Just happened to check the modlog right after it happened. Weirded me out to see my username at the top.
Because I so rarely downvote posts, I remembered the one: https://lemmy.today/post/59636388
I downvoted it because there was no context, just a list of names. No evidence. No nothing. It looks like harassment or trying to inspire a brigade.
I’d take it up with the mod but the strange callout list without context + OP’s extended modlog makes them someone I don’t want to DM.
In case it wasn’t obvious from my post history, no I’m not a zionist and I don’t defend zionists.
I even upvoted one of their recent posts! I’m gonna go take that vote back right now.
Please take this in the “try to be nice, always be kind” spirit in which it is intended: Your moderation policies are chasing off many potential allies. I’m assuming that you are putting in the thankless work of moderating that forum because you want to raise awareness and support around important issues- like genocide. If a bunch of pro Palestinian and anti Zionist people are telling you that they want nothing to do with a forum that is moderated in this manner, it is time for some reflection. When you’re stuck in mud, spinning your wheels faster doesn’t move you forward.
