A few of our users have recently pointed out that a lot of the pro-Zionist accounts on the fediverse nowadays seem to come from the feddit.org instance.

But whatever the excuse happens to be, they need to do better imo. Israel is currently the most violent, fascist and genocidal nation state in the Middle East (if you exclude the US military bases there). And yet feddit.org seems to regard the Palestinians fighting against Israel’s ongoing illegal occupation of their land as the real terrorists. ....

More context

Our instance already voted to ban pro-Zionist accounts (see https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/60585441 for reference) and the rule that was implemented is here: Golden Rule #8.

As further context, you can find relevant comments and discussion in this post by a banned feddit admin in MoG (that fact they chose to post in MoG is in itself quite telling), and this post about their defederation from quokk.au over anti-semitism allegations has recently become active again. ...

Note 2: If you think feddit.org deserves a full instance ban instead, or have alternative suggestions, then please leave your comments below. If enough people think that’s the better option, then we’ll do that instead.

In the end the Post had around 70% of support by dbzer0 users, who in the comments also called for defederation.

Here is a Link to Dbzer0 instances tab https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/instances where if you go to blocked instances you can see fedddit.org is now defederated

i dont think feddit has made a post now, but when they do i will add it

lemmy.ml has multiple posts today about how everyone who disagrees with them is nazi or pedophiles.

such 'open-minded' types they are.

When I was new to Lemmy, I wanted to get memes, and the migration tool suggested the memes on lemmy.ml. It didn't take long before my first comment disagreeing with some tankie over USSR and chinese communism got removed for "Civility". It was a normal, non-insulting comment in expectance of a normal conversation.
You cannot criticise China's treatment of the Uyghurs without getting your comments removed and almost everyone with a .ml-account I've encountered denied the crimea and genocides of USSR, the Russian Federation and China, and this denial is enforced by mods and admins.
I'm really wondering what db0-admins think about defeserating lemmy.ml though.

Oh, yeah, "They removed my comment where I'm just an asshole and telling people to kill themselves, they are such zionists 😭"

The fuck is wrong with you guys?

I think a poll or just reporting, blocking, and ignoring them would be better than "leave your comments below". I'm exhausted and confused just trying to decipher them.
