Oh and instead of removing the post that violated your rules, you banned the person who submits the most content to NCD
Nuke, not to be a dick, but did you talk to Ada before making this post? Because it sounds like there might be some miscommunication here.
They have the right to remove any content from their server, but I have no intentions of holding any conversations with any admins over what content is allowed here.
No, but talking to the admins might’ve given you a better idea of why this was going down, especially considering one of the cases is an instance ban, not selective moderation.
He just told you he wants to fight, not to talk. Just ignore them.
The first link isn’t removed and the second link references Pepe. The third link is the same link as your first link
Anyone that posts bigotry gets instance banned.
I have no idea about NCD. I don’t use it, I have no idea who posts in it, and it doesn’t come in to it. Anyone that posts bigotry gets instance banned, and your most active poster, posted bigotry.
From the modlog: " Removed Post Why would the terrorists lie? 😭 reason: Violates server rule #7"
It’s only showing because I restored it myself and the restoration was federated over. Your own modlog shows its removal https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/modlog/4573?page=1&actionType=ModRemovePost
Is this real life?
lemmy.blahaj.zone doesn’t have a “server rule 7”. The removal that you’re referring to was made by lemmy.world admin and has nothing to do with blahaj.zone.
Your third link now links to the meme that got CDRMITTENS banned from lemmy.blahaj.zone. This meme breaks your own community rules, and conflates Palestinians with Hamas.
https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/16644488 and this one?
If you don’t see a how an action from a government committing genocide, that injures or kills hundreds of civilians is a problem, then there is probably little point in having this conversation.
After posting this, I will be blocking NCD from blahaj.zone
Clown shit

love you too bb 😘
… wait, is that really enough to justify removal?
It is when I’d just removed another post by the same user, conflating palestinians and hamas, blaming palestinians for their own genocide
Ah. I thought you meant there was a general rule against Pepe.
Pepe is a red flag. Not enough to ban outright with no other context, but when posted by a user who is posting bigotry elsewhere, it warrants a removal
🐸 🛩️
It’s great you’ve got such a strong moral compass and are an authority on bigotry that can recognize it and weed it out, you could have been an insane person high on the miniscule amount of power tending a pile of shitposts, removing humour because of ideology. All of us the Internet really dodged a bullet there.
My brother in Christ, take my hand. You are salty.
I understand that point of view, definitely. Just wanted to make sure I didn’t need to be checking my meme folders carefully before posting on 196, not that I have many Pepe memes lol.
I’m not associated with anyone in this thread or the situation being discussed. I’m interested how we understand and use cultural signals. Here’s some Pepe detail for the similarly curious:
The alt-right got wise to new media in the 2010s. They started meme-washing their hate mongering and trying to normalize coded hate speech in internet culture using Pepe memes and other popular formats. It snowballed and the Pepe meme = Nazi user association is a product of lasting trends from that time. It’s similar to clocking someone for wearing straight-laced Doc Martens or khakis and a white polo.
For those in the know one of those items is a small red flag. The wearer could be completely ignorant that these are known dog whistles/identifiers for members of hate groups. If someone is wearing a lot of small red flags then it’s less likely the wearer is accidentally serving white supremacist. That’s the point of stealing and manufacturing these kinds of symbols though: most people don’t know they exist or what they intend to mean so the user can feign ignorance with plausible deniability. They’re the inverse of modern progressive advocacy symbols. Wearers can hide in plain sight with just enough Nazi showing that other insiders see them. Pride icons for cowards.
The artist who created Pepe has publicly denounced the character’s use as a hate symbol and regressivist propaganda tool. Whether or not a community or individual “liberates” Pepe from the prison CHUDs built is up to them.
For what it’s worth: I lean toward liberate most of the time (fight against the thieving bigots) but in this situation, even given a permissive setting, adding “posts Pepe” as a mark against is sensible. It’s clear the user is either intentionally pushing hate propaganda or else under enough alt-right influence that their intentions aren’t relevant to the evaluation.
