Its a shame because they’re prominent voice on lemmy. Good on the admins for not tolerating this. I don’t understand the point of targeting a person you don’t like on the internet just because they said something that upset you and spamming their post with downvotes. If you don’t like someone block their ass and be done with it. I agree with the perspective that its harassment (and an incredibly petty ineffective form of it at that)
Nobody’s perfect.
Yeah. I missed some drama because I tend to avoid lemmy.world politics forums because they are unbearable. Point taken.
The guy denied sexual assault by Hamas during Oct 7, got upset when I called him out for it, and then immediately downvoted a bunch of anti-fascist posts, for which I banned him from the comm that he did it in. In that thread, for that matter, there are all sorts of people falsely calling me a transphobe and saying I refuse to use neopronouns.
Man, you definitely were running some major hostility towards world at one point. I’ll concede that the comment was probably overstating the point, and definitely unnecessarily hostile, but it also wasn’t unprovoked.
What
Man, I will be the first to admit I’m abrasive and do a hell of a lot more than ‘post about cool stuff and chat’, but my only involvement in the 196 migration was that when the mods did move (or try to move) 196, months after I’d stopped using Blahaj entirely, I started using it on .world.
They denied “systematic sexual abuse by Hamas,” which is a specific claim in the report made by the Dinah Project, and which the UN has been unable to find evidence for in its own fact-finding missions (partly due to the Israeli government’s obstruction of their investigation). The UN’s own reports find some individual cases of sexual violence committed against Israelis on Oct. 7, not sexual violence committed against Israelis by Hamas as a systematic tool of war. That you refuse to acknowledge these are separate claims is the issue at hand here.
