I was just perusing the modlog when I noticed something interesting. Apparently posting news about Gaza/Palestine is not allowed on !worldnews@sh.itjust.works. I decided to check the side bar and didn’t see anything. The only pinned post also does not indicate that this is not allowed
That’s actually the fault of the modlog. It should not be showing a display name instead of their username.
IMO it’s primarily a fault of Lemmy for even allowing users to do that, and secondarily of users for using it in a way that makes it unobvious (e.g. funny fonts, pronouns, etc. are “obvious” changes that are unlikely to trip people up like this).
