In the expulsion of russian maintainers thread there are multiple people who are insulting russians as a whole. Isn’t insulting people for their nationality against lemmy.world CoC? Is it allowed to insult egyptians or vietnamese people in a similar way?
If you see content that you think breaks the rules, use the report feature rather than making a callout post on a random sublemmy.
Are they insulting all Russians or the country Russia?
Top comment is from fedia.io, they are insulting both the country and Russians.
Their instance policies state:
“Hate speech and abusive or threatening behavior is not permitted, specifically that which directed at any gender, nationality, religion, race, age, pizza topping preference, or sexual identity. One can hate on systemd all day long here.”
If you think it’s a violation, report it. If they do nothing with it…you’re out of luck.
The rules for any instance boil down to, at their most basic level, “every moderation decision is up to the people who run their instance, and there is no appeal.”
It seems like fedia.io is a difference instance. You can ask lemmy.world to defederate from them. You can also block the instance yourself. Go to your settings and at the bottom block the instance.
Jesus don’t ask lemmy.world to defederate, just block the instance if u don’t like it.
Top comment is from fedia.io, there are other comments insulting russians from difference instances including lemmy.world
Just a guess, but no? Insults are subjective I suppose and not being able to ‘insult’ a country or it’s people would make many discussions impossible I think.
I agree with what you wrote but the situation will get worse over time in many social sites.
Americans and many Europeans have a terrible track record of discrimination in wartime, the last few generations, and it’s hardly going to change now. And while many of the nations are not officially at war , they are in some things that matter
Usually war has to stop for a few years before the targeted ethnic groups see a change.

Opposed to war criming, torturing, raping Russian troops? Aww shit. Those poor dudes, I didn’t mean to be rude to them.
There are many “rude” armies in the world. Is it ok to insult all people from india because member of the indian army raped someone?
Hey, I’m from Germany. You tell me.
You tell me.
If it’s ok for russians then it’s ok for germans, indians, ukrainians and every other nation. If not, it’s not ok for everyone including russians.
It’s not ok for anyone and when I still to this day pay for things my grandparents didn’t even participate in, the whole of Russia is responsible for the atrocities their country is committing. Rise up, get rid of your dictator and all his cronies, give back the land your stole, pay reparations and we’re talking about forgiveness.
Yes, I feel responsible to make sure nothing like the rise of Hitler ever happens again here. Russians should feel the same responsibility.
Same goes for pretty much every country. You should rise up and fight your government who is beating and arresting climate activists.
Yes, that’s the spirit. And the first governments that should be punched are the war waging ones. I’m glad we both agree that Russia indeed bad, at least currently. Have a good day.
That is not specific to Americans and Europeans.
You sure seem to be pushing a lot of Russian talking points on Lemmy, comrade.
Such as? Is pointing out violation of the rules and hypocrisy a russian point?
Gosh you guys are being so mean to us paid propagandists.
Do you go on ML to explain to them how justifying a war of aggression is against the rules?
People should read the TOS more often.
Not sure. The content policy doesn’t seem to be super watertight to me. You’re not allowed to attack users or groups. And “the Russians” aren’t a user. And I’d say it’s debatable whether “group” means group of Lemmy users or group of people in general. They also rule out other behaviour against any living being, but insulting them isn’t part of what’s prohibited… Just proper harassment.
So I’d say it’s not very clear whether that kind of behaviour is against their rules. If you’re unsure, you can always flag a comment or post and let the moderators decide. They should know. And it’s their job to make that decision anyways.
Many countries suck for various reasons. But the average citizen is just trying to live their life.
