All from in this thread in !world@lemmy.world about a chant at a British music festival where an artist said “death, death to the IDF”.

After other users were quoting that chant in the comments and had comments removed and banned, the hero of our story, @theacharnian@lemmy.ca (appearing as “acargitz”) pointed out that under international law, fighting an occupying force is legitimate. But apparently not under world news rules, as their removed comments and the many explanations from mods make clear in the thread.

Equally against the rules is the call for the eradication of an organisation or business, even without an explicit call to violence against individual members of the business.

In the same thread: user @DeathToTheIDF@lemmings.world had comments removed for being anti-American “(again)”, though I couldn’t see the first time. It’s not even clear to me how the removed comments were anti-American.

Bonus points for the “DC Comics” removal reason. Though this seems to be incompetence, rather than malice.

    I would literally rather open my own wrists than turn over any part of my daily responsibility, in real life or on lemmy, to a large language model.

    We used to have a bot that posted fact check stats in every post, people hated that. You think they’d stand to be moderated by an LLM? Yeah, that’s NEVER going to happen, at least not here.

    Look at all the problems algorithmic moderation causes on YouTube or Facebook. Granted they’re so many times bigger than lemmy it’s not even funny, but I also don’t see any other way for them to do moderation due to their size. 🤷‍♂️ It’s damned if you do and damned if you don’t.
