Netanyahu has been a criminal for many years, not just the past 3 months. His far-right partners should be disturbing to anyone who cares about freedom and human dignity. I’m not going to scroll through old comments to find examples for you though.
I like Thunderbird. They use telemetry in a way that is pretty standard, and it can be switched off completely if you don’t like it. I understand the philosophical objection, but I support the project.
I don’t agree with or like Israel’s government, which I have stated publicly multiple times.
I’m not sure what you are trying to accomplish here, or what your obsession is with a country that existed for a dozen or so years half a century ago.
[Israel] is currently trying to do everything in it’s power to start a war with Iran
context: Iran launched at least 180 missiles into Israel on Tuesday
Yes we do see exactly what they are trying to do here. To be honest, I’m finished indulging it.
As I already said, you are going to an awful lot of effort to defend a country that executes women for wearing a hair cover improperly.
If you have questions about a moderation decision, you can always message me or another mod. We have frequent discussions and often make changes to past and future moderation decisions based on user feedback.
Wht is every story I read about women in India basically women saying, “please stop raping us,” and the government replies, “not even a little?”
It was actually no trouble at all to discuss Iran in a post about Iran. What would be weird is if I started bringing up non-existent countries from completely different continents.
That’s why we have a diverse moderation team. My politics don’t effect my moderation decisions. But even if they did, other mods would step in to correct it. And vice-versa.
I definitely support the right of women to uncover their hair in public without getting murdered. Yet you seem to be spending an awful lot of energy defending the regime in Iran.
“With God’s help, the blows of the uprising front will become stronger and more painful on the worn and rotting body of the Zionist regime,” he said.
Sounds very rational.
I always had to adjust the refresh rate.
I’m surprised nobody has mentioned the horribly distracting flicker that they make.
Wow, so weird that Iranian officials somehow keep getting killed in these targeted attacks against people coordinating terrorist attacks.
Mastodon manages to do it on ActivityPub
I would argue that there should be a block feature and also a mute feature. What we currently call “block” is actually just a mute.
Imagine finding out one day that someone you’ve blocked for harassment has been following you around and making nasty comments on every single post you made for months, or even leaking personal information. You just didn’t know it.
It happens, and even on Lemmy you will have people who will do this (doxing will get a ban but other behaviors may slide under the radar, especiallyif the target doesn’t see and report it).
When I’ve brought this up with depth, they have shot it down immediately. Basically, their attitude is that posts are public by default. So hiding them from a blocked user doesn’t really do anything.
Of course, that’s nonsense. Mastodon does it. It has an incredible chilling effect on harassment.
I think there may be a challenge or challenges that you haven’t pinned down yet. First is: what problem does this solve?
Second is, how will people know that they are housed under the same roof, so to speak? A small instance dedicated to NBA basketball may be interesting, but if it seems disconnected then people would be wary. Small specialty instances can be shut down without warning for all sort if reasons.A consortium of instances may help with this issue, as long as it is immediately clear through common branding that they are part if the same group.
Third is that different communities have different needs.
Yeah I am morally okay with opposing Putin, the Ayatollah, Xi, Kim, Erdogan, Asad, and their ilk.
No, that’s Lego. Legos is a large metropolitan city in southwestern Nigeria.
