    What’s a “neutral platform”? On Lemmy.world you get banned if you say something bad about israel.

      I frequently state the fact that Israel is a genocidal apartheid ethnostate that has “Jewish supremacy” as the basis of its existence and should be abolished, and I haven’t been banned anywhere on lemmy.world for it

        Nah, I see people who shit on ukraine a lot, and are pretty common to see in a lot of places. They have been here for a long time now, and are still going strong. So if higher visibility accounts, that lots of people know about, do it, I am gonna have to assume you either are full of shit, or you saw accounts with the fingerprint of bot behavior getting torched, and just decided it had to be due to having a negative opinion of Ukraine. That, or you are talking about people being out-right racist, or preaching violent rhetoric about it, cause that can get you banned, but it isn’t for the reason you are making it out to be, here.

          Yeah I realized it was a Pro-Ukraine community, not the entirety of Lemmy that’s banning people for their views on Ukraine.

            So you went into a private community, created to support Ukraine, and you are blaming lemmy.world, that they banned you? Because I have seen plenty of Ukraine critical stuff on lemmy.world, even stuff that borders on out-right ethnic bigotry, get to stay, because the accounts aren’t really breaking rules, and don’t act like bots.

          Sure, but I see that content regularly bombarded with take down notices, particularly when it’s a post.

          Lemmy.world is highly allergic to anything that might be construed as anti-American or pro-non-western Evil Country.

                I can still see them on the other instances they subscribe to usually. When I have seen bans the accounts have mostly looked like bots, and got booted for looking like one. The others I have seen have people with violent, or bald faced bigotry. I am sure there are people that got booted unfairly, because people are running the show, and people aren’t great for this sort of thing. However, a standard practice of banning people from the instance for talking shit on Ukraine, or Israel, is not a thing.
