Redfash mourn their fallen comrade, banned by the mods of lemmy.world after bravely spreading long-debunked hate speech about the Ukrainian victims of the latest genocide committed by Muskovy. While outsiders can’t participate in the sacred rituals, everyone is welcome to pay their respects by clicking the red down arrow (matching their clan’s color of fascism) on the post and every comment.
He was banned for that? So there is really no space for different opinions on lemmy.world?
There’s opinions and then there’s blatant lies. This is an example of the latter. Should blatant lies be bannable?
I checked the cited article, I don’t know about how trustworthy the news site is, but apparently it had existed in Israel for a while, if Wikipedia is to be believed, and it seems to make a decent case for questioning the acceptance of such a salute
Even blatant lie should not be banned. Because maybe its what he thinks its true, so who are you to say its a blatant lie.
The worst thing is that the person is not completely wrong.
I am not saying that everyone is Nazi there, I am just saying that the problem with Nazism still exists.
I don’t disagree with you on principle but even if that person thinks something is true when it isn’t that doesn’t mean they aren’t spreading lies. And they should be called out for it for what it is, not sparring that persons feelings.
Finland still officially use the swastika but that doesn’t make them nazi…
Sure, engage in discussion and prove them wrong. Let the readers determine who is right and who is wrong.
Banning is censoring, and it creates an echochamber here.
