Blocking is just shoving your head in the sand

I already wrote my thoughts here about this, so I'm not going to re write everything.

I am very much aware about those instances.

What it actually shows, is that neither of you have taken the time to understand why those instances are hated. You're just following the trend without knowing why

what about new users who don't know any better?

What about them? They can find out just like any other users have. Hopefully, those new users might do more research on them than you

Not very fair to them to be instantly subjected to that fire hose and is a bad look as a whole.

It's exactly as bad of a look as any other instance in here. There are trolls everywhere, and you pretending that they're only there is an outstanding simplification.

You think there aren't any bigots on .world? What would those poor new users think of .world when they see a racist bigot?

Do you like/care for politics?

You could literally just go to their community and have a look for yourself too and decide whether or not it's your vibe

Just cleaning up after your whitewashing

What crimes exactly has any of those communities committed? I must have missed those posts.

Also...I admitted some views can be extreme/incorrect. I never said they are the perfect instance. None is. And that's not how you use that term by the way, my friend

Their community is just a bunch of trolls like you said

That's not what I said :) you are very obviously misquoting my comments

I'm glad the instance I use block overtly toxic ones

Neat. Good for you then, that's the beauty of the fediverse

Sorry this is not true.

It is true. That's MY experience with them

They are very aggressive and attack every viewpoint harshly

And? I do too when I'm heated about a topic. If your viewpoint is to defend fascism, why not attack it? And I'm not talking specifically about you here. But if we're debating, I expect someone to bring a good debate.

The reason instances ban them is they are not here for the conversation

Sorry this is not true.

And I already gave my explanation as to why in my original comment.

Nothing good comes from that community, only confrontation

So just like your comment? Lol jokes aside, I already addressed everything you said before. But I'm happy you were able to disagree and get it out of your system. I've noticed a lot of Lemmy users have this weird obsession with those instances, when in reality they are just instances. They have both shitty and normal users. It's always more nuanced than that.

I'll post my (edited) comment again for all to see since the mods thought it was too uncivil in its previous version.

I think the people of Palestine should implement a state like Kurdistan and abandon their ties with Hamas

And how exactly are they supposed to do any of that while being bombed? Or while Israel doesn't allow them to leave their internment areas? Or while dismissing any ceasefire proposal? What you're saying is impossible because Israel doesn't want it to happen. And I find gross how in all of this you keep putting the blame on Hamas instead of Israel, the one with the money, power and influence in all of this

I support Hamas as much as I support any government who kills innocents in the name of jihad or any other "struggle"

So to you being the victims of a genocide is just another "struggle". Thanks for making clear to us the kind of person you are. You're definitely not the victim of Zionist propaganda /s. But sarcasm aside, I’ll stop interacting with you now. There is only so much victim-blaming I can stomach in a day

[–] gravityowl@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Are you aware that Hamas is the only reason people in Palestine have water and electricity?

I’ll say it again, you're just using Zionist talking points. And it takes a special kind of entitled person to tell a group of people being ethnically cleansed how they should act and how they should be "mOrE pEacEfUl" while being the victims of genocide

What do hamas think of women?

What does Israel think of all the women they raped and killed then? And what does it think of children too, since they killed more children then any other country in 2024?

Gtfo with your Zionist talking points

I remember reading somewhere that one of the possible reasons for that feeling might be because of the change in times.

As in, when we go to work, we usually have to wake up early and then have our routine during the rest of the day. But on holidays/during the weekend, we tend not to follow any schedules. And then after getting used to waking up whenever we want (or later than usual), we get cranky because our body is (forced to get) used to our working schedule.

So a solution might be go to bed at times that aren't too different from your usual times during your working days.

Basically, some consistency with your sleep might help.

And please don't tell me "just change jobs".

Fair. Can I then suggest a social and political revolution to change the current system in which we have to waste our lives working for rich fucks who don't care about us?

Jeez, I wonder what could be done in this very specific instance where a billionaire, who has very much openly aligned himself with fascism, has also tried to influence foreign elections and subvert entire countries' democratic processes by leveraging his immense capital to buy and poison a massive "public" platform. We should definitely leave things as they are and let him use his platform however he wants to spread more lies. Surely just talking more about what could potentially be done about it will help! Maybe we could even write him a letter to ask for his input? No reason to, you know, take actual measures to tackle all (or even some) of this and face the serious and life-threatening challenges we face as a specie. Let's keep chatting more and more about nothing while, as always, the fascists keep dismantling the few safeguards we have and our planet keeps burning because we don't want to shake the boat too much.

Obvious sarcasm aside, what would you do? Talking is great when you have the time to do so, and when, more importantly, you have people genuinely willing to have a conversation and find a middle ground. They told us multiple times they are not willing
