    We acknowledge all calls to violence that get reported to us. Nobody gets left out.

    Here’s the problem from a lemmy user perspective:

    Most of the calls for violence come from the anti-fascists. Whether it’s anti-cop, anti-corpo, anti-billionaire, anti-Trump, anti-Israel, etc. That shit gets reported and shut down and it’s probably 98% of what gets removed. 95% of it is a single user who gets banned over, and over, and over.

    The other probably 2% is pro-Russia, pro-China, Ukrainian/Uighur genocide denial, but most users never see that angle on it.

    Very little of it is pro-Israel, rah, rah kill all the Palestinians. I think they know better than to come here and start that shit. I have removed and banned some of it, but it’s a tiny, tiny minority of what gets reported.

    So if you look at the modlog, you’re going to see a lot of removals and bans on the anti-fascist front, because they’re the ones coming here starting shit against the rules and refuse to be told “No.”
