@fabio * “A genocide-friendly server from Germany”

There, fixed it for you.

@fabio I think it’s time to have a list of Zionist, pro-genocide Mastodon servers on Gaza Verified, just like we have a list of servers friendly to Palestinians suffering through genocide, ethnic cleansing, apartheid, and settler colonialism so our friends in Gaza – and anyone with even a sliver of a conscience – can know which parts of the fediverse to avoid.

I’ll add that to my endless todo list, then, shall I?

#israel #zionism #genocide #ethnicCleansing #apartheid #settlerColonialsm #Gaza #Palestine #mastodon #fediverse #complicity

Wow, man, imagine being the kind of person that suspends anyone he sees from Gaza during a genocide.

The inhumanity of some Germans is really quite remarkable. Didn’t you get enough of genocide the first time around?

Add social.tchncs.de to the list of Zionist, pro-genocide Mastodon servers.

@potatoes_fall It’s not a credible definition of the word but it is a *legally accepted* one in certain jurisdictions and it is essential that we know what is meant – in this specific context – by a term that is so widely and so willfully misunderstood so we understand what exactly the effects of this initiative will be and whether we should be in support of it or in opposition to it.

@Mastodon This is a link to the server covenant:

One important question – and one we’ve discussed together – is which definition of antisemitism are you going with? I’d appreciate it if you could state the decision you’ve reached on this publicly. Crucially, is it one that conflates opposition to Zionism, Israel, and the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people with being bigoted against Jewish people or not? This is key in knowing whether only Zionist, pro-Israel, pro-genocide Mastodon servers will be featured in recommendations or not.

@jonah VPN ban -> Ah, people can install WireGuard on a Hetzner droplet -> mandatory age verification for web hosting, etc., etc., ad infinitum.

This is an essential read from @pluralistic – well worth your time to understand the points he’s making fully as he’s spot on and the excellent analogies will make it easier for you to discuss the topic with others.

I am so happy to have helped in saving TikTok! It will now be owned by a group of Great American Patriots and Investors, the Biggest in the World, and will be an important Voice. Along with other factors, it was responsible for my doing so well with the Youth Vote in the 2024 Presidential Election. I only hope that long into the future I will be remembered by those who use and love TikTok. Thank you to Vice President JD Vance, and all of the others within my Administration, who helped bring this Deal to a very dramatic, final, and beautiful conclusion. I would also like to thank President Xi, of China, for working with us and, ultimately, approving the Deal.
He could have gone the other way, but didn't, and is appreciated for his decision. PRESIDENT DONALD J.

A talk I gave six years ago that I’d highly urge you to watch. Still entirely relevant today, if not more so (sadly).

(What I call the Indienet in the talk is what I now call the Small Web; a peer-to-peer Web owned and controlled by people not corporations or governments.)
