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.

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?
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
