At least be consistent; you got annoyed when I pointed out that the articles you posted show that rape is absolutely not an Israeli government position. But this comment takes the opposite tack.
As you grow up, hopefully you’ll learn that reality is a thing and not just whatever suits the argument at hand.
Bye.
And to your larger point, you are welcome to create your own server or community and allow whomever to say whatever they’d like, regardless of how bigoted or incorrect they might be!
As many have said, this isn’t a fediverse problem, nor is it a suggestion to improve the fediverse, this is a you complaining about mods doing what the commubity expects of them.
Have a good night.
So if someone commits a crime, fair to accuse them of all crimes?
That part is still claiming you made a factual claim. And that part is still incorrect.
So, I noted that it is wildly inaccurate and far from a factual claim.
You can’t posit something reprehensible, a few paragraphs later decide you might be wrong and then be annoyed when people correct your original claim.
Well, you’re arguing that there’s some wider conspiracy etc. And in public discourse, ehhhhhh it’s more a very tricky line to walk.
But if you’re not talking in response to why this person has their comment removed, then it doesn’t seem particularly relevant.
It reminds me of when people are talking about the latest police killing of an unarmed Black man and a right winger comes in to talk about Black on Black violence statistics, not particularly relevant and it feels like they’re doing it to demonize the group in question.
You had multiple comments, I responded one at a time. In future, I’d just delete or edit the original. I’m not going to track down and check each thread you may have participated in etc.
Because I don’t think it’s cool to accuse the Israeli government of having a policy of rape? Jesus, get a grip kid.
You know, come to think of it, maybe if I think a group is doing things with which I disagree, I ought to be able to make up whatever other offenses too. It’s like when women who have abortions become racist and transphobic, which is why abortion should be prohibited. /s
Read the first paragraph of the first link you submitted “An Israeli Defense Forces officer who has been imprisoned since 2017 for multiple sexual offenses, including the rape of…”
In other words, the Israeli defence force arrested the guy for rape.
If you actually have news that indicates rape is a government policy, then post the article and see what happens.
But, one of the tried and tested approaches for right wing trolling is to lobby a whole bunch of accusations with some nonsense ina semi related thread and force everyone else to go and debunk them ad nauseum, it’s not particularly enjoyable and is exactly why we have moderators.
Read the comment again, closely. Arguing the Israeli government has a policy of rape is pretty gross.
Ehhh, accusing the Israeli government of having a policy of rape is pretty out there and kind of indistinguishable from general anti semitism. Fwiw, I’d have removed it too.
That’s a good point. The devs, mods and everyone needs time to brace for the next wave of reddit exiles! As one of the API refugees, I remember how rough those first couple of weeks were…
Seems like a reasonable guess!
Makes sense to me!
Sorry, dumb question but what the heck does Active users Halfyear mean? They’ve been on for a half year and are still active?
Now I’ve just got to make a dent in the hentai ones.
I getchya but also, you should see what happened to the “men die early” thread on twoX. It’s a LOT of guys complaining, kind of drowning out any women making points and throwing downvotes at them pretty hard.
It’s also an explicitly philanthropic venture with a noble mission about being the source of human knowledge.
I love our memes but they aren’t quite the same.
Wikipedia received almost 400k in 2005 and more than 1.5 million in donations by 2006.
For what it’s worth, a lot of instances are funding just like wikipedia did but if we want to expand with full-time devs, moderators etc (which is what I think we’ll need for long term sustainability) I just don’t think wikipedia’s success is a particularly reasonable comparison.
The Fedi could absolutely benefit from something like that!
I wonder if we could coordinate and plan a day/weekend (sometime when we expect a large number of users) where folks have memes about donating, encourages people to, devs tell us about their needs/plans etc…
At the same time and just to pump the brakes a little, I work in charitable giving and for at least our organization, while we do mass donor drives, those are mostly about engagement as the real money comes from high level donors. That being said, our potential donor population and strengths are probably very different.
Gotta love the “everyone I disagree with is a shill/bootlicker” playbook.
And my local mosque isn’t the sole representation for all Muslims, but if I falsely claimed they advocated rape, I’d be being pretty bigoted.
