I am an apostate, though I do live secretly as one. I live in constant fear, but for specific reasons that are often not seen. If you're also a muslim apostate, make sure to use seperate handles and emails for all your online accounts. In case musk sells one, the rest would still be safe.

  • I'm in agreement with this decision. But I don't share the reasoning and context behind the conclusions regarding free speech. I'm non-europe, so the slogan "from the river to the sea" doesn't strike me as an impression that calls for Hamas. I suppose german lawmakers often make contextual decisions centered around their own experiences. That explains their legal stance, and I don't agree with it. I do agree with the decision to avoid the wrath of law enforcement agencies. As I understand it, i think it is reasonable enough since I've had members of my community vanishing without a trace until this day.

    Throughout history, governments (WW2 and others) do commit atrocities and human rights violations. I think moderation teams allowing ample space for genocide documentation is good. As I understand it, other social medias such as Instagram don't allow genocide documentation at all. Granted, I think more should be done about it even in smaller communities like this. But that's besides the point, and I'm not an internet regular. And where real or digital spaces don't outright endorse "absolute free speech", I think spaces that allow specifics in their discourse is a good enough space to live in. After all, It is never ideal to let governments run fascist mode without accountability.

  • Moderation rulings are subjective. There are legitimate interests in free speech, even if the idea itself has no distinct and clear impressions. At best, he's only applying an inference. At worst, he's suppressing free speech that he doesn't like hearing.

  • Supposing that the mod is using the "german definition", there is still the issue of hosting an incredibly popular instance. In online places where a huge influx of non-german users live, I'd argue that it should be treated like a public place where free speech is granted. How am i supposed to understand the cultural realities of Germany if I live thousands of miles away from it? Am I supposed to tone down my right to free speech just because they've treated their subjective experience as a universal law?

    But I like that on Lemmy, I'm seeing diverse discussion on German/Austrian law. I don't get to see that on other prominent platforms, which tend to favor wikipedia-type discourse that often ends with american pop history/culture inferences.

  • are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?

  • Lemmy has a variety of fresh opinions, and I like how everyone has different experiences. For example, I hardly see a unified opinion on what people think of Gen-Xers, Millenials, Gen Z and Gen Alpha. They seem well-distributed and for the most part, there's less of those subtle reddit-style "generalizations" here. I typically look for internet spaces that emulate reality, and I think Lemmy does that well.

  • Muslim scholars issue 'fatwa' calling for 'jihad' against Israel as strikes pummel Gaza

    Jump

  • Muftis (and scholars) occupy a prominent position in Islam but their departments often sit within the state. They owe their existence to the state governments they're in. Even if this decree carries weight among muslim communities where fatwas are often studied to their minute detail, respective muslim governments ultimately have the final say on whether they're willing to adopt their decree. With leaders like MBS and others, I doubt there's real appetite for change even if the fatwa in question is in line with traditional islamic laws.

  • In an effort to be more positive amidst all the negativity and bad stuff going on right now, what are you looking forward to?

    Jump

  • Cultivating and making a new home in the Internet, away from all the usual noise. I selectively choose my sources, but some apps like Lemmy tend to do them automatically. I say to myself that I don't have infinite time and will only read reliable world updates. A new home takes time, but I think it'll pay off in the long run.

  • I wonder if the "money can't buy you happiness" people ever lived in a car.

    Jump

  • Yes. Financial independence would give ample time for me to escape abuse but alas, I'm trapped under family's false insights and paranoia.

    There's a clear up tick on daily users growing and we've crossed the 50k line as of yesterday! LETSSS GOOO!

  • Happy to be here! I'm looking forward to my new home in Lemmy!
