The moderation of Lemmy is equal parts inconsistent and arbitrary. That said, it’s all unpaid volunteer work so you gotta cut em a little slack.
Can you please provide urls to posts saying hamas are good guys?
Mods will be mods… Doesn’t matter the platform. Gotta gate keep those opinions.
Whoever says Hamas and the IDF are the good guys must love the mass killing of civilians happening right now.
Just yesterday a comment where I said Hamas and the Israeli government are equally shitty got removed from a WorldNews community. Sure, Israel is killing way more civilians right now and that is an absolute atrocity that must stop right now. But if that makes you turn around and pretend Hamas isn’t a bunch of murderous cunts, then you got your head screwed on wrong. Israel is ahead in numbers because Hamas lacks the opportunity to get even.
The current minister for national security is a straight-up blood and soil fascist, both him and Netanyahu are implicated in calls to assassinate Yitzhak Rabin. Netanyahu himself is in quite some legal trouble over corruption, not to mention that he should be in trouble over, at the very least, overseeing systematic war crimes (settlement in occupied territories). Plenty of Israelis, especially family of Hamas victims/hostages (largely lefties btw) right-out blame him for allowing the attacks to happen – Israel had the intel, yet the IDF was withdrawn from the Gaza border to back up settlers harassing Palestinians in the west bank. There’s no chance in hell they’re going to survive the next elections.
It may be a bit of an edgelord take but as long as there’s Kahanites in Israel’s government calling them a bunch of murderous cunts really isn’t off-base: Kahanites definitely are that and the rest are tolerating it and therefore at least complicit.
What is the connection between saying Hamas are right at defending their country and this gender identity study shit, you’re clearly missing something.
Saying Hamas are the good guys is an opinion, albeit a shitty one.
Saying gender studies aren’t studies is just factually wrong.
Pretty easy to see why one would be treated differently from the other even if most people won’t agree with the first
Even if they’re both wrong, aren’t they also both opinions? People can have (an express) opinions that are factually wrong. I think the community should just downvote those kinds of posts instead of them being removed by mods.
An opinion that is just a factually wrong idea isn’t an opinion, it’s just a false belief that something is true
Actual untruths should be removed by mods, they only serve to trick the uninformed into believing false shit. Down votes mean very little, many times someone who’s 100% factually right gets down voted because the community just doesn’t like what was said
Yeah but I’d rather not have the mods remove anything - it’s the ol’ “how do we fact check the fact checkers” conundrum.
One instance of an object or subject, can be viewed completely differently relative to your position in space and time. The observations of how something is functioning can be completely different from one observer to another, yet they can both be correct at the same time.
So how exactly do you tell the truths from the untruths without proving intentional manipulation in the first place?
As it should be.
Fight hamas, fight gender, so fund gender studies.
With all the bad transphobic takes I’ve seen on this platform in the past couple of days, I think there’s a real need for gender studies
I noticed this too, did we get raided by terfs or something?
My opinion is the legal opinion
I haven’t looked at the lgbt spaces on Lemmy. Are they as bad as Reddit was?
Where people don’t understand what a definition is and say everyone is whatever they feel like that particular Tuesday?
I left so many spaces when they got taken over by people who just wanted to collect labels without understanding what they meant, and instead just morphing labels to mean whatever they wanted.
wouldn’t that fall under human studies? imo this is more a problem of splitting classes into more categories so you gotta pay more time/money for the same amount
