Dbzer0 is one of the biggest instances on the Fediverse. It’s not some fucking rando.

I'm not sure how that's relevant though, the admin is just another person with opinions but I'll concede it's a pretty big instance.

I still see HB and most of the .ml instances. It's not that hard to see shit takes and just acknowledge it's a shit take and move on.

The difference between the two is that the Palestinian genocide went ‘hot’ after Oct 7.

The biggest difference to me is my money isn't going to exterminate the Uyghur population of Chinese provinces the way it's being used to wipe Palestine off the map.

But sure let's go with implying that two horrible situations are the same because I can only think in black and white terms. Nuance and subtlety are irrelevant as long as I can get internet points or something.

... other than acknowledging someone openly having a shit take simping for genocide, what do you think is being done here?

What the ever-loving fuck does that have to do with simping for genocide being bad?
