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

Explain to me, how are you not a proponent of genocide if you want to eliminate a nation?

So anyone who supported the end of Rhodesia or apartheid South Africa was pro genocide.

Which countries have partitioned and taken over the land of Rhodesia and South Africa? You can show me on the map.

Imagine trying to argue that Rhodesia still exists and expecting anyone to take you seriously

Are you saying that Aliens stole it and placed Zimbabwe in its place...?

I hope you understand that playing semantic calvinball doesn’t actually convince anyone

I hope you understand that you being completely out of arguments is evident here.

My "argument" is that your obviously just playing semantic games, which you are.

Well, in that case, all I can recommend is re-reading what I wrote, because you either didn't get it, missed it, or misunderstood it.

Zimbabwe.

and South Africa?

Post-apartheid South Africa.

You can show me on the map.

A map highlighting the two countries mentioned above.

I'm sorry, are you a disabled person? Or did you forget the point you guys were trying to make?

Rhodesia changed its government and name.

South Africa changed its government.

No third parties partitioned the lands of either.

Your examples are advocating for my approach of punishing the leadership and giving the people a fresh start.
