The D QuuuuuillApparent unwritten rule of "No posts about Palestine" on [email protected]
goatI didn’t do any of this. I gave up the community a few months ago
ĈielkorpoIt’s @[email protected] which i have banned on our instance before this, due to them flat out denying genocide in Gaza, so they cannot see your ping.
How do banned mods expect to defend themselves?
I banned them instance-wide, not specifically for this community; we have allowed mods on alts before to speak, but i think this is a very, very clear case of PTB. They deny the genocide blatantly, and in general has spouted pretty disgusting bullshit.
As for the genocide denial claim, check out this thread. lemmy.world/comment/19713120 (Deleted comments but check modlogs). They have also used “genocide” in quotes. If all of this doesn’t make them a zionist, i do not know what does.
Also small bonus, I was in a thread with another zionist once (in that thread that person went mask off and called arabs subhuman, and was just horribly racist in general) and ikt refuted my “all arab populations support palestine claim”, i am literally in the middle east lmao, didn’t know i actually needed a racist from australia to tell me true reality 😂
In short, this asshole has nothing to defend since they’ve made their positions very clear. I don’t want somebody like them on our instance, even on alt; just to spew hateful rhetoric in “defense” of themselves.
The crew of the Mikeno, who may have broken the siege of Gaza [UPDATE: Kidnapped by Israel] - Lemmy.World
Of 42 ships in the Global Sumud Flotilla, one made it into the waters outside Gaza. It remains unknown whether they made it to Gaza or if they have been arrested by the Israeli navy just when they were about to enter. While not officially confirmed, the following footage allegedly shows their arrival in Gaza: syzito.xyz/@fkamiah17/115304225699538245 edit: It seems this post has been taken down, it was probably a video from another occasion. Other sources claim that the Mikeno too has been captured by Israel: https://mastodon.social/@Al_Quds_News14/115303483176696689 [https://mastodon.social/@Al_Quds_News14/115303483176696689] According to Israel via Al Jazeera, they have seized “all but one” of the vessels carrying aid: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2025/9/2/live-geta-thunberg-once-more-on-board-sumud-flotilla-sailing-for-gaza [https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2025/9/2/live-geta-thunberg-once-more-on-board-sumud-flotilla-sailing-for-gaza] This could refer to the Marinette, which is still just north of Cairo, or to the Mikeno, whose status is not confirmed: https://globalsumudflotilla.org/tracker/ [https://globalsumudflotilla.org/tracker/] In either case these people are heroes.

Update: > It is with heavy hearts and sadness that we announce the Global Sumud Flotilla vessel “Mikeno” was seized by the Israeli Navy. > > The captain, a hero, defied direct Israeli orders to shut his engine down and seize progression. He then went completely dark, shutting off all electronics and maneuvering past their blockade. The “Mikeno” made it within 7NM of the coast of Gaza. The ship was then intercepted, seized, and boarded by naval commandos deployed from multiple Israeli warships with drones flying overhead. Source: https://t.me/gsfnews/217 [https://t.me/gsfnews/217]
that’s certainly the modlog history.
I’m sure you want to correct the record in this thread that I’m unrelated to ikt’s actions. There are more comments referencing me than there are comments referencing ikt.
Yeah i noticed, even after the spat between dbzer0 and mog i do not think framing you as the person responsible is okay, since checking the comm modlog it was clearly all by ikt, who as i’ve described is a huge piece of shit; and you’ve abandoned that community anyway checking the “asking for mods” post. I’ll talk to the other mods about this
I also notice that this post doesn’t meet the posting guidelines
-
There’s no mod/admin listed
-
There are only removed posts, no banned users.
-
There’s no screenshot showing the mod name
-
There’s an explanation for each removal
-
There’s no explanation as to why this is unfair.
It also doesn’t meet many of the rules:
-
Quill didn’t receive any of these mod actions.
-
There are no mod names attached
-
The accused PTB also can’t respond
Browsing through some of the posts across this community, very few actually meet the guidelines and rules. For the sake of transparency and the purpose of this community, shouldn’t the standards be much higher?
Huh, i actually didn’t notice. I only moderate on this community when it’s breaking of instance rules or clear spam, but i leave the actual moderation per comm guidelines to Unruffled or db0. I didn’t even know we have a ‘accused PTB can’t respond’ rule lol, but i have only banned their main, and it was a couple of months ago, unrelated to this post.
But yea i agree with you. @[email protected] @[email protected] what do you two think ?
@db0 - Divisions by zero
Epicurean Revolutionary Libertarian Socialist I make FOSS [https://github.com/db0] things: * AI Horde [https://aihorde.net/] * Fediseer [https://fediseer.com/] * Pythörhead [https://github.com/db0/pythorhead] * Lucid Creations [https://dbzer0.itch.io/lucid-creations] wiki-user: db0
db0You should aim to follow the sidebar rules .
