A user posted the question What opened your eyes to what’s happening in Palestine? on !asklemmy@lemmy.ml.

As is evidenced, multiple comments have been removed by mods. The Mod log shows the moderator removing multiple of these comments due to “rule 1”, which on lemmy.ml is:

No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.

The mods then also banned some of the commenting users for a few days.

This all lead to a post by one of the affected users to AskLemmy, accusing the mods of “removing all comments critical of Hamas”. “No comments critical of Israel were removed”, the user alleges. The post has since been removed by the lemmy.ml mods as well and the user banned for 14 days.

    In the news related communities on that instance it was the same shit. Tankies trolling and straight up insulting others, or just spreading disinformation. I tried reporting them but they never bothered to do ANYTHING and the same trolls did the same shit over and over again in other comment sections. That’s when I decided to block all the Lemmy.ml communities when I see them. It’s just Lemmygrad pretending not to be Lemmygrad.

      I try to resurrect !dundermifflin@lemmy.ml about the show “The Office” should I move it elsewhere?

      It’s a pretty laid-back show, and there were already 400 people in that community, so it made more sense to keep using it rather than create another one from scratch.

        There is a television and movies specific instance somewhere. If you search communities you should be able to find it. I’d create show specific communities in that instance.

        Found it and it already has a The Office community; https://lemmy.film/c/theofficeus

          Well, I was a big fan of lemmy.film, posted a lot to the communities there, but unfortunately it has been down for a few weeks now.

          We created !moviesandtv@lemm.ee as a replacement to !moviesandtv@lemmy.film.

          Since then, I try to stick with established instances.
