Over the past few days, @MrKaplan@lemmy.world/@MrKaplan@piefed.world has banned multiple users, blocked entire comms, and now defederated from Anarchist.Nexus over their anti-Zionist stance.

This extreme overreaction and general power trippin’ bastard behavior stems from Lemmy.world’s history of pro-Zionist views. And now MrKaplan is seeking out the flimsiest pretext to to enact his own personal vendetta.

Free Palestine, Death to Israel, Death to Zionism.

Lemmy.world is a ZioNazi instance. Avoid it like the plague.

      Or him ignoring Jordanlund complaints that involved him censoring pro Palestinian news or stories about Israel.

        Let’s not forget the roles lund and squid played in turning wirld news and political memes into their personal safe spaces and echo chambers.

            Squid operated as both super poster, super commentor, super mod, and super confused around Zionism and Israel because they took everything critical of Israel as an antisemitism. They modded many of the major communities and created some of the strongest echo chambers which are still in place (world news and politicalmemes are some of the worst) where a very strict but unspoken orthodoxy is maintained.

            Really I just highlight them as yet another power tripping mod., and that as an issue, mod power and the ability to implement a form of censorship, even if implicit, through moderation, is substantial. World news and politicalmemes are basically broken subs because of moderation abuse, and squid was a primary contributed of the abuse.

            Lund on the other hand, for all the shit they get, I actually think is very fair in their application of the rules. The only issue I have is that the rules they insist on are outdated and stupid. Not being able to post video content or sites like dropsite or zeteo; it’s buffoonish. They treat news media as if it’s 2004 and nothing has changed in media since then. I agree with their arguments about reliability and editorial boards, but litterally, so many independent media have editorial boards and standards (they issue retractions et…). And not allowing video content? I mean come on grandpa…
