Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I would say that the common sentiment is that Hamas and Hezbollah are terrorist organizations, but that doesn't justify killing Palestinians indiscriminately.

How long is your instance blocklist that this one left as a common sentiment?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Are you seriously saying people being pro-Hamas is far greater than people just being against the killing of innocent people?

Hard to tell, the latter ones are usually eerily quite or will deflect when pressed about the first one.

Usually? How often? Let's see your data. Or is this anecdotal?

You were the first to claim that it is a common sentiment, burden of proof is on you mate.

I'm afraid it was the other way around-

My bad, didn't scroll up all the way.

Still, asking someone for data for disagreeing with your own unsubstantiated comment seems rather disingenuous. Definitly something you want to avoid when posting with a mod tag.

I asked for data for this claim:

the latter ones are usually eerily quite or will deflect when pressed about the first one.

As for what I said being unsubstantiated, prefacing it with "I would say" should have been a clue that it was not a comment I could back up since that's what prefacing a comment with those three words means.

I notice you didn't use those words.

So, I say again, where is the data on this being a usual case?
