So a Palestinian facing genocide autocompletes a hashtag incorrectly by mistake (#doctor -> #doctorWho) and you jump down her throat?
How about you get some fucking perspective, Angela?

WTF!
Yes, I commented that it definitely was not the correct hastag, and I will again!
And that has nothing to do with the disgusting genocide, ethnic cleansing, and progroms done by the terrorist state of Israel!
The only people who can remove posts will be administrators of the instance where the post was placed. I'm not one!
As for Joy being a Palestinian or not, with a post out of the blue I have no way of confirming this is genuine or not.

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •So, Karen, just so you understand the consequences of your actions:
Because you reported this post (mastodon.energy/@AngelaScholde…) by @joynewacc for an erroneously autocompleted hashtag (#doctor -> #doctorWho), a mastodon.social moderator *deleted her post*.
Yes, read that again: the post of a Palestinian, suffering through genocide in Gaza and trying to share her experience – someone who is, moreover, a founding team member of Gaza Verified (gaza-verified.org/team/) – was *deleted* for a stupid hashtag that some white Karen in the West got distressed about.
This is so fucking wrong in so many ways that I don

This is so fucking wrong in so many ways that I don’t know where to begin.
I want to know:
1. Is it mastodon.social policy to just go ahead and delete the posts of its members or was this a moderator acting out of spite against a Palestinian? (Or is everyone on mastodon.social at risk of having their posts deleted if moderators don’t agree with the hashtags they use?)
2. If this is not mastodon.social policy, I’d like to know what action will be taken regarding this moderation action and the moderator responsible and what will change internally to ensure that something like this doesn’t happen again.
Israel is already doing their best to erase Palestinians. The least we can do is to not help them by literally deleting the posts of Palestinians on the fediverse. Thank goodness hashtags weren’t a thing in the days of Anne Frank because clearly some of you would have burned her diary had she used the wrong one by mistake.
3. Can we all, please, have some fucking basic decency and maintain perspective when dealing with people suffering through genocide, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid? It’s a pretty low bar for humanity.
And, whatever you do, do not be this Karen.
Check your bloody privilege.
And fuck your hashtag.
We’re talking about human lives here.

I have never heard of anyone getting a post deleted for using the "wrong" hashtag, but if it was going to happen on here, it's not surprising it's mastodon.social
I also didn't know anyone would bother to complain or report a post for such a reason. Literally the mute button is right there if a person's use of hashtags bothers someone that much.

"wahhh, my precious fandom......brown people dying en masse interrupts my White(TM) colonial safe space :("
to start, these are actual people dying and this is a further act of censorship. the proper categorization of your blorbos is not more important than real, tangible, human lives.
on a more petty note the show is on its deathbed after the catastrophe that was Disney Who. so at least Angela won't have much to report after for long.

I think its point 1,
A friend left mastodon entirely (im trying to get her back on, on mstdn.social.) because she posted a historical accurate, backed with sources, post about Jewish sholdiers in the Nazi army.
Not a hit piece, mind you, just historical facts, without blaming, just a "hey, this happend in the past"
And they deleted her post for "anti semitism"
