Well this is silly. The mod of that comm certainly seems to enjoy getting in fights. So modlog says you are banned for Rule 6 which relates to calling someone Tankie, Russian Bot, etc.
Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, ‘paid by Putin,’ Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.
I think implying they were lying about where they are living does sort of fall under that, but its a reach.
That said, they also didn’t say they were not from US. Just that you wouldnt be able to see the point because you’re from the US. Nonsense, and obviously logically inconsistent, but not an admission. They also might be an immigrant of some kind, their post history mentions travelling in Texas and other states, so they have by their own words at least been to the US.
I would say its a wash. Ban was a bit of a powertrip unless they revise their rule 6 to explicitly include implications of false identity, but also this is right at the top of the rules and jumping to they’re a foreign propagandist is silly on a global platform.
That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
Why not just block the comm and move on? From what I’ve seen of your profile I can’t imagine a sub with that rule is going to be a good time for you.
This is kind of an interesting one historically. My understanding is it goes back to minor scriptural differences with Christian practices. Essentially early Christians had a rule against usury or the practice of taking interest on lending. Jewish people of the same era had a similar rule, but it was interpreted at the time to only apply to lending within the faith.
Now with banking taking off as being a useful thing to have for business, Christians had a stigma against being lenders, so instead they legally enforced a code restricting Jewish people to essentially only being able to take those professions.
So a combination of preexisting antisemitism and cultural disdain for moneylending combined to force Jewish people to be the lenders, and then Christians grew to hate Jewish people more because of the situation they created.
