    As a largely unengaged Lemmy lurker, y’all need to take a chill pill, this feels like an excerpt of the red scare. Picking a fight with the anarchist techies because one dude has an opinion that’s not even unhinged, about something that most of us here cant even talk about with any certainty…come on.

    This whole thing is actually overblown and misrepresented.

      Picking a fight with the anarchist techies because one dude has an opinion

      The ‘one dude’ is an admin.

      that’s not even unhinged,

      … downplaying the Uyghur genocide isn’t unhinged?

        The ‘one dude’ is an admin.

        Of a lemmy server, there’s no requirements to spin up an instance. Admin just means “person with the time.”

        downplaying the Uyghur genocide isn’t unhinged

        Comparing the cultural erasure/washing happening in Xianjing to what’s happening in Palestine is a tad disingenuous at best.

          Dbzer0 is one of the biggest instances on the Fediverse. It’s not some fucking rando. And even if it was, how the ever-loving fuck would that justify genocide denial?

          The difference between the two is that the Palestinian genocide went ‘hot’ after Oct 7. But sure, let’s go with implying that it’s not a real genocide, and saying it’s overblown and misrepresented by ‘the West’.

            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?

            Israel has been restricting access to food, water, and electricity in Gaza for many years. Long before Oct 7. Palestinians have been living in an open air prison for a long time. The IDF responds to peaceful protest by seeing how many kneecaps they can snipe. Settlers routinely descend on villages and just start burning shit to the ground. So no, it didn’t go “hot” after Oct 7th. You should really educate yourself on the subjects you’re talking about.

              What the ever-loving fuck do you think Xinjiang is

              So no, it didn’t go “hot” after Oct 7th.

              Oh, my mistake, the current phase of the Palestinian genocide is completely indistinguishable in intensity from the prior phases of the Palestinian genocide, you’re absolutely right. /s

              You should really educate yourself on the subjects you’re talking about.

              How fucking ironic.
