This makes no sense to me. There's people in the comments literally telling me to go kill myself and that's fine but, me politely disagreeing is worthy of a 30 day ban.

If it makes you feel better. I also reserve judgement until more information is out. The counter arguments as to why it wouldn't be Israel does make sense to me. Lack of crater. Hospital walls intact. Hamas were firing rockets over the hospital. And the death figure is reported by Hamas. Most likely incredibly inflated.

Since when was recognized terror organisations reliable sources?

If you scroll through the community bans of World News@lemmy.ml, you'll see there's a mod going crazy handing out months long bans for having the wrong opinion on the current conflict. Mods aren't beholden to anyone but themselves, so if that's how they want to mod then that's how it's going to be. Thankfully, Lemmy has hundreds of communities discussing the conflict so you might find better mods in one of those communities.

Join an instance you believe in. If it happens to enough people they will move on.

I'm really sorry for what happened to you. And I'm really disappointed because lemmy allows fascist instances and fascist friendly instances to stay, like lemmy.ml, the bears, the grads, and others. Why can't they just leave like exploding-heads did? Why right fascism is bad and left fascism is good, when fascism is fascism after all?

socialists are fascists. war is peace. freedom is slavery. ignorance is strength.

Lemmy isn't a place for debates and arguments. If you don't follow the direction of the topic, don't bother inserting yourself into the conversation.
You need to be nice and supportive of whatever is posted, else you're going to have a bad time.

Read their code of conduct and you'll find that it's a moderator's discretion to ban anyone they believe is disruptive, regardless of the rules.
So unless a moderator goes on a deranged banning binge, you're automatically in the wrong.
If you can't accept that, i suggest you make your own instance, with blackjack and hookers.

I don't see how making my own instance solves anything. I'm not posting from lemmy.ml account to begin with.

[–] Virkkunen@kbin.social -1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It helps if you want to go on your own banning spree for people not having the same opinion as you!

[–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah but then they're banned and wrong

[–] Lath@kbin.social -2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

From their point of view, only you think there's something to be solved.
A major point of federization is not having to deal with the undesirable rabble. To have your own little slice of the internet where everybody gets along.

You don't get along, so you don't belong. Instead, you are very welcome to find or make an instance where you do belong and can engage in conversations freely.

Lemmy's solution is to make the problem go away, which is why in its eyes, there is nothing to solve.

I think the idea that this is a negative but to me it is not. If a domain or magazine is run poorly then folks then I don't want to go to it. I just want the individual ability to block at all levels working well and would love it both ways. I learned my lesson from mmo's. A completely horrible cesspit of a chat can become pretty decent with just a dozen or so blocks. People who block everyone on a whim. Well thats great as I doubt their discourse is going to be beneficial. folks that don't ban even though someones pushing the line will be rewareded with a richer experience.
