The D QuuuuuillApparent unwritten rule of "No posts about Palestine" on [email protected]
mrdownThat a scummy move from the mod. I made a new community where both siding occupation and genocide comments get removed
[email protected]
Which two? There’s three mods on [email protected]
Also I’d recommend the following comms as being pretty good:
I don’t fully promise they’re good as I don’t usually track this stuff super closely
/edit/: added the quokk.au community since people here seem to like it

This type of comment is why I decided to create a new community for news. Instead of criticizing Trump, some people still cry about democrats losing the election. Those type of comments would directly be removed from my community and after 3 deleted comments it’s a ban
Unruffled [they/them]Let me get this straight. Do you want a news community where nobody can criticise the DNC for the terrible policy decisions that lost them the last election, and which they seem determined to carry through into the next election? I mean, have any Democrats have even admitted Israel is committing genocide in Gaza yet? The official party line continues to be full throated support for Zionism from both sides of the aisle.
If you’re planning to go down that road you should just call it DNC/Hasbara approved news or something, so folks know what they are getting.
There’s a reason leftists don’t bang on about Trump all the time. It’s because he’s a lost cause. He’s a literal fascist. Nobody on Lemmy needs convincing Trump is the worst US President in history. Imo convincing Dems they should lurch left instead of right (for once) could help win them the next election. But they just don’t want to listen, don’t want to change, and seem intent on ontracising the left instead of taking on board perfectly legitimate criticisms of the party’s leadership and policies.
The first post i removed was someone defending Harris in relation to the genocide. I allow opinions, i don’t allow people defending objective terrible things like arming israel and support the genocide and settler colonialiam
Ok maybe I misunderstood your comment then.
