Yeah, fuck off you stupid rat
I know what lemmy is you dumbass.
If you didnt want that, you shouldnt be using a reddit clone.
Yeah, because things like the formatting of content and general site navigation are entirely irrelevant.
This is only true if you consider popularity to be the end-all determinant of quality content. Plenty of shit gets downvoted solely because people disagree with it.
Some instances have a fairly narrow set of communities, such that their local home feed is a desirable browsing experience
As someone who just uses an app to browse and thus has no stake in things, how much would doing this put onto the admins?
Well I mean yeah, but that's not going to happen. Hamas and their friends have a vested interest in making it look like they're just a bunch of victims.
I guess the reason I'm curious is because I find a lot of people (yourself not included) who more or less dismiss every source that backs up Israel's stance/actions as just being zionist propaganda or whatever, so I'm interested in what we (in a general sense) could find that would serve as a sort of common ground of facts, even if we don't agree on the more subjective side of things. Because yeah, there's always going to be people who just carry water for their "side" regardless of the facts, but i feel like a lot of the middle ground is getting pulled to the extremes by the narrative that nothing can be trusted.
To convince me that they are Hamas, and thus combatants and not civilians, needs more credible evidence, though.
So what? Hamas forfeited their position to complain about differing combatants and civilians when they chose to engage as irregular combatants. To that end, everyone who stays in combat areas when told to evacuate should be considered a combatant. But the nature of irregular combatants and warfare is probably just something we should agree to disagree on here.
In short, my problem isn't with what's being reported, but who is doing it.
I absolutely agree that a huge amount of reporting is less than honest. But my main question is then, who do you consider a viable source, if anyone, or what's your strategy for getting information you can trust, if you don't consider any sources to be up to snuff?
If not directly from their own mouths, is there literally anything that could convince you that these people support hamas?
Misinformation is not appreciated here or considered to be good faith discussion
