That is a fair critique. Israel isn’t solely at fault, but they do share blame. It’s difficult to fit the entirety of the history, but from the Palestinian point of view what I said isn’t wrong. There may be confounding external causes, but Israel has absolutely been in the wrong from nearly the beginning of its existence.
There are arguments about preventing genocide that are valid, but most of these arguments start from racist ethnostate positions that have very little moral credibility.
Most of Israeli immigration has been from the former Soviet Union, not the middle East… Unless you count the FSU as the Middle East… Which depending on how you want to count things for displaced peoples may be valid… And it really kicked off in the early 70s.

In the United States, I find the Zionist argument to mostly be a racist Christian push to remove Jews from the US.
I recognize that people may believe it without that racism… But it’s just a crazy argument to me… And I think the way you originally presented it is the way that is normalized by extreme Christian organizations in the US which is why I called it out.
The British fucked up a bunch of things when they divided up political power as they abandoned their territories… Israel/Palestine and India/Pakistan…
I’m nearly positive that the “I supported X until…” Comments are bot farms trying to normalize the second position. It has been happening a lot in the past 5-7 years or so.
there are no other Jewish places to live
This is such a weird stance. What even is this position that is nonchalantly thrown into the argument as if it even matters.
This is a hard question.
Israel was magicked into existence not very long ago(1948), immediately started breaking agreements and compacts… Displaced millions of people from their homes and has killed thousands upon thousands more… Many innocents. It is run by an extremist religious military organization.
Hamas is a brutal, far right religious extremist movement that kills indiscriminately, even it’s own people.
Objectively they are both in the wrong.
Israel has stolen and murdered the Palestinian land and people for decades while continuously lying about their intentions.
Hamas is a shit show of an organization that is probably objectively worse… But their actions make sense when you realize that their families and property have been stolen when murdered for the last several generations. The only life most Palestine people know is one of suffering and loss… And this is directly Israels fault.
In your Russia/Ukraine scenario, Israel is Russia (mostly foreign invaders) and Ukraine is Palestine(natives fighting for their land and freedom). But it’s not quite as simple because Hamas is so objectively horrible…
Here is the rest of the story: the people who chose the subdomain chose .ml because they want it to mean marx-lenin… that’s why it means that for them.
Generally you are right. In this specific instance it was chosen for the fascism.
This took a major hit just a few years ago when the UK officially backed out.
Neither. I picked an instance that is defederated from it. It wasn’t at first and it was mixed into everything.
You want me to figure your life out for you or is this a passive aggressive thing?
Two of the top ten largest instances… something like a good 10-20% of Lemmy users are full on fascists with a hard on for making other people’s lives miserable. You being ignorant of it doesn’t make it untrue.
“I went to India and I was sexually assaulted on a bus.” “THATS YOUR FAULT FOR NOT GOING TO THE ‘GOOD’ PARTS.”
No. Fuck you. India has a rampant sexual assault problem.
Lemmy has rampant problems. To ignore them and say it’s the visitors fault is such a fucking asshole position to take. If the first time you came to lemmy was when csam was being spammed and you were subjected to it… it 100% isn’t your fault. If you make a comment on something that interests you from All and you don’t see which community it is in and you get spammed with slurs and attacks for having a different opinion… it’s not your fault.
“You don’t know how to curate your experience. You aren’t very good at it. You must have issues.”
That’s what people are saying. They hide behind the bullshit example you gave “what’s wrong with selecting your interests.” No. Fuck you.
Hexbear and lemmygrad. Hexbear is one of the largest lemmy instances and it’s a pit.
To three people who say they don’t run into jerks here or they don’t understand when people say it’s worse than reddit… what rose colored glasses are you wearing? Huge swaths of lemmy are little better than 4chan.
“Oh, you just have to curate your communities.”
Stop. Take your superior than thou attitude and just stop. You are part of the problem.
You are making just such a weird argument and it sounds like you are retroactively trying to salvage a bad position because you made a mistake.
If you care strongly about audio quality. A built-in doesn’t have any quality guarantees… why then does usb vs hat matter?
If quality is your concern why bring up price in the first part? It is blatantly obvious that cheap parts *might" equate to cheap quality. This is blatantly obvious.
Obviously there will be USB solutions that are equal or better solutions than prebuilt rpi dac hats since the primary dac hats are exceptionally niche.
This response just sounds like you got caught out in your mistake/bad argument. Why be a dick about it?
This is exactly why having a couple of big instances is so beneficial. I don’t want to have to manage the infrastructure of Lemmy. I don’t want to think about banning instances for csam in particular. I want to be able to go to a place that has a set of rules I understand and that takes care of it for me.
Honestly, I don’t think there needs to be a discussion about defederation anymore… maybe a non-stickied post… but the people who are against it need to leave / get over it. To the rest of us sane people, defederation is 100% an obvious necessity in an open social structure where things like csam even exists as a possibility. Even something as benign as bots is reason enough to defederate.
Just do it. We don’t need to agonize over it or talk about it anymore. There are a lot of assholes in the world. I don’t need to engage with them.
You couldn’t pay me to use this…
