Most of the mod logs shared in this post are about the social contract of tolerance, that Nazis/Zionists have broken that contract, and that they don't deserve empathy for their views and instead deserve punishment. Many Nazis/Zionists advocate for the deaths of Palestinians, Jews, third worlders, and the like. Those people should expect to receive what they dish out. We have to be OK with bullying the bullies, and recognize the real victims.

That being said, direct calls for suicide individually rather than general statements about capital punishment for a group of people based on their specific political views is bad form. That mod log was deserved.

These mod logs though, imo, all paint the picture that these Feddit.org mods play victim while shouting for genocide, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid. Doesn't really sound like personal beef. Sounds like the right action to take to prevent these communities from growing.

feddit.org's Zionist bar problem: community ban(s) vote

Jump

It's funny how that first post cites a strawman (I highly doubt people on db0 make blanket statements about all Israelis, just how I doubt people on db0 make blanket statements about Jewish people or any organized community). People are individuals that seldom have intersections that align all the same within any given group.

The second post is a hypocritical neoliberal that rejects the notion that Israel exists on stolen land, land that must be returned to the indigenous group: Palestinians. One state solution, where Palestinians and Israelis have all of the same rights and freedoms, is the only way forward. Two state solution is a fucking lie used to swoon centrist liberals that value compromise above all.

Although I don't have the time to research the communities we're proposing to ban from feddit.org, I'm glad we're targeting communities first based on evidence rather than banning entire instances outright because of our intuitions.

Wholeheartedly agree that we should isolate Zionists though. Fuck em.

As for the future, I agree that we should consider re-federating with these communities if 1) they change their policies to prohibit Zionists and the other points OP mentions, and 2) they show consistent mod logs that adhere to those policies, seeking deplatforming of mods that fail to apply compliance correctly.

Edit: instance-wide policy changes would also go hard, as others have said. It's in our interest to notify anti-Zionist users on Feddit.org that their instance safeguards Zionists because we're looking out for their best interests. Cutting off complete contact can shake things up enough for anti-Zionists to recognize why there is a defederation/ban. If we ban just the communities, then we won't have as wide of an impact.

Curious to have the debate with other db0-ers

Edit 2: we could also consider completely defederating from these communities, then doing temporary protest defederation bursts with Feddit.org overall so normies over there get notified of our reasons for defederating on a frequent basis. Defederating from Feddit.org although one time will have a short term effect of informing the people there. Regular (or irregular) bans for defined periods of time can offer more chances of visibility and lasting impact, while upholding the Fediverse and staving off mass fracturization.

The obvious solution is architecting society such that parents have more time to parent while making enough to pay the bills, rather than exporting parenting because they can't afford to miss work due to parenting.

You start having enough of these conversations, and it all eventually points back to capitalism and taxing the rich.

If the pushback on social media doesn't get Discord to drop these plans, then I'll just have to delete the app.

Not caving to another app asking for Personally Identifiable Information (PII) only for this same data to be leaked months to years later.

Society will do everything to protect children aside from making better parents.

So the image in the post communicates sarcasm for sure, but the post text itself doesn't communicate sarcasm to me. Could just be dense.

Either way, the underlying concern is that boomers are old and don't like change. Younger people enjoy seeing wind turbines, so this whole issue is getting smaller and smaller year over year.

That wind turbines kill birds is entirely sensationalized and overstated, absolutely.

Birds die from way more sources, like feral cats and flying into glass windows. Looks like someone else posted the source.

Things have gotten better since we noticed that birds recognize the turbine blades more easily if 1 of 3 of the blade are painted a non-white color.

Don't think we've really done anything with cats and windows to mitigate those issues

As soon as you convert from an .XLS file to a .CSV file, the data and sig figs used to display that data are saved while the math formulas used to calculate that data are erased.

This means that when you try to go from .CSV to .XLS, Excel doesn't know the original formula that created the data to then be able to display more decimal points. The formula is absolutely necessary to change sig figs of displayed data.

The only other way I can think of that would allow one to change sig figs in .CSV data is if the .XLS file was converted with like the maximum number of sig figs displayed, or let's say 10-20. Then in a .CSV, you can modify the sig figs to something less, like 0-20.

But I want to say that if you save that .CSV file after the sig fig change, where you original converted it with 10-20 sig figs but then changed them to 0-20, the .CSV overwrites the data and you lose the sig figs that you concatenated.
