That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it’s the nature of life to be hazardous—it’s the stuff of living.
Fair point.
I still don’t think the Feddit administration (in the broad sense of the word) is Zionist, but I will admit that I could be wrong.
For what it’s worth I’ve always leaned on the side of the Palestinians, even before the russians invaded in 2014. I just think some caution is needed with using the term Zionist (especially when there is a solid chance of changing their views).
Unless these are new threads, I believe I’ve read through them.
I am not convinced they are Zionist or whitewashing Israeli genocide (in the manner of tankie degenerates).
I genuinely believe that it benefits no one to casually label people zionists.
I will give you an example from my native country, Ukraine. After Hamas went on their stupid rampage, a lot of Ukrainians supported Israel (I don’t understand this since the Israeli government is largely pro-russian). People even equated Hamas with the russians (e.g. mass organized killings of civilians).
That being said, once they saw what Israel did in Gaza, many (not all) started taking a more critical look at their support for Israel.
I am just saying, it’s not good to label people when their views can be flexible and are sometimes driven by ignorance.
Is that true though? Is it really a Zionist server?
There are a lot of people who vaguely lean pro-Israel (but may be revaluating their position in light of recent news), who cannot be called Zionist.
I just think words matter and one shouldn’t debase the meaning of the world Zionists.
Fair point. :)
The only reason I mentioned this is I have multiple family members who have by this point learned how to stream via bittorrent and how to use rutracker.
Why not just use something like rutracker.org ?
All the netflix releases are on there and vast majority of them can be streamed via bit torrent. Just select language defaults in your media player and you’re good to go.
I would have never thought of that linguistic flow. :)
What does seppo mean and in which language? It doesn’t mean anything in the languages I know.
I don’t think it’s strange that a post like the one in your OP would be top (in terms of comments) for the year, with or without deleted comments.
Doesn’t unreasonable.
Considering the topic and that the Threadiverse has about 50K MAU, why do you think 5K comments is unreasonable?
Hell no, why would anyone sane give money to tankie scum like the Lemmy devs?
You are better off donating to World or the Piefed developers.
I follow several content creators based on this instance:
It seems nice enough and functional.
Yeah, it’s pretty small, but it had a few tech communities that were neat.
minnix.dev seems to have been abandoned:
Admin hasn’t posted in 5 months and images aren’t working for me.
Got to admit, this is extremely annoying with the threadiverse, especially in context of people pushing for decentralization too much.
I am all for decentralization, but you need a functional, long-term foundation first.
Ah, Ok!
Thanks for the clarification!
And what if you don’t want to use crypto.
I guess we are sort of on the same page then. :)
I have no issues with LW (and most other instance). I mod/curate multiple communities on LW.
I definitely do not intend to “run down” LW (if I am understanding the meaning of “run down” correctly).
Definitely. I’ve been on the Threadiverse for a while now.
The problem is that ML is such a prominent instance and the lead devs are degenerate tankies.
And I don’t use the word degenerate lightly or as a generic insult.
Claiming (without irony) that North Korea is good place to live and their political system has been discredited by a vast capitalist conspiracy led by the BIA is a sign of true degeneracy. It doesn’t even matter if they are engaging in demagoguery or not.
I have a Raspberry Pi 4B. Clients can directly play the media without any need for realtime transcoding. I could 4K transcoding being challenging for older Raspberry Pi SBCs.
I would say the test of public discourse should have limits. For example “North Korea is a great place to live and their regime is a vanguard against western imperialism” should not be treated as spam/trolling. I would argue the same for “genocide of russian speakers in Donbas”.
But I digress. You are right in that we must have the opportunity to state facts about Gaza even if it means damning outcomes for the Israeli polity (i.e. factual recognition that Israel is a genocidal settler colonialiat state).
