Dbzero Governance Vote Post https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/63525728

Ahoy mateys!

A few of our users have recently pointed out that a lot of the pro-Zionist accounts on the fediverse nowadays seem to come from the feddit.org instance.

But whatever the excuse happens to be, they need to do better imo. Israel is currently the most violent, fascist and genocidal nation state in the Middle East (if you exclude the US military bases there). And yet feddit.org seems to regard the Palestinians fighting against Israel’s ongoing illegal occupation of their land as the real terrorists. ....

More context

Our instance already voted to ban pro-Zionist accounts (see https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/60585441 for reference) and the rule that was implemented is here: Golden Rule #8.

As further context, you can find relevant comments and discussion in this post by a banned feddit admin in MoG (that fact they chose to post in MoG is in itself quite telling), and this post about their defederation from quokk.au over anti-semitism allegations has recently become active again. ...

Note 2: If you think feddit.org deserves a full instance ban instead, or have alternative suggestions, then please leave your comments below. If enough people think that’s the better option, then we’ll do that instead.

In the end the Post had around 70% of support by dbzer0 users, who in the comments also called for defederation.

Here is a Link to Dbzer0 instances tab https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/instances where if you go to blocked instances you can see fedddit.org is now defederated

i dont think feddit has made a post now, but when they do i will add it

That isn't how I'm seeing any of this.

[–] einkorn@feddit.org 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Whether they are grounded in reality is another matter. Every case of "Zionist censorship" listed in the dbzer0 post boils down to one of their members calling to kill the other side or calling someone Zionist because they don't support killing the other side.

I'm just looking at what is here. Not the drama on a instance I barely notice.

[–] einkorn@feddit.org 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

So you are commenting on a post about a post you didn't even read?

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

lemmy.ml has multiple posts today about how everyone who disagrees with them is nazi or pedophiles.

such 'open-minded' types they are.

[–] CyberEgg@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 4 days ago (3 children)

When I was new to Lemmy, I wanted to get memes, and the migration tool suggested the memes on lemmy.ml. It didn't take long before my first comment disagreeing with some tankie over USSR and chinese communism got removed for "Civility". It was a normal, non-insulting comment in expectance of a normal conversation.
You cannot criticise China's treatment of the Uyghurs without getting your comments removed and almost everyone with a .ml-account I've encountered denied the crimea and genocides of USSR, the Russian Federation and China, and this denial is enforced by mods and admins.
I'm really wondering what db0-admins think about defeserating lemmy.ml though.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 6 points 4 days ago

Very unfortunate for you that your modlog is publicly viewable

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

they issue is that the lemmy.ml is the lemmy devs instance... and the devs are tankies themselves.

A lot of people don't use lemmy specifically because of the devs politics. and are on other platforms like piefed.

Personally I don't condemn products because of the actions of their creators. But I'm zionist scum for owning a Soda Stream anyway or something. Probably also for the fact I socialize/date jewish people and israelis regularly in my life.

[–] Postimo@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 days ago

No one outside the alt right would judge you for dating a jewish person or an israeli person, why did you feel the need to make this strawman? Do you have experience with being judged for dating zionists and feel the need to make their objection less palatable?

Are you talking about this one? 🤔

Edit: and this one apparently:

Link to the post

Poor nazi and billionaire-pedofiles, how dare users post this.

[–] JasSmith@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

"You're a Nazi."

"You're a Nazi."

"You're a Nazi."

"Kill all Nazis."

Maybe if you stopped calling everyone you disagreed with a Nazi they wouldn't take offense when you advocate murdering them.

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 days ago

Hmm yes, very nice.

Now let's see your take on the Russia Ukraine war.

[–] agentant@lemmy.ml 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Meanwhile Zionists perpetuate real violence on real people by the hundreds of thousands. God forbid people online be mad at them.

[–] einkorn@feddit.org 0 points 4 days ago (2 children)

And what does that have to do with people removing peoples posts calling for more violence?

You know that was hasbara, right? Previously:

conflation of state and people that Hamass ideology clearly makes

A Document of General Principles and Policies

by largely targeting and slaughtering civilians in their homes

That is not what happened. That is what Western media said happened.

 

If Hamas wants to dismantle Israeli oppression through activism, negotiations, and political reform great.

  1. It has tried to do that for decades. The most recent significant attempt was Great March of Return, wherein the IDF slaughtered Gazans.
[–] agentant@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The people are calling for Palestinian self-defense against the apartheid state intent on their genocide. The two aren't comparable forms of violence.

[–] einkorn@feddit.org 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

There is a difference between calling for self-defense, calling for killings and supporting Hamas killing civilians.

[–] JasSmith@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 days ago

The users here have even less critical thinking ability than Reddit, and I didn't think that were possible. More than one thing can be bad at the same time, but apparently you have to pick teams here and then call for death to the other team. Lemmy is a fucking parody now.
