If you check our explore page you will see that a lot of pro-Palestinian accounts appear there regularly. We may however moderate accounts that share misinformation or use antisemitic tropes such as Holocaust inversion.
This kind of moderation needs to be more transparent, in the same way that the "Moderated servers" list is presented with info on why an instance is limited/suspended. It would be nice to see on the profile page the reasoning behind such a decision, maybe even with the user's post(s) that triggered it.
if memory serves me, Elia Ayoub is a scholar of cultural analysis and the effects of historical events on present societies in several middle eastern countries, including israel. the holocaust is within his area of expertise. to suggest that comparing one specific genocide to another specific genocide is inherently antisemitic is frivolous.

in reply to Eugen Rochko • • •thanks for addressing the issue Eugen
i understand the reasoning for opaque mod decisions
but when there is a large outcry it's prudent to identify the exact violation publicly
at the very least so others may avoid the snag on contentious topics
i recall a similar situation earlier this year where you spoke to the specifics of why a popular account was hidden
maybe new policy exists since then
so i ask mastodon.social mods:
allow Eugen to relay the specifics
ellie (slut arc) 🖤

If you want this platform to grow, you need to be better than this garbage response.
