Is that true though? Is it really a Zionist server?
There are a lot of people who vaguely lean pro-Israel (but may be revaluating their position in light of recent news), who cannot be called Zionist.
I just think words matter and one shouldn’t debase the meaning of the world Zionists.

There are two mega threads on Ye power tripping bastards community.
You can review this discussion for yourself.
My conclusion is that they used the law to hide behind. Sure some of the offending content should be removed per German law but there is a lot more modding that happens on there to ensure that zio view points are validated and genocide is white washed.

Unless these are new threads, I believe I’ve read through them.
I am not convinced they are Zionist or whitewashing Israeli genocide (in the manner of tankie degenerates).
I genuinely believe that it benefits no one to casually label people zionists.
I will give you an example from my native country, Ukraine. After Hamas went on their stupid rampage, a lot of Ukrainians supported Israel (I don’t understand this since the Israeli government is largely pro-russian). People even equated Hamas with the russians (e.g. mass organized killings of civilians).
That being said, once they saw what Israel did in Gaza, many (not all) started taking a more critical look at their support for Israel.
I am just saying, it’s not good to label people when their views can be flexible and are sometimes driven by ignorance.

I didn't label the "people"
I labeled the server aka "moderators" and owners who issued intellectually incongruent statements to justify their censorship and other unsavory behaviour.

Fair point.
I still don’t think the Feddit administration (in the broad sense of the word) is Zionist, but I will admit that I could be wrong.
For what it’s worth I’ve always leaned on the side of the Palestinians, even before the russians invaded in 2014. I just think some caution is needed with using the term Zionist (especially when there is a solid chance of changing their views).
