Mods go crazy over one weird trick: change “israel” to “zionists”.

Apparently it’s a bannable offense not to recognize the “state of israel”.

The normalization of colonization and genocide runs deep.

    while there are issues with that comm, “don’t edit article titles” is pretty common and standard practice. i’d say you’d be well within your right to contextualize your issues with article titles in the body of posts, but i don’t think the mod is being unreasonable with this rule or ruling

    I wonder how many removals and warnings they had before the ban for rampant editorializing

    Oh…

    Nah must be your “anti-zionism” not the rules you flagrantly broke.

    Edit: I count 28 violations of rule 1.

    I dont blame that community for having strict rules. It has to be hell to mod.

    I dont think its powertripping to be strict as long as its fair.

    That rule is one that could probably be automated which would be ideal.
