Rules
- Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
- When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
- The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.
The usual instance-wide rules also apply.
Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

Not sure how to feel about this.
Israel is a terrorist state and those mods defend that
I feel badly about it. Zionists are fascists, and the Nakba is like the Holocaust. People should be able to say that. They should also be able to say Hamas is not conducting a genocide (because they don't have enough guns to do what they want). I don't support terrorism but I do think we should be conducting targeted strikes against IDF military assets without involving civilians, and I think the terrorism advocacy is mostly coming from Zionists.
lol
by the way i think that's regarded as anti-semitic and holocaust denial, both of which is illegal in many countries
you can see why defederation is the least one should do
Semite means middle eastern person. You shouldn't deny the genocide being done against semites, it's antisemitic.
are you one of those sovereign citizens that has their own fantasy world full of their own definitions
that would explain your comedic genius
and your antisemitism

Every time I feel like feddit.org is going into the right direction, shit like this pops up. Marvellous.
It's an unbelievably stupid decision imo. Talk about tone deaf.
Just FYI: There are laws in DE concerning Holocaust denial, relativism etc. The subject is tricky to say the least. I understand the feddit.org mods don't want to find themselves in court because some edgelords went on a rampage. They are already cursed enough moderating ich_iel ;)
Personally, I feel the whole discussion regarding Israel/Gaza is extremely difficult in Germany, even at my Stammtisch. The underlying reason is obviously found in our history, though the consequences of that history are misunderstood. Never again means never again, I don't care who commits the atrocities.
Should Lemmy.world apply the same standards as they are hosted at Hetzner?
politics is starting to become problematic, they used similar message in why they "removed or banned comment"
Honestly, I wouldn't know. Not a lawyer in international internet affairs :) Interesting question though.
That was the question raised by people when feddit.org came up with that policy. A lot of Lemmy instances are hosted at Hetzner, but feddit.org is the only one this policy.
The way it's worded, it makes it sound that anyone opposed to their POV is one of "terrorism advocates, genocide deniers, holocaust trivializers etc." I'm hoping it's just unfortunate wording.
Unfortunate wording, if you saw the comment sections on past posts on that drama you'd know the kind of people they mean with that
They are not here to have a discussion
They are just following orders
Their MO has been throughly exposed
A discerning shit poster should take note and avoid their communities, that's how federation works. When they bully noobs, educate them on the fedi lore 🐸
Which side said this?
