Hey. I’ve gone to pro-palestine protests too. It’s illegal to support a terrorist organisation, not to support Palestine/Lebanon etc. those are two different things, cheers.

Just because I suppport the Palestinian people and their liberation does not mean I support Hamas. What’s illegal though is to publicly support one of these organisations. The law is tricky but basically either pushing for terrorist acts, or displaying designated terrorist symbolism, or provide support to a terrorist organisation. This all can be found here:

I like the ideas.

However, there are certain things, like the ‘88,’ that I think should be less strict. Instead of automatically banning someone who has ‘88’ in their username, it should be better to notify the admins to verify that the account is not Nazi.

There are several people with usernames like dragon_1988 because the person was born in 1988 and doesn’t know the Nazi symbolism.

the main reason is because the people who run lemmy.ml are actually the people whi created lemmy.

Also welcome.

[email protected] and [email protected] are useful for new users.

Also if you’re looking for an instance that has ML defederatrd but is still well federated with everything else I recommend lemmy.cafe

J’aime bien les idées.

Après il y a certaines choses, comme le “88” que je pense devraient être moins stricte. Au lieu d’autoban quelqu’un qui a 88 dans leur username, il faudrait plutôt notifier les admins pour verifier que le compte n’est pas Nazi.

Y’a plusieurs personnes avec des noms de profils genre dragon_1988 par ce que la personne est née en 1988 et ne connais pas la symbolique nazie.

I don’t wish for that either, but what I mean is I would have expected mods from other instances to be more weary of the potential legal issues.

Same. That’s what I mean by reusable bag.

I’ve completely blocked them and lemmy is still decent.

I would have thought there would be more concerns with then breaking US/AU or EU laws by there being content explicitly supporting designated terrorist organisations like hezbollah, which is illegal in most of the western world.

Lmao. You deserved that ban.

There is debate whether the human rights abuses against Uyghurs is genocide or not. But there is clear evidence of abhorrent abuses and genocidal tendencies.

So supporting terrorist organisations isn’t against australian law? Hamas is designated as a terrorist organisation and advocating for them is therefore banned under australian law.

On ML they remove any sort of nuance or anyone saying that Hamas is not perfect. Obviously I think the IDF is more to blame than Hamas, but ML moderators remove any sort of content that says that Hamas (to a lesser extent than the IDF) leads to great suffering of the palestinian people. And it’s full of people explicitly supporting Hamas.

As deserved. The pony handouts aren’t going to happen by themselves.

Do any of these alternatives have an ios app, because as soon as they do, I’m switching.

I can’t support an app developed by pro-russians.

dessalines is one of the two creators of lemmy.

Man whenever piefed gets an ios app I’m switching I don’t wanna support these assholes.
