No they did not. You are literally spreading misinformation.

You are allowed to criticise the leaders of israel, its not banned.

It is because their admins are in Germany and they fear the extreme repercussion that the German State has done recently. Did you even read the post you pasted? Are are you intentionally trying to stir up drama?

Not everyone lives in safety these days. Fascism has made it hard to do things like host a volunteer run online forum safely. There are cases where the heavily armed anti-terrorism unit SEK search peoples houses at gun point for this. Do you think online moderators should be required to catch a bullet for your posts?

This is an extremely important tool for moderating large forums, thank you for working on this! This is one of those mod tools that some people may need to enable large scale moderated federated forums!

Are you thinking of YaCy?

Great idea, im wondering myself, since it was a core goal of framasofts peertube to have donation integration or something similar, but it never happened. Hope someone is still working on it.

I am sceptical of the idea. If every post had a specific license, it would be a minefield to federate or host, because every post could potentially forbid sharing it, or have other stipulations.

Most posts and comments are not copyrightable anyway. A few sentences are not enough to count as a “creative work”. It would need to be your entire posting history, and even then its dubious if that counts as one work.

I propose instead that we do it like wikipedia and others, and that the server as a whole has a license.
