I was just perusing the modlog when I noticed something interesting. Apparently posting news about Gaza/Palestine is not allowed on !worldnews@sh.itjust.works. I decided to check the side bar and didn’t see anything. The only pinned post also does not indicate that this is not allowed

edit: the mod in question is @Eyekaytee@aussie.zone . sorry for not originally tagging. i hadn’t realized it was a rule that this must be done. i thought it seemed inappropriate since i was trying to initiate a conversation about a community’s rules and culture rather than start drama about an individual

      nope. i was looking for a good world news comm and this was the second biggest one by subscribers. i was pulling up modlogs by the top moderators’ actions since you can’t filter by community and i noticed almost all modlogs for this comm were like this. at no point did i think this was on you, specifically, so we are clear. i knew it wasn’t you because i’m who was doing the filtering. i just wasn’t trying to stir shit in that way when i see this as a community issue rather than as a specific person issue since the unwritten rule is consistently enforced

        fair enough.

        i’ve been wondering if a solution could be introducing a mega-thread for i/p stuff. I understand why ikt wants to cut back on the posts since it does tend to flood an international news forum.
