Lemmy.world reportedly bans people for being anti-Zionist. At the same time, numerous human rights organizations have documented that Zionist policies and actions amount to crimes against humanity (e.g., forced displacement, collective punishment, apartheid).

If banning opposition to crimes against humanity is itself anti-humanity, doesn’t that make lemmy.world complicit? How do you reconcile defending a platform that silences critics while atrocities continue?

    Incredibly bad-faithed from you. I would be extremely disappointed given all your blathering about “quality discourse”, but I knew it was not earnest from the beginning. I will ignore the bad-faithed nature of your examples that MidnightPocket already pointed out.

    The context of my question was a discussion of whether admins banning anti-zionist speech was anti-human. You replied to this by stating there is anti-zionism that “some moderators may interpret as targeting jews”. With no commentary and plenty of equivocation, this implies that that is a reasonable assessment in some circumstances. The context was decidedly NOT any of your examples.

    Give an explicit circumstance.
