Honest inquiry, why the downvotes?

Because it exposes what that thing is. It's not a refuge for Jews. It's a refuge for white supremacists that just happen to be Jews.

From racist or zionist or both users from federated instances

Said it once said it a million times: votes need to be public. It's WAY too easy to brigade and vote manipulate.

IIRC they are public, but it's not displayed in the web UI

Cool I gotta get a mod to show them so I can pre-emptively block the nazis before the start sending me harassing bullshit.

But what do you use votes for? Why do you care about them?

Because if you say something normal and rational then a bunch of nazis come by and completely clobber what you said, people aren't just going to think for themselves and say "wait, this guy is right" they're going to say "wow this comment has -990 score, must be wrong" Now the intended takeaway is the exact opposite of whatever point I made.

Because an instance’s community isn’t going to appreciate brigading, especially when it comes from other instances, and the instance’s mods would need this information to in order to manage such abuses.

Downvoting Inconvenient truths is a common L.

my best good faith guess would be that it's 10 years old, and absent more recent corroboration, it could plausibly be an isolated anecdote rather than an ongoing systemic policy

Zero surprise.

If the West accuse China of doing something, you know they're doing it themselves somewhere.

They learned it from the Americans (hint: we did it to Puerto Ricans, and probably other)

On reservations in the US, native women are often offered sterilization as a treatment for totally unrelated symptoms.

This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
