Just FYI. There’s truth to this, but this post headline is very clickbait.

You’re still allowed to do things like call out the genocide, call the Israeli government facist etc.

What you can’t do is stuff like call for a violent overthrow of the state of Israel.

(Which I disagree with because since the status quo is violence I think violence is justified in overturning it)

But anyways. It’s less extreme than the headline suggests.

And also it’s in an effort to comply with German laws. (Which again, I disagree with, but I’m not the one at risk of getting raided here so yeah).

I stand by the typo because closer to how its spelt in my native dialect lol

Question. Would a comment calling Nethanyahu “facist” be removed?

Ah. So it would be useful is @federalreverse@feddit.org could clarify. Cheers!

Though it seems unintuitive to me that a solution that explicitly guarantees equal rights for jews would be against the rules because it doesn’t include continuity of the Israeli state.

Would it be appropriate for people to share alternative communities which aren’t subject to as strict censorship on this issue?

What? But you just said it was only against the rules to talk about dismantling Israel if the person didn’t specify equal rights for Jews.

And @NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io explicitly did so.

long covid disproportionately affects urban marginalised groups. These are the people who voted Harris at the highest margins. So please refrain from victim blaming.

Good rule.

Next time Macron will “blast” Nethanyahu

hopefully it can migrate to a small non-controversial instance.

infosec.pub? lemmy.cafe?

Perhaps even dbzer0?

Not sure this is helpful, but:

My main issue with the reddit fuckcars is that there was wayyy to much like low quality complaining posts that got big but no one was posting the statistics and academic side of things which I think is just as interesting and convincing. So I did a couple things to try and encourage more people to post that.

On the other hand, that doesn’t seem to be a problem on lemmy, since we’re all nerds…

In my political activism and messaging though, what I did realise was it was helpful to be more vocal about accessibility for disabled people. The disabled people I talked to kind of felt like pawns in the “car debate”. Like the pro-cars people woulf use disabled people as an argument to keep cars but offer no alternative to disabled people who can’t drive. While fuck-cars allies often use disabled people who can’t drive as an argument but fail to properly fight for accessibility in urbanism. (Like seem to idealise european planning which if often terrible for disabled people — lots of stairs without ramps, many trams/trains arent wheelchair accessible, disabled people who can only move by car fail to access things on pedestrianised streets because there is no disability exception/parking nearby.)

Anyways. I found I was able to get quite a bit of a following of people who typically don’t like the fuck cars movement on microblogging platforms by being fuck cars, without alienating an entire demographic of people by not considering their needs seriously.

I’m sorry. Somewhat related experience:

As a disabled person who is physically unable to do a lot of things. The advances in AI are pretty cool in that I can do stuff I never had the capacity for before.

But people seem to reflexively demonise anything to do with AI to the point I’m shamed out of even using it as an accessibility tool. It sucks. Sometimes feels like a sort of “moral panic” just like we had back when TV or the internet or dungeons and dragons got big.

Thank you for posting here. :)

And if downvotes bother you, that’s okay. There are plenty of instances that don’t show it, say lemmy.blahaj.zone.

Also, on some UI’s you can disable it even on instances that show it.

Just to save people a rabbithole.

Kagi is pretty cool. But it’s not free. And for most people who don’t have much disposable income it’s not really a justifiable expense to pay for a search engine.

It’s so annoying how ridiculously terrible science journalism is. Like weirdly enough it’s probably more clickbait than celebrity tabloids.

It’s ridiculous how it has improved literally everything.

Like I’m a hardcore fuck cars person. I mean I used to mod that subreddit until the blackouts, I helped popularise the fuck cars movement, and even I didn’t expect this to be such a success.

Nah. I’m all for free movement. If it was upto me we’d abolish made up lines like borders and let people live wherever they want.

It costs money.

The declaration was the culmination of seven months of work to renew long-stalled talks that began in October when Ankara offered Ocalan an unexpected olive branch.

The news won a cautious welcome on the streets of Diyarbakir, the main city in Turkey’s Kurdish-majority southeast, where locals have seen repeated efforts to end the violence come to nothing.

“We want this process to move forward and not be left unfinished. They shouldn’t deceive the Kurds as they did before. We really want peace,” 60-year-old worker Fahri Savas told AFP.

There was a similar sentiment in Iraqi Kurdistan’s Erbil, where Khaled Mohammed, 55, warned: “We only support the peace process if it is serious and accompanied by international guarantees.”

Remains to be seen how genuine Erdogan is (probably not very much).
