Original comment chain

FlyingSquid is a Zionist who actively censors content critical of israel. In the past this was using false claims of anti-semitism but after acquiring mod powers he has started banning anti-israel posters.

After acuiquiring mod powers on /WorldNews FlyingSquid bans me by making up lies about defending the usage of child soldiers which never happened:

Recently he tried to defend himself by lying about it

After being called out for lying FlyingSquid pretends to act in good faith for a little as if he was just confused that day. Let’s see what happens when we play along:

When pointed out the he was lying the crybully instantly paints himself as the victim who is “about to be insulted”. FlyingSquid is clearly trying to bait an insult to use as an excuse for a reban:

Despite not being insulted, the crybully still claims he was. The Zionist victim complex is a sight to behold. He now demands to be acknowledged for his abuse of mod powers likely hoping to bait an insult:

After failing to ragebait insults the Zionist crybully “changes is his mind” and starts tacking on random extra conditions as an excuse to reban me. He now starts demanding acknowledgement for how amazing he is for falsely banning people.

At this point it is very obvious FlyingSquid has no intentions to unban me from WorldNews and is just trolling:

Subsequently he lies one more time in his ban description.

Meaning that anyone who supports Joe Biden forgiving Student Loans actually supports the Genocide in Gaza and is a Zionist.

    Your comments defending the Houthis are still up in the thread that got you banned:

    https://lemmy.world/post/17703619

    Specifically, I think, this one:

    https://lemmy.world/comment/11259752

    Houthis attacking all three imperial superpowers at once holy based.

    https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=based

    “A word used when you agree with something; or when you want to recognize someone for being themselves, i.e. courageous and unique or not caring what others think. Especially common in online political slang.”

    As one of the other mods of World News, who has personal connections to people who have lived and been abused under Israeli occupation, even I looked at some of the things you posted and went “Yeah, that goes too far.”

    You’re obviously passionate on the issue, I get that, but arguing in favor of the Houthis just because they’re against Israel is not a good look.

    https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/02/13/yemen-houthis-recruit-more-child-soldiers-october-7

    That is what got you in trouble with Flying Squid, not because they’re a Zionist.

      So you admit that according to your own logic you are a Zionist and you fully support the Genocide in Gaza?

        Calling people you don’t like a Zionist is absolutely in horrible taste.

        You treat people badly, you get caught, and you get bans. Hell, let’s let the people decide.

        https://a.lemmy.world/lemmy.world/modlog/view?target=3867209

        TL;DR - you believe you should be able to post what you want, where you want, and attack anybody who disagrees with you by labeling them “Zionist”. Read the rules (and the room) when posting/commenting, and you’ll have less push back.

          Now, in fairness, a lot of those community bans appear to have been in error and were reversed. Nobody should hold that against them.

            dubv is a weird one. You can ignore that one, as it does it to everybody. I think it’s someone’s self-hosted instance. Being banned there means nothing.

          The mods comment was defending israel by claiming the Houthi’s were not blockading the red sea to prevent the Genocide from israel, but because they are just violent bad people.

          This alone would not be a problem if Squid did not make up false accusations and banned me when his pro israel claims were challenged.

          Just like with the MBFC bot I always support my accusations with evidence. I do not randomly start calling people Zionists for no reason.

            What an ironic comment since the Zionist mods of /news and /worldnews are the ones that banned me for debunking their literal israeli propaganda. Not sure what this has to do with the mods using the MBFC website which is ran by literal Zionists that label MondoWeiss as unreliable because they are “anti-zionist”. If Anything the mods on the .world news sub’s have proven they are massive Zionists with that move alone.

            Let’s start with that one. NONE of the moderators of !news@lemmy.world are Zionists. Throwing around baseless allegations can only lead to strife. I’m a staunch defender of Palestine, and hate what is happening to them.

            We use MBFC because we need SOMETHING in place, and there aren’t many alternatives. There’s no perfect solution, and there are many topics, ASIDE from the middle east, as hard as that is to accept.

            I was banned quite a while before the first post. I just didn’t care enough to make a post about it until FlyingZionist wanted to flaunt his mod powers yesterday.

            (emphasis added) - you love to call people you are arguing with Zionists.

            For a person that claims to only attack with facts and data, you really love attacking us with neither.

              https://lemmy.world/post/16634874 <- an article posted by FlyingSquid, defending the civilians. https://lemmy.world/post/14716513 <- another article, posted by FlyingSquid, defending anti-genocide protesters https://lemmy.world/post/18568832 <- another article, posted by, you guessed it, FlyingSquid, basically saying “much of the world rightly has a pro-Palestinian bias”

              Sorry to be this guy, but out of those 3 links, only the 2nd one was posted by FlyingSquid, are you sure you posted the correct links (might be a crosspost issue or something)

              Respond to that one. Show me the evidence of me defending the usage of child soldiers as was claimed by FlyingSquid.

              I do not care about his posturing and virtue signalling comments.

              The behavior of Squid and him lying for israel and crybullying users away which disagree with him debunks your entire

              Once again: If FlyingSquid is not a Zionist show me the evidence of me defending the usage of child soldiers.

                You don’t realize how arguments work. The onus falls on the one making the claims. Furthermore, I’ve given you chances when the rest of the mods have begged me not to. I believe in allowing all viewpoints to coexist, but you chose to attack the same people that defend you.

                I’ve shown you what you asked to see. I sent you articles posted by FlyingSquid doing just that, but if it doesn’t say EXACTLY what you expect, I get “ah ha! but they didn’t say my exact magical incantation!”

                Going forward, you’re on your own. You’re no victim. You’re the bully.

                How about you explain calling me and the other mods of News Zionists?

          Your problem is that you fail to use your own logic on yourself, and falsely accuse people of defending the use of child soldiers without evidence.

          You are still doing this.

          Read my previous comment again and do some self reflection.

                Did you, or did you not, in fact use the word “based”?

                It’s right there in the comment.

                  A word used when you agree with something;

                  Yes there it is Jordan. First definition in the list.

                  The Houthis attacking an American ship transporting oil from Russia to China and thus attacking all three global imperialist superpowers is an ACTION.

                  Do you understand the difference between endorsing an action, an actor, and every single action a group has ever committed?

                  Or are you pretending most users on .world were endorsing “The usage of child soldiers”?

        No one supports genocide, except maybe people who actively encourage voting against the only party that can defeat trump.

        Because you’re wholly unconcerned about the very real threat that Trump is to Palestinians, your fake ass sanctimony rings HOLLOW as FUCK.
