    Rimu went straight to defense of MrKaplan and attacking luminous for being anti-zionist, to the point of Kaplan defederating from anarchist.nexus.

    Kind of a words vs actions thing here. IMO, rimu is firmly in the wrong, but I also see no reason for MM to preventively ban, but not my comm so not my decision.

      To add clarification to that, there has been a wave of LW accounts promoting Zionism or just brigading my communities. With that has been a wave of bans (you can check the logs) both reactive and proactive. I know some people don’t like proactive bans, although, honestly it’s unreasonable to expect mods to let shit slide when they see a person they know will cause trouble.

      The fact people harass me here for this doesn’t really help the case against proactive bans. And I assume the reactions I’ll get from here will further reinforce this.

        Did my comment seem like an attack? I was just saying its not how I like to handle things, but your comm you get the choice.

          Not at all. I didn’t mean to sound defensive. I’m usually on high alert when I comment here since others have attacked me and the general sentiment on Lemmy is hostile against proactive moderation even when it is needed to keep communities afloat. I just wanted to be clear on why I do things because there are people who do expect mods to let things like this slide. It’s ultimately up to each mod how they run their communities, and it’s also situational. Some communities might not need proactive moderation at all.

            OK just checking, I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t coming across different than intended

            Everyone has a different threshold for a preemptive ban, to me it depends more on interaction. If there isnt any interaction, to me a ban just gets their attention, so I don’t bother. If there’s some (or interaction outside the community that makes it clear its about to be a problem), thats when I personally take action.

            Again though, everyone can have their own approach. If they dont like it, they can start their own comm - thats what makes the fediverse great.

      So what you’re saying is that the banning has absolutely nothing to do with anything in Blaze’s post and he’s just either intentionally or ignorantly misdirecting us.
