Multiple pings to the admin Ada have gone unanswered, even though Ada is clearly still active on Lemmy.

The comments section is ultimate drama. 😹😹

It was added to the excluded instances because it allegedly contains CSAM

FIY, my account was banned on lemmy.world for sharing the info on one ofLemmy developer, SleeplessOne1917. The post was also removed from lemmy.ml.

I made this throwaway account yesterday because there was always the possibility of getting my main account banned.

It's important for everyone to know the comments of the dev (donors to the project the most) because "TBF the future lemmy developer isn’t too far off. I’ve been discussing being added to the NLNet grant along with another person, phiresky, with Dessalines and Nutomic.".

I've archived the post here: https://web.archive.org/web/20231010071241/https://lemmy.ca/post/6892121

In the recent Lemmy developer update, there's a reference to one Lemmy developer, SleeplessOne1917.

I found some horrifying comments from this user.

https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649200 - "There is no such thing as an Israeli civilian. All settlers are valid targets."

https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649472 - "15 year olds are military age. That makes them valid targets for killing."

https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/2649732 - "... There is no such thing as a zionoid civilian. Everything that moves and isn’t Palestinian is a valid target. ..."

Are there any lists of high profile Mastodon (ActivityPub) accounts? (Or, have they all been chased away?)

@fediverselore

Good job LW chadmins for doing something Reddit badmins failed at; taking care of these evil stochastic terrorists that harasses innocent people.

This is my best summary of this situation, as I understood it as someone from the outside looking in.

However mastodon.art is firing back that this is all due to low-key bigotry by the admin of artisan.chat inside secret discord channels, which has been going on for a while. Blogposts linked with accusations against each other.

A few days ago, Beehaw posted an announcement in their Chat community about the challenges of content moderation and the possibility of leaving Lemmy. That post was eventually locked.

Then, about two days ago, Beehaw posted an announcement in their support community that they aren't confident about the long-term use of Lemmy, due to so-called concerns about Lemmy.

RedditAlternatives discussion

If you currently use Beehaw and want to stay on the federated Lemmy network, consider migrating your account to another instance like lemm.ee.

When trying to open the site it reads the message: “Hey, I apologize but for the time being this instance must go down. I cannot deal with two instances at once during the ongoing issues with lemmy and people spamming illegal content into the federation. I don't know when or if this instance will be back, but I will try my best to bring it back up when I can. For continued info, please go to literature.cafe, I love and appreciate you <3”
