The first comment was aimed at finitebanjo who is clearly a Zionist imo. I don’t get how saying “what about the other genocides” is considered a valid response. FiniteBanjo ignoring Israel committing atrocities and Tankies ignoring Russia and China commiting atrocities are different sides of the same coin.
I do find it convenient that even the most egregious Zionists like Samskara didn’t find themselves on the ban list. All the staunchly anti-Zionist communities and users got banned. Was this comm banned, it’s clearly political in nature and fits the mold. Must be a coincidence.
Ask Admiral Patrick about it. Most of the regex entries are ridiculous. But imho Samskara and other Palestinian genocide apologists shouldn’t be welcome outside of their own circlejerks.
Fair point. Tbh, the list was such a mixed bag that it’s hard to tell either way. I know that’s the main thing I’m outspoken about so I assumed it was because of that on my end.
I’m hoping Lemmy comes together and defederates from anyone using his front end after a small grace period.
A shadowban list at a software level is a very slippery slope.
Tankies denying Chinese and Russian atrocities and maximally boosting and focusing on Israel are two sides of the same coin, because Israel is “the West” and Palestine is a former Soviet ally.
Although funnily enough, the Soviets pushed for a two state solution and tankies mostly don’t want that I think.
Israel always had tensions and responded to Oct 7, they don’t deliberately target civilians, Hamas uses human shields, which leads to dead civilians. (Many rouge soldiers who go largely unpunished, but no statewide policy, so no indiscriminate bombing.) No mass graves from street executions, no children kidnapped. Moving Israelis in to replace Palestinians does happen in the west bank, but not Gaza and it’s not really state policy, although they really should crack down on that.
This was you 3 months ago. You are exactly what I’m talking about. Don’t try and pretend you aren’t a Zionist. I don’t even have to say imo like with finitebanjo. He is subtle but you are clear about it.
The only thing “west” about Israel is who they are blackmailing and bribing.
I had a quick browse through their profile and modlog and couldn’t find it.
I saw comments with a similar vibe so I don’t much doubt they said it, and it’s rather just a federation issue or incompetence on my end, but a link would make your quote more credible.
Edit: it’s in the modlog (3 months ago). I just copy pasted the middle part and dropped where he talks about Russia since it didn’t seem relevant. I didn’t want to post a wall of text.
It’s a pattern though with him, I recognize the name.
This a better response that I was expecting. Sorry for poking you like this. Some people on Lemmy are really quick to call others zionists for disagreeing on any point they think is adjacent to Israel, which is where my comment came from. I don’t know about finitebanjo, I’ve not noticed.

Found it!
It was here, for anyone else wishing for evidence: https://feddit.uk/comment/24749488
I’m on my phone so it’s probably just incompetence on my end. I’ll have another look, ta!
I edited my comment, it’s just because I didn’t paste the whole comment, only the middle of it so it’s easy to scroll over.
Why don’t you block the “zIoNiStS”? No one would be left afterwards?
Umm no, it’s a minority, don’t start thinking Zionists make up the majority and implying it’s somehow valid because there are more than one.
I don’t block them because that is how it festers. You need to challenge them clearly, blocking them actually helps them.
