I still dont understand. Why not Matrix based Element or Continuwuity?
They seem to have pulled the room.
They closed the community. It’s been cool until it lasted
Fediverse search engine Holos Discover shut down this week, showing structural issues how to distinguish between individual and community consent.
its interesting because even fecesbook has a setting for this
i genuinely don’t understand how being indexable could be considered a violation of privacy. consent, sure. but why would you want to avoid being indexed?
Stupid question, but I thought you click the sidebar, and the three options were “join/leave, post, and block”.
But now, the ONE time I want to block a community, I don’t see the option. So I go to another community, just to see if it looks different. It doesn’t.
The communities now only have join/leave, and post. No block.

Not sure which frontend or app you’re using, but at least the default web UI should have a block button for you, as it does for me.
This helped me with another question I had. Cheers!
why? where should I post this then?
Because this is a ‘Meta’ level community about the overall Fediverse, or specific FV issues. Your video appears to have nothing to do with any of that.
Better places to post it might be, I don’t know… resistance, womens’ rights, anarchist, social science, anti-capitalist, etc communities. You’d have to search around to find active ones where this has good chances of being seen, of course. Cheers.

Maybe some places like these?
Cheers for the lengthy explanation!
Lol. Truth Social using Mastodon seems so ironic.
yeah thinking of some of the ppl ive met on the internet, id rather be talking to a bot lol…
but i think finding out after the fact that i was interacting with a bot somehow seems soulless… like, something i like about the internet is the (small) feeling of still being connected to the world. and that’d be lost if i knew i was interacting with a bot. i imagine there’s people who feel differently, but i think that’s nuts. if im interacting with a bot, i want to know it.
also like, in responding to you, i hope to further some intelligent discussion and positively affect the world. if you’re a bot, then that’s hopeless. or maybe im just affecting the algorithm positively, idk.
This is something that would make for quite an interesting Internet Archive.
Heh, forgot to account for that!
This all stems from a fundamental misunderstanding that no one seems to be interested in clearing up.
The original post that brought the allegations of feddit being zionist to more people is this one, and the one that originated the allegations is this one.
The feddit.org admin inside explicitly states that the removal of the comment being talked about by the original thread is not about pro-zionism or anti-semitism.
Now what does the person claim it is about? That seems to be majorly ignored. Let me rephrase it in my own words.
In Germany, after national socialism, we have very strict rules on how you are allowed to talk about it, because there were unfortunately a lot if people still denying it or not believing it. One of those rules is that no statement may be made that makes national socialism seem better than it was. So something you can’t say for example is “Trump’s ICE is national socialism!”. This seems extremely weird from an outside (the person saying it’s) perspective, because obviously, yes, the tactics Trump uses are directly borrowed from national socialism.
However, if you look at national socialism as a whole, it was much worse than just ICE. Millions were killed etc.
Now, the person who makes the statement “Trump’s ICE is national socialism!” is obviously using it to express that ICE is terrible. But if you want to look at it from a certain way (which German law likes to do) it’s also saying that they’re roughly equal, which, since Trump and ICE is currently not quite at the level of full national socialism, would minimize the severity of national socialism by bringing it “down” to the same level as the Trump regime and ICE.
Obviously, from a perspective of a person today, this seems ridiculous, because the current threat is ICE and not national socialism, so who cares about “how national socialism is talked about exactly”?! Isn’t it much more important to make sure that ICE is taken appropriately seriously? And you would of course be right. But the stance is that the ends do not justify the means, and it is very much possible to fight against ICE without comparing it to the whole of national socialism.
This is what is being talked about by the mods/admins. It has nothing to do with either anti-semitism or anti-zionism.
Now, if you say something like “Trump’s ICE resembles early national socialism!”, that is a completely fine statement to make in the eyes of the law. You are actually comparing ICE to what it actually is, “early [stages of] national socialism”, and not “national socialism [in general]“.
Feelings are running high, even as I type these words, I can imagine it. But please try to think about this stance for a moment and try to see that it is not Trump ICE apologist, or trying to minimize what ICE is doing. It is simply trying to pay heed to two important issues at the same time, of which one has much more immediacy and current real impact on people’s lives than the other.
I used this ICE example on purpose because it is even nearer than the genocide in Gaza. And because it is farther away from “full national socialism style genocide”. I hope I could make the thinking in this example clear, and I hope at least a modicum of rationality can be attributed to this.
And now let’s go back to the original zionist accusations. The original comment was removed because of the last part of it, which said “Providing material support to Israel is no different from providing material support to Nazi Germany”. As much as people don’t want to see it, the situation in Gaza is actually different than the situation in Nazi Germany. The Jewish population in Nazi Germany never launched rockets at Germans, in fact, jewish people in Nazi Germany were exceptionally peaceful. In Gaza, there is genocide happening, there is a power differential, and Palestinians need to fight back, but there is simply no rational denying that it’s not the same as the genocide in Nazi Germany.
Obviously what is happening in Gaza is terrible and Israel needs to be condemned, but what they’re doing is still not on the same level of evil as Nazi Germany. And thus you could argue that comparing the situation in Gaza to national socialism is minimizing the severity of national socialism. And thus the same kind of argument applies as in the previous example with ICE, it just is even less understandable for a person who didn’t know/understand/agree with this argument.
I’m basically sure I’ll be condemned as a zionist now, or whatever, go ahead.
Who would’ve thought that somebody with an account on an anarchist instance has problems with other people telling them what they can and can’t do?
Sure sounds like you’re against moderation. Or are you just a liar who only cares because it’s about shunning Zionism.
This comment section is a shit show. Be respectful of each other next time please. Locked.
