I have been banned from unpopularopinion for exposing person defending genocide and use of human shields by IDF.

One of the users in unpopularopinion thread was complaining about someone calling him a “fascist”

In response I did paste a screenshot of his comment claiming IDF are not using human shields, it is Hamas who do that:

… And the mod of unpopularopinion banned me. I can only guess he is a another genocide apologist.

    OpinionHaver was making claims that did not pass basic scanning of his comment history.

    I linked up his comment for context. I don’t think that’s derailing. That’s how good discourse happens. In fact, it is my opinion, that these “rules” are generally used to censor content, which is what happened here at least in my opinion.

    But sure, if entire comment thread got nuke, it would be harder for me to make these claims.

    But week in, week out around here we see these patterns of censorship around topics that are sensitive to the regime but we still pretend as if these “mods” are “modding” and not censoring.

      By far your comment is the least problematic of the bunch, and it’s only a problem because it’s in the middle of that ruckus - it is further derailing the discussion, even if not the one starting it.

      But sure, if entire comment thread got nuke, it would be harder for me to make these claims.

      Personally I’d keep it on, because I agree with you. For me it’s a matter of transparency - if you remove stuff here and there suddenly nobody knows who said what. But I still see grounds for nuking the whole comment chain (including the top comment), to avoid a flamewar and make sure the rules are enforced.

      But week in, week out around here we see these patterns of censorship around topics that are sensitive to the regime but we still pretend as if these “mods” are “modding” and not censoring.

      Sadly you’re right.