There is no “accused PTB can’t respond”. I don’t know what either of you are talking about. We explicitly allow PTBs to respond. Just not by opening new threads about it.
Yeah, but what about the majority of posts made in this community not actually following these guidelines and rules?
I’m not as anal about rules like other mods. I understand that people often don’t see the sidebars and mistakes happen easily. So long as things tend to follow the spirit of the comm, I tend to let things go or just ask the OP to amend their post. The rules are there to help people follow the spirit of the comm.
do you think this community will accept if a moderator featured in this community used your comment as an excuse for their moderation?
It depends? I think you’re still under the mistaken idea that this comm judges mods on how well they follow their printed rules, rather than how much of a power-trippin’ bastard they’re being. A mod can have bastardly written rules and follow them to a T and we’d still call them bastards for having such rules.
such as you banning users for being libs?
Why did I just know you were simply building up to a gotcha 🙄
If you feel I’m being a PTB, make a post about it in this comm.
if you were aware of your own hypocrisy then that’s on you
No hypocrisy here mate. But good to see your claim of trying to amend relations was just a lie since you’re still clearly salty AF and having to resort to bad faith statements like these.
Eugene V. Debs' GhostGoat is still upset, it’s why they’re here. No other reason.
I am upset, yes, because you and others keep slandering me with falsehoods
ArxCyberwolfGoat, you really need to back off. The drama is over, stop trying to reignite it. You made your defense already, you don’t need to go after db0.
very well, as long as I’m not mentioned
i didn’t realize there was a rule to @ the mod in question. i’ll amend the post
There is no such rule! Where are you peeps seeing these?!
oh there isn’t? i just assumed goat was saying that based on… you know… the rules. i’m on my phone right now so i don’t have an easy way to read the sidebar
goat says a lot of things…

He wants it removed because people are calling him out. That’s why he is shifting to this post breaking its rules.
Apparent unwritten rule of "No posts about Palestine" on [email protected] - Divisions by zero
I was just perusing the modlog when I noticed something interesting. Apparently posting news about Gaza/Palestine is not allowed on [email protected] [/c/[email protected]]. I decided to check the side bar and didn’t see anything. The only pinned post also does not indicate that this is not allowed edit: the mod in question is @[email protected] [/u/[email protected]] [https://aussie.zone/u/Eyekaytee] . sorry for not originally tagging. i hadn’t realized it was a rule that this must be done. i thought it seemed inappropriate since i was trying to initiate a conversation about a community’s rules and culture rather than start drama about an individual
Tbf It’s not his fault in this case, but he should have left the mod team to not be pointed at by mistake
He can do lots of things to improve this. He’s chosing not to and then gets mad at people saying he can.
Goat is trying to get your post removed because they don’t like it.
BlazeThere are only removed posts, no banned users.
Doesn’t that fall under “other sanctions”?
What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
there is an explanation for why this is unfair: the rule is not explicitly stated anywhere. it seems outwardly to be something that was arbitrarily decided and never communicated. i tried to keep it very focused on that. i’m sorry i messed up on this post in some regards, i will amend my post some more when i’m at my computer and can add more screenshots.
i was actually really trying to keep the focus on that this community is a problem instead of turning this into a “everyone point fingers!” time. it seemed to me like since this is the world news community with the second most subscribers like it would be a likely place for newcomers to lemmy to go looking for this content. i saw at the time the most recent post was from the last 24 hours, idicating to me that it was still active.
my first comment in this whole thread was drawing attention to other communities people might want to subscribe to to elevate their visibility and encourage users to subscribe to them, elevating their profile. i was less concerned with ikt defending themselves since i think they’ve made their stance abundantly clear through their actions and more concerned with limiting the damage done by a community that appears atop the list due to its subscriber account since everything is political and everything is propaganda.
for full disclosure, i think israel’s genocide of the Palestinian people rises to the level of being world news, relevant to everyone. if it were me and i were subscribed to this comm, i’d want to unsubscribe and find other comms to join to increase their visibility rather than stay connected to a wavelength that presents a skewed view of the world via omission.
i’m less interested in reforming heavily propagandized people on a presence platform than i am on limiting the damage they can do. over the years i’ve reached the conclusion that the internet is not a free forum for discussion, but a great huge alleyway covered in posters. our role, as the people in that alleyway, is to make sure our view has presence so that later someone can perform the verbal confirmation that actually shifts views in the propaganda formula.
i get that the whole world is invested in what’s occurring, but it doesn’t give much room for other global news, which is why ikt was removing it I think
until there’s a rule or a pinned post i won’t speculate on their reasoning and only judge based on that actions speak louder than words
so what do you think about this community’s response to your thread?
personally i am unsurprised, YPTB is quite obsessed with me
