Discuss anarchist praxis and philosophy. Don't take yourselves too seriously.
What does being an anarchist community mean to you? To my mind, if someone self identifies as an anarchist then they should be welcome here. If they are just here for trolling then that's another issue, but I don't think it applies in this case.
an anarchist community doesn't allow badjacketing and punching left, something this user is doing.
if it were up to me, we would have the same policies as reddit's anarchism subreddit.
and they would not tolerate this user's comments.
It seems to me that you are the only person badjacketing in this post. If you think it's a good policy to ban fellow anarchists for having a nuanced view on the Gaza situation, then you might want to check out hexbear - intolerant authoritarianism is their whole vibe.
i was called antisemitic
They said that advocating for the eradication of the Jewish state and it's people is either stupid or antisemitic. If you aren't advocating that (and I don't have any particular reason to think you are) then that statement doesn't even apply to you. It's a straw man argument. But looking at the link you posted, there's a "river to the sea" comment right there from someone else. So I can see where they might have gotten that impression. Seems to me we can chalk this up to a simple misunderstanding. They made bad faith assumptions about you, you made bad faith assumptions against them. Lets move on.
Refer to https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/9514481 for my response to flora.
only a bad faith interpretation could have led anyone to think it's antisemitism.
i am unconvinced this is true.
that's not what it's about. it's about bad faith accusations of antisemitism against principled organizers.
