New Lemmy Drama: "Feddit.org officially announces they will ban criticism of Israel and pro-Palestinian posts and comments."

I find this morally reprehensible. I have always spoken against defederazation when others have mentioned it. This is too much. Apologies if this upsets anyone.

Palestinians are human beings and have a right to life.

Edit: I have been persuaded by some thoughtful replies. I will block them from my view. I no longer support making the decision for others. Thanks all.

Banning certain actions and defederation; both are censorship and also patronization. I am against any form of censorship. There are very few exceptions, mainly malicious actions, which need to be banned to protect your users.

We all have the choice to hide certain terms, communities or servers. A much better way is to get confronted by it and actively protest to this kind of censorship. Share your views, your opinions in a non-offending way. Give the others the chance to get educated. If it fails, move on and enjoy your life somewhere else.

I know, my views are quite unpopular. But they are mine. Feel free to block me at any time.

if you gotta make your opinion non-offending to a zionist, then you're already a piece of shit. might as well just embrace the genocide at that point, because you aren't changing the minds of people literally engaged in genocide by killing them with kindness.

So if I don’t insult others, I automatically agree with them? That’s not how debates work. And this is going to escalate the situation further, which helps no one, but your own ego.

If you’re pandering to people who commit genocide, then you’re a shitty person. You should absolutely be insulting them. The only thing people who murder innocents deserve is a bullet to the head, and an unmarked grave. They sure as fuck don’t deserve sweet words and an attempt to understand them.

They’re fucking as bad as nazis.

If in a table there are 11 people sitting with a nazi, in that table there are 12 nazis.

I fully agree, which is why I said you need to actively protest. If you stay quiet, you are part of the problem. Censoring is equal to staying quiet. The problem does not go away by staying quiet.
