I have started a new community on db0 called [email protected] . This is in response to the recent drama surrounding feddit’s Zionism problem.

    Or you could change instance. If your admins are this adamant about Zionism and stopping anti-zionist voices, why would you want to stay there?

    There are French instances like jlai.lu and tarte.nuage-libre.fr if you want to practice your French.

    This is the power of the Fediverse, we aren’t limited to one instance or set of administration policies.

      I could do that, and I may most likely will. I would be more enthusiastic about it however if I had actually personally encountered the issues as criticized.

      The users I interact with are normal people, the political differences I encounter are usually about the sensibility or implementation of certain policies, not about whether a genocide is happening in Gaza (which I find is undisputed, just to make my position clear).

      What I HAVE seen (in real life) is people being unsure about whether (or how) to speak out against the Israeli war machine because they are afraid of being branded racists, but that’s a German problem due to our history and people conflating anti-zionism with antisemitism, not one specific to the instance.

      I get what you’re saying and agree to some extent, but for local and language-specific instances in particular losing access to /local really does suck.
