What makes it different from just blocking the instance at user-level?

Defederating also blocks the users on Lemmy. Instance blocking at the user level just blocks the communities in Lemmy, you have to block each user individually.

First: your comment appears to be a reply to them not me. I think that's where the confusion came from.

Second: You seem to be conflating listening to ideas with supporting them.

Third: Blocking places with bad ideas doesn't silence the people there or eliminate their ideas. It contributes to their isolation and echo chamber. Often more then yours. You in fact end up helping make them worse. Which of course is worse for everyone.

Well I don't think that's very effective either but if we can't have a discussion then we'll just have to disagree.

Well there are many examples but yes.

Guilt by association is still stupid even if you come up with a different analogy for it.

Man you really beat the fuck out of that strawman.

I get what your saying on an institutional level

Yeah. Is what it is. I don't think feddit is some kind of zionist propaganda machine, although its clear that it hosts plenty of zionists. I'd rather berate, abuse, mock, and contest them in the comments. I have enough respect for the youth to trust their judgement.

You should read up on the position of germany before making dumb posts like this https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/en/aussenpolitik/regionaleschwerpunkte/nahermittlererosten/middleeastconflict-228366

I don't see a reason why you should. It's not like the vote didn't happen for good reason. There's no good reason to speak to genocide apologists.

Bruh is so desperate for me to say something I didn't. Bruh go find one of your op friends to fight with.

It’s worked before. If only we’d had more premature antifascists, we might have nipped it in the bud before it enveloped most of Europe and China.

I can't think of any "leftist organisations" that support Zionism ? Maybe you're confusing fascist with leftist ?

Uh oh, if .ml is defending them db0 really is a lost cause.

Edit: Holy tankie brigade, Batman! They've really crawled out of the woodwork for this one!

Supporting an supermasist colonial ideology should have no place in the fediverse

I am not an ml user and I still defend db0. Now what?

Second: You seem to be conflating listening to ideas with supporting them.

We’ve already heard more than enough Zionist & fascist ideas.

Third: Blocking places with bad ideas doesn’t silence the people there or eliminate their ideas. It contributes to their isolation and echo chamber. Often more then yours. You in fact end up helping make them worse. Which of course is worse for everyone.

This echo chamber obsession is silly.

• The echo chamber is overstated: the moderating effect of political interest and diverse media
• Masses, Elites, and Rebels: The Theory of “Brainwashing”

 
Online discourse isn’t going to defeat fascism. Fascism isn’t an ideology. It’s capitalist crisis management. It’s capitalism in decay.

Once more let me remind you what fascism is. It need not wear a brown shirt or a green shirt – it may even wear a dress shirt. Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power of exploitation and special privilege.
— Tommy Douglas

Depends completely on the impacts of that decision. Zionism is the predominant viewpoint in my country, so if I were to refuse to ever be around them, I would be a complete shut in, which would be counter-productive to my larger political goals. Which include defeating Zionism.

But I don't believe it's true that this instance is full of zionists/nazis. The accusation seems to be that there are some users on it who are zionists.

Thry send weapons to israel to maintain the occupation and continue the genocide

Like people do with thr ml users?

What worked was the might of a multiple empires waging total war against one another. I don't think any Lemmings have that power at their disposal.

Of course this only worked after tens of millions of deaths, so it wasn't exactly the ideal solution even then.

1. Thank you for the shout out Salamence.
2. You have made it easier to find Fascists to block🤝

We tried they still defending the terrorist statr of Israel. It's like debating neonazis it is useless

Bruh is literally the "I have depicted you as soyjack" meme in real life.

Also, aren't you like an 8 day old sockpuppet? get on your main fam.

Exactly. That's why I don't support db0.

Yeah I would agree with that. However there are a number of ml users who are very deserving of that treatment based on their individual behavior. But insofar as that's used against other random users on the same instance it's probably not appropriate.

Db0 do not support zionism the supermasist ideology that resulted the occupation of Palestine

However there are a number of ml users who are very deserving of that treatment based on their individual behavior

Same with feddit.org users

I'm actually a Hexbear user. This is my alt.

db0's leadership are libertarians cosplaying as anarchists the way ML's are fascists that cosplay as socialists/communists. They are anti-Zionist in this moment. But they still have shown sympathy for other authoritarian regimes and are very pro-AI.

I mean, if you're just gonna take their word that Feddit is a Zionist bar, you might wanna block MeanwhileonGrad, which they claim to be a nazi bar because it catalogues all the stupid shit they do.

Because the ml instances support zionism..?

glad to be of service

I think we found Kolanaki’s sockpuppet.

What do we think chat?

Now I need the full emoji-pack of this catgirl.

db0’s leadership are libertarians cosplaying as anarchists the way ML’s are fascists that cosplay as socialists/communists.

Me when I just say random shit:

here is it https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lemmy-emojis/

mmmm, so I still need to scrape&🪞. ᚦks🙇‍♀️

Before Lemmy, I didn't know it was possible to go so left that you hated liberals.

That's pretty weak and other instances shouldn't look up to them for this.

Let people say, and see, what they want.

Corporate media didn’t want you to be exposed to any ideas outside of the Overton window.

I don't get it. Huh? I find sentiment on .ml extremely anti-Zionist.

People are going to assume this is a joke, lmao.

What they said is completely accurate.

Yay anarchists! 👍
Boo zionists! 👎

Yeah to clarify, I wasn't joking. Hexbear is my main instance.
