Just as a little reality check for all Hamas “fans” (Hamas not Palestine!!) out here which are actually comparing them to Israel or openly defending them. The Hamas is founded on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which are a fairytale full of antisemitism and proven, false statements about Jews and how they are responsible for every bad thing that happens during the centuries and their diabolical plot for world domination (of course one of the favorite lecture of the Nazis)

Those idiots are really believing this fairytale and they use it to justify the murder of innocent people and Jews in general. So the next time you step in in defense of the Hamas or when you compare them to Israel, keep in mind that they are doing this because they believe in some antisemitic fairytale written by a crazy Russian back in the old days…they are basically Scientology only more degenerated and more violent.
You should also be asking the question–are Lemmy developers anti-semtic?
This whole situation has seriously caused me to reconsider a great many things about Lemmy. I can’t support lemmy, at all, if they are pro-murdering terrorist (Hamas, ISIS, et al). The lemmy.ml instance (run by the developers) has serious foundational issues and to me, I am wondering who it is that is writing this software, and who is paying them.
Just block lemmy.ml - who cares what the devs think. It’s an open source project.
It’s a problem for states that are supporting developers who are supporting terrorists.
If you were genuinely curious one of the devs has a massive manifesto. No need to speculate I’m pretty sure it covers every topic known to man.
I don’t recall seeing anything particularly antisemitic but I was honestly so dumbfounded I wouldn’t know where to start looking.
So I went back because I was curious. Again it is a fucking wild ride, I suggest yall search it out. I’m not gonna post it because I don’t wanna bring any unnecessary bandwagoning. But I searched for anti-semitism real quick and found this:
It proves absolutely nothing but it would be pretty weird to see the devs of lemmy cite anti-semitism as a reason Orwell was bad if they were also anti-semitic.
crazy, lemmy is dead to me after these posts. people need to know, it is unsupportable imo.
Bro stop crying. The devs don’t profit from this like a private company would. Don’t use their instance, spin up your own, the project is open source and bigger than them. Your political grandstanding means nothing.
can you elaborate on this? I wonder if the situation is any other on a platform like reddit so I suppose it’s the people not the platform
From what I saw, there was one developer spouting some abhorant things, talking about how all Israeli citizens were targets at this point. I haven’t seen anything else about other developers sharing these views though so I’m considering it an isolated nutter until we see more
Lemmy has a huge tankie problem and it becomes really apparent when a situation like this comes up
Why tankies/leftists think Palestine is in any way aligned with them is beyond me
yeah I see this now, kind of frightening
Lemmy.ml is run by the developers on lemmy, and if you look at the modlog, it looks like the lemmy developers deleted comments then banned a shit ton of people who were not virulently anti-Israel. It is pretty shocking to me, as the anti-Israel stuff remained. Who are the developers, and who is paying them?
Move to another instance. Done.
Okay, then go back to reddit then
pretty much
