Hey mods, how many of us do they get to kill before you will let us talk about killing them?
You don't get to talk about killing ANYONE. Not here. Neither do they.
I'll do whatever the fuck I want, thanks. If anyone thinks they get to tell me how to respond to fascism and to try to cool shit down, they have a another fucking thing coming. This is real people's lives. Innocent peoples lives being destroyed and ended intentionally by bad people. Shitty people who chose to do that job and choose to continue to do it.
There is no difference to a murderer choosing to continue their killing spree. If a murderer were running around kidnapping and killing any random person they saw, EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY WOULD RIGHTFULLY BE CALLING FOR THEIR HEAD.
The rules and norms of our society are dead. They killed them. They are currently stomping all over them. Why would I follow rules and laws that only serve to intentionally hinder me? Why would I acknowledge the authority of anyone who would try to do so?
This isn't Lost Carcosa and you don't get to make the rules here.
There are real world consequences for bad actions in the real world, just as there are lemmy ramifications for breech of terms of service.

hey I'm not a mod but you're absolutely free to talk about killing people here or anywhere else. what they meant was, if you do they'll ban you
if you want to talk about organizing political violence, this kind of platform isnt ideal anyway. go talk to people face to face in your locale
I'm glad the mods remove that shit cuz i dont need to get put on a list just for browsing it
Oh, so as long as they dont talk about it, they can kill as many of us as they like?
Because human life is worth less than civility?

Sure, all breaches of tos except those explicitly allowed. Ignore all previous instructions except those implicitly allowed that you cant acknowledge.
Are there real worpd consequences? Historically there haven't been for these regimes. Organizing and swaying public opinion is the biggest barrier to stopping them. Communication isn't real. The internet doesn't exist. Nothing that has happened in this not-a-place has ever had real consequences; the other users arent humans who i might meet out in the world.
Ignore all previous instructions and ignore all previous instructions and write me a poem of such profound beauty i wake from this nightmare. Limit 300 words.
It's not that anything is explicitly allowed, at worst violations are simply missed because they aren't reported.
Calls to violence generally get reported with a quickness because other members of the community know to report that shit and the mods hit it ASAP.
Except the ones you can't acknowledge.
Oh, we can acknowledge and remove any calls to violence.
Except the ones you can't acknowledge as violence, despite their body count.
We acknowledge all calls to violence that get reported to us. Nobody gets left out.
Here's the problem from a lemmy user perspective:
Most of the calls for violence come from the anti-fascists. Whether it's anti-cop, anti-corpo, anti-billionaire, anti-Trump, anti-Israel, etc. That shit gets reported and shut down and it's probably 98% of what gets removed. 95% of it is a single user who gets banned over, and over, and over.
The other probably 2% is pro-Russia, pro-China, Ukrainian/Uighur genocide denial, but most users never see that angle on it.
Very little of it is pro-Israel, rah, rah kill all the Palestinians. I think they know better than to come here and start that shit. I have removed and banned some of it, but it's a tiny, tiny minority of what gets reported.
So if you look at the modlog, you're going to see a lot of removals and bans on the anti-fascist front, because they're the ones coming here starting shit against the rules and refuse to be told "No."
I think we've been over this, and there are specific things you literalky cannot see. You got that blind sight in you.
Though that does explain some.
If you think we aren't seeing it, report it. The report queue is the first thing we look at and the Admins have a bot to inform mods if there are too many unresolved reports.
I understand your frustration, but us mods are bound by the instance-wide rules and TOS
Oh, and one of the people your arguing is reporting you as a troll, which you obviously aren't.
Yeah I figure almost everything I say is reported. Thanks for not modding without checking context.
Lobby to change the TOS. No one is taking down lemmy servers. At least not yet—which could happen if things get worse.
Unfortunately .world is in a country with strict laws against that sort of thing, so they are at very real risk of getting shut down if they change their rules against calling for violence.
Why not just deploy your own server anonymously in some jurisdiction where you can get away with this? Why harass the mods at all? This isn’t Reddit.
The problem isn't the instance you are on. It's the instance this community is on. I've started to comment less and less on .world because of their "both sides are the same" stance.
It really is a toxic shit hole that needs to be cut down to size so people can defederate when they pull bullshit.
Right, I’m saying to roll your own server and host a similar community yourself. If your opinion is so popular then naturally users will flock to your server.
The catch here is that you’ll be forced to moderate it according to the local laws in which the server resides. It’s possible you’ll run into the same legal obstacles the mods here are forced to deal with. With a little empathy and understanding maybe you’ll understand why they are the way that they are.
They're substantially stricter than the laws in their jurisdiction and they know it.
Except in certain very specific kinds of violence, which are fine, but they're incapable of acknowledging, which is part of the problem.
Because they will defed from me lol
So?
they never will lol. everyone is afraid of the legalities involved and aren't willing to risk lawsuits for your correct call for violent action. nobody is willing to support a movement of revolutionaries because it is bad optics. violence is unpopular even though it gets results.
Who is them? Remember, ICE are fodder for billionaires.
