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

    Let me get this straight. Do you want a news community where nobody can criticise the DNC for the terrible policy decisions that lost them the last election, and which they seem determined to carry through into the next election? I mean, have any Democrats have even admitted Israel is committing genocide in Gaza yet? The official party line continues to be full throated support for Zionism from both sides of the aisle.

    If you’re planning to go down that road you should just call it DNC/Hasbara approved news or something, so folks know what they are getting.

    There’s a reason leftists don’t bang on about Trump all the time. It’s because he’s a lost cause. He’s a literal fascist. Nobody on Lemmy needs convincing Trump is the worst US President in history. Imo convincing Dems they should lurch left instead of right (for once) could help win them the next election. But they just don’t want to listen, don’t want to change, and seem intent on ontracising the left instead of taking on board perfectly legitimate criticisms of the party’s leadership and policies.

      I was not clear, the thing that would not be allowed in this screenshot would be the person defending Harris. The first comment i removed was someone defending Harris in relation to the genocide. I allow opinions, i don’t allow people defending objective terrible things like arming israel and support the genocide and settler colonialiam
