    I don’t reply here often because when people make posts like this, especially on other people’s behalf I usually get harassed and insulted (this one’s no different, considering the transphobia in the comments). But I do have to clarify because it’s important.

    Rimu has recently been defending the actions of MrKaplan, who has been using his power as a LW admin to promote Zionism, and by defending that they are indirectly apologizing for Zionism. It doesn’t matter if they supported Palestine before or if they still do now. They’re currently apologizing for and defending a Zionist. Which is why they were banned. They are not the first person banned for that either, a lot of LW accounts have been banned for Zionist apologia and many more will likely follow.

    It would be kind of like if someone who’s a trans ally started defending someone who was insulting trans people for getting gender affirming care. It doesn’t matter how much they supported trans people in the past or claim to support them now. They are defending and promoting a transphobe.

      So you’re banning people for defending an action of someone you don’t like? Doesn’t matter what the action is, just who made it? And that’s ban worthy, regardless of if the action is entirely justified or not?

      I gotta say it’s extremely telling how that coinciding with this series of events a handful of brand new accounts popped up just to spew transphobia and nazi shit in addition to the ones just being zionist/defending the LW mods across the various threads.

      wonder what’s up with that makima-think

      anyway the abuse and harassment you get is gross, fuck those assholes

        MM and draconic have this sort of “fan club”. For some reason, they have pissed off the same kind of chud who keeps making new accounts for this shite.

        Hmm, maybe I should implement a way to only allow trusted instances to comment on some communities. This way it can prevent people abusing instances with lax registration to make these accounts just to post toxic shite. Lemmy 1.0 can’t come fast enough so I can finally make plugins
