but I want people debating Gaza etc, not scared to say something that would violate the rules.
I wouldn't want my server to be the source of misinfo, but I also don't always know what is misinfo. journo outlets having their own servers with native AP articles that we could boost might help with this, cause then they are the source and can be debated.
fedi rules are tough imo. have whatever rules you want on your server, but only fediblock for harassment because that harms the network.
of course and I think one is happening, but some will say it's not but also that what Israel is doing is necessary. others will look at that as genocide justification etc.
a similar argument erupts around all policy: how bad that policy is and whether supporting it is hateful towards a group. using slurs is obvious harassment but so much else isn't.
I don't think Jewish people are lying when they say they FEEL that a lot of rhetoric re Israel is antisemitic, even factual statements.
if I say there is a genocide happening in Gaza (and I do) but somebody else on my server says it is not and that they support the IDF activities, should I consider that a violation of such a rule? I would rather continue to argue with them about it than kick them off etc. same with maybe every other topic.
if they are on my server and are just assholes re Palestinians or any other group, they need to go.
if somebody says posting the DEATH TO THE IDF video is antisemitic, what do we do?
@wjmaggos "if I say there is a genocide happening in Gaza (and I do) but somebody else on my server says it is not and that they support the IDF activities, should I consider that a violation of such a rule? "
No. That is genocide denial, not genocide justification. Justification is when people accept that a genocide is taking place, but they claim there's some reason that it is necessary.
"if somebody says posting the DEATH TO THE IDF video is antisemitic, what do we do?"
Is that relevant?
ok but my point is they are justifying the same shit, something I consider genocide.
it's kinda relevant imo because I think different people honestly think different things are hateful and should be unacceptable. and in my experience, it is criticism of Israel where the left tends to draw the line differently. we're generally quick to say that comments that upset other groups should not be tolerated, but I think we're different re comments re Israel that some Jews consider antisemitic.
Black People and anything connected with us is debated all over the world. Most people never discuss the rights of gay or disabled people whichis a bigger problem.
I'm pro Palestinian but you shouldn't have compared the suffering of one group to the suffering of other groups.
I'm muting you.
Do better.
@wjmaggos
> , not scared to say something that would violate the rules.
This is only ever typed by racists perhaps bc they're not welcomed on the international stage which the internet mostly is
My answer would be yes, but. Yes, but it's not entirely clear. We do have a prohibition on Holocaust denial, which is great, as well as promotion of violence, totalitarianism, and hateful imagery.

"With names like Investigative Case Management (ICM) and ImmigrationOS, the big data platforms Palantir provides for the Department of Homeland Security, and like those it offers the IDF, are fundamentally composed of four shared elements: the underlying data integrated into the system, the interpretation and modeling of that data through analytics, and the execution of automated actions – with or without human involvement. At every layer of this architecture, there are significant ethical questions regarding civil rights, data collection, data quality, bias, discrimination, accuracy, automation and, most importantly, accountability.
Ultimately, however, these platforms generate and track targets by exploiting a mind-boggling range of datasets. This can include deeply personal information such as biometric and medical data, social media data involving friends and family, precise location data derived from license plate readers, sim card data, and surveillance drone data. They can also process data purchased from a thriving ecosystem of private data brokers, or subpoenaed from companies such as Waymo and Meta. The lack of transparency regarding datasets exploited in these applications, and how they are shared across systems, further distorts the picture. That’s why it’s important to focus on the victims."

O vídeo apresenta uma série de ilustrações animadas que retratam a experiência de adultos neurodivergentes após quatro horas de socialização. Inicialmente, dois personagens, um verde e um azul, estão próximos, com o verde sorrindo e o azul com uma bateria verde quase cheia, simbolizando a energia inicial. A cena muda para o azul com uma bateria quase vazia, representando a exaustão. O verde, agora com uma expressão de exaustão, está em um cenário de desordem, com o azul em chamas, sugerindo um colapso. Em seguida, o azul está sentado à mesa com outros personagens, com pedaços de comida espalhados, indicando um desastre social. Por fim, o azul está deitado em uma cama, com um texto indicando que ele será totalmente carregado em três meses, sugerindo um longo período de recuperação. O texto "Neurodivergent adults after 4 hours of socializing" está presente em todas as cenas, e a marca "[@]THELANDOFRICES" aparece no canto inferior esquerdo.

How do we achieve degrowth?
"Orsagh wrote: “Degrowth is not going to come from the top. It will have to come from the grassroots, and that means people sharing these ideas, talking to other people, and slowly, over time building to a critical mass that those in power can’t ignore.” I believe that the best way to promote degrowth is by taking away barriers to voluntary family planning."

Denke bitte auch an die ersten beiden Regeln des BarCamps:
Regel 1: Du redest über das Barcamp
Teilnehmende sollen aktiv über das Barcamp sprechen, um die Veranstaltung bekannter zu machen und andere zu motivieren, teilzunehmen und sich zu engagieren. Die Idee ist, dass die Begeisterung und das Wissen über das Barcamp weiter verbreitet werden.
Regel 2: Du postest über das Barcamp
Teilnehmende sollen ihre Erfahrungen und Erkenntnisse in Blogs oder auf sozialen Medien teilen. Dadurch wird das Wissen weiter verbreitet, und es entsteht eine Dokumentation der Sessions und Diskussionen, die auch für diejenigen nützlich ist, die nicht teilnehmen konnten.
Es hilft sehr, wenn Du Beiträge zum Barcamp likest, teilst oder kommentierst. Wenn Du eigene Beiträge schreibst oder Videos dazu machst.
