Kbin needs to be aware of the community first, so my first link didn't work properly because of that. After interacting with the community once the [!community@example.com](/c/community@example.com) format works just fine. :)
I subscribed from Kbin.social now, so future posts should be visible from there. :)
On the contrary, a bunch of scattered communities create one large user base. The people you see in this thread all come from a bunch of different websites and services. You'll see users from startrek.website discussing woodworking in communities hosted by lemmy.ca.
There's a flip side to everything of course:
It is a little more inconvenient if your server dies, but other servers survive.
Assuming the server is going to die, it's arguably more convenient on the Fediverse as most communities won't die with it. If Reddit disappears the entire site will be gone; if lemmy.world dies the Threadiverse will continue on without too much trouble.
It is a little more inconvenient if your server blocks other servers and you don’t agree with the reasons why.
That's true, but the added convenience is that you can join a server where you agree with moderating decisions. Content moderation is not one size fits all; at least on the Fediverse it's theoretically possible for everyone to end up on a server they're happy with.
One thing I like about Romania is that it seems to be steadily improving the last 30 years or so. Granted, it had a terrible starting point, and improvements are slow as hell, but whenever I check up on them things never seem to be actively getting much worse.
I guess the French are happy that Macron has given them enough things to be dissatisfied about.
This is such a big factor. Good luck forcing a Finn to complain about literally anything.
Don't forget the dragon!
I think it's not so difficult to understand the appeal, of course for those deeply religious who long back to Zion, but also to those who just long for a home country. I know old secular Jews who, before all this bullshit, was considering moving to Tel Aviv for their retirement because it felt more like home to them then the US, despite being American all their lives and despite being politically progressive and very much not on the Bibi side of things.
It's a complicated situation now - on one hand I think it's crucial that Jews should not feel the need to be apologetic or to constantly have to emphasize that they don't represent a government they have nothing to do with. If that becomes the standard we're already lost. On the other hand, people might need to hear it in order to understand Netanyahu is not some supreme leader of the unified Jews of the world, as too many people seem eager to believe.
I have to admit I've had this approach taking to Israelites for a while - I never felt comfortable in a conversation before having some sort of an indication of their political leaning. Israelites seem to often have a way of talking about things without talking about things, which usually makes it clear pretty quickly where they stand. I guess they also often feel a need to place themselves.
As for Jewish people living outside of Israel, I think the fact that they've all had a standing invitation to move to Israel and opted not to make use of it speaks for itself. Sure there are Bibi supporters, but that goes for Christians as well.
Still I see where you're coming from of course. And I find it freaking terrifying to be honest.
You should just need to write
[!harrypotter@literature.cafe](/c/harrypotter@literature.cafe)in the comment box, and the link is generated automatically. Should work in both Lemmy and kbin at least, not sure about mbin but would make sense that it works there as well. :)
