Is that what Lemmy wants to be? (lemmy.world)

A couple of months ago I wrote a single comment under a post about a hateful rage upon israel in c/news, literally I wrote “What could Hamas do to end the violence?”

Nothing else.

And I got immediately banned.

The moderators refuse to answer my messages.

Not even that, they even banned a buddy who spoke up in my defence per message - not per c/news but really just a personal message to be sure.

In 15 years of Reddit my posts got deleted a lot - but NEVER my comments and I got NEVER banned for anything.

If this is what Lemmy wants to be, then be it but without me.

Do you think this is what Lemmy needs to be?

The Lemmy.world News community moderation is awful; particularly when it comes to anything regarding Israel.

If I recall correctly I literally had a comment taken down for just explaining the perspective expressed (at the time recently) by an Israeli official. I believe the moderation note was that I was not making a "good faith" argument.

I would go so far as to say being anything but anti-Israel is not permitted in that community. I don't interact over there anymore.
