Basically, there was a discussion about how instances have rules and Feddit also needs to abide by local (Austrian) law to not get in legal trouble.

And I get called a Zionazi for saying that you cant just up and call for the massacre of civilians, regardless of which side you are on.

It’s also ironic for Dessalines to mock me for sticking to rules and laws to protect our instance.

    Sounds very complicated. It’s not some chess move, just asking if it makes me a zionist.

      I think you can understand and appreciate why it’s important to be very clear on this removing all but the smallest trace of ambiguity. Because in these situations, bad faith actors use ambiguity to their advantage for the purpose of implying things or claiming someone else meant something because an answer was simple and vague.

      So in short, loaded questions need loaded answers, and people who answer them with simple answers are either ignorant on how their answers will be misused or misinterpreted in bad faith, or they are themselves answering in bad faith.

          Here, let me spell it out for you. People who ask this question are usually asking it with the intention of using it as a gotcha for people against the ocupation of Palestine by saying that said person against Zionist occupation is advocating death towards Israeli citizens, and then saying that they are “antisemitic” because of it.

          Now in short it is simple but see, loaded questions cannot be given simple answers because the ambiguity of simple answers to loaded and often misrepresented questions is abused by bad faith actors. I think you know this very well, and the fact you still seek a simple answer that can be misconstrued or used as a gotcha is concerning to say the least.
