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

    Jump
  • I find it extremely unreasonable that strictly anti-zionist grad is defederated, while feddit.org with its pro-zionist administration (not just some users) has to deal only with half-measures like defederation of a few communities. And i'm not advocating against defederation from grad (since this wasn't an arbitrary decision of db0 admins but the result of the governance vote), i'm advocating for total, instance level defederation from feddit.org.

  • After reading the original post, one might assume that the community in question is !asklemmy@lemmy.ml , but after checking the modlog it becomes clear that deal is about !asklemmy@lemmy.world

    Since there are no deleted comments in the modlog, there are two options: either .world moderators are now protecting all the .ml narratives and it's PTB then, or this comment was such low quality shitposting that is was unacceptable even by .world standards, and in this case it's clear YDI if not YDM.

  • A different comment, but still a clear example of the second:

  • The linked article is nothing more than incompetent, bad-faith fearmongering. It has already been debunked in this comment. Long story short: literally every request mentioned in this article is blocked by any ad blocker with default settings, which you should be using anyway.

  • Regarding the original comment, I don't believe it deserves deletion, let alone a lifetime ban. In my opinion, it was written in good faith and is in no way propaganda. As for the Crimethinc article, it's clearly not "imperialist propaganda" as well, but rather wishful thinking. If you read it carefully, you can easily conclude that there is no third "leftist" option for Iran, since the article fails to do the most important thing – name those "leftist orgs in Iran" that could have a real impact and that "need international solidarity now". When Iran truly could have taken a different path – in the late 1970s and early 1980s – there were many diverse leftist organizations, ranging from Tudeh to MEK, from Fadaiyan-e-Khalq to Sarbedaran, that waged open war against both the Shah's and the Ayatollahs' regimes. Nothing like that exists now, and the Crimethinc article actually confirms this, regardless of the authors' intentions. So, in modern Iran, there is nothing but a few left-leaning individuals with very limited ability to influence anything, and the choice is only between a brutal theocracy and a Trump-loving shahzadeh.

  • It's difficult to discuss PTB here, because after a quick glance at the community in question, you'll easily find that it's not a place for discussing Ukrainian affairs, but simply a propaganda cesspool dedicated to parroting certain talking points. Therefore, I have no idea why you expected a different outcome.

    On the other hand, it's quite interesting to note that, while it's obvious to everyone that you don't need to have any sympathy for Maduro to condemn Trump's actions, any opposition to Putin's actions is magically inseparable from efforts to whitewash nazi crap.

  • For example, here’s a few pictures of a Russian nationalist march:

    Not discussing all other points of the comment, but quick Google search is enough to find out that these photos were taken on November 4, 2013. To better understand their significance as an argument, it's worth adding that Viktor Yanukovych was the president of Ukraine on that day.

  • That's PTB from the feddit.org admins exactly in the vein of .ml style of calling "misinformation" everything that contradicts their favorite narrative tropes

  • House of Commons calls on Keir Starmer to condemn Donald Trump’s ‘interference’ in European politics

    That's pure comedy gold.

    The House of Commons seems to have never had a problem interfering in the politics of other countries. For example, in Georgia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doKuOlpffdU

  • 50% YDI / 50% PTB

    YDI as it's not a meme, and this is clear violation of community rules.

    PTB for making up arbitrary reason for a ban.

    MBFC Credibility Rating: LOW CREDIBILITY

    Failed Fact Checks: 6 articles on Voice of America and 1 article on Newsweek

    "RT is a propagandistic outlet funded by the Russian government. This is true because it is claimed by a propagandistic outlet funded by the US government"

    Regardless of credibility of RT, MBFC is ROFL

  • You can find the answer to your question on this graph in dynamics over 15 years, which reflects survey by the same Levada Center with question "Which political system do you prefer?"

    Red stands for Soviet one, orange is "current one", blue is Western democracy, black is no responce and gray is hard to say.

  • MBFC is ROFL, even when everything is clear, they publish some slop bordering on conspiracy theories.

    If we click on the first link, we'll see that New Eastern Outlook is listed as a periodical of The Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences on the website of said institution.

    It looks like:

    The Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences: New Eastern Outlook is our periodical.

    MBFC: Ownership information is not transparent!! You share the same adress!! That must mean something!!

  • regurgitating Russian media sources.

    You're in the world news community, the world is not limited to Western countries or Western media.

  • I use telegram bot @GlomaticoPinkMusicBot , it allows to download entire albums without apple music subscription

  • I had gotten 100+ without port forwarding. Port forwarding is overrated, seeding time and popularity of torrent is what really matters.

  • And Russia's veto in the UN Security Council has helped undermine the enforcement of sanctions imposed on North Korea. The most astonishing thing is that, in terms of profit/loss, friendship with Russia has proven to be much more beneficial for North Korea than friendship with the US/EU has been for Ukraine.
