I came to a post on this community where a user said that a certain community was zionist. But their comment was really long and I wasn’t sure if it had been removed for that or something else. So I wanted to test it myself.
I went to that community and posted something that’s only offensive to zionists. My post was pro-jewish and anti-zionist, so there was no way to confuse it as meaning something else. I wanted to see what would happen. Either it would get removed for zionist reasons, get removed for other reasons, or stay up. That would answer my question. It got removed because the mod said they felt rage baited. That answered my question. I linked the post and the modlog here as evidence, to share my findings. Now everyone knows for sure whether that community is zionist.
What I wasn’t expecting is Ada’s response. She said in the modlogs she also felt the post was rage bait. I didn’t see that coming because I didn’t think Ada was a zionist. I thought she would be fine with seeing zionists get angry, because they get angry over the most mild things.
Is Ada supporting zionism?
I’m not going to remove someone for complaining about my moderation. Which is to say, ranting about me in this community is something I’ll leave up to the community mods to deal with however they feel appropriate.
I agree that’s more than fair. I just think it sets a precedent for future incidents when they should happen again.
