One thing I can agree, the censorship and repression has nothing to do with China. The article erroneously uses the term “Semitic” btw and many of the students I was referring to are Jewish. This says nothing new. Just opinions, which are not facts. It’s no conspiracty theory that Meta’s board has many former Israeli intelligence agents on it since you’ve mentioned them. Perhaps you should do a bit more research. And so on.

It’s behind a paywall so I can’t read it. I never said “the Jews” were taking it away. I mentioned one group that is a known lobbiest group with examples. I love Jewish people and the ADL and does not speak for all of them in any way. This is the “weaponization” I’m referring to . You are free to disagree but it’s just lazy logic to call it a “conspiracy theory” just because you do.

He and others in the ADL weaponized accusations of antisemitism to shut down pro Palestine speech as much as they possibly could. I live a town away from Harvard University and he was seen meeting with Harvard administration often and preceding every act of repression against student activists including immediately before they shut down their encampment and prevented student activists from graduating instead of listening to them.

When a lobbiest says they want a platform shut down and then it eventually gets shut down it’s hard for me to dismiss that as mere coincidence. Given their influence on platforms like Meta, who wants to avoid an FTC investigation, I’m just not surprised. Any corporate platform’s primary goal is profit.

It’s no secret that Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL was recorded and heard by many saying “We don’t have a left / right problem. We have a young / old problem. We have a TikTok problem” It’s pretty clear that TikTok finally caved in to the ADL’s demands, just like other centralized social media companies.

Thanks. I didn’t miss that even if not every detail isn’t included.

At least he gets to die in freedom.

And that’s the most important part of all. The past can’t be changed but after all the campaigns and marches and rallies he’s finally heading home. I’m sure your Lemmy post helped, too.

That response is unwarranted especiallly as I took time to thoughtfully give you feedback and advice. Emotional intelligence is important on Lemmy and you are clearly lacking by not following its very basic code of conduct. Good luck.

While the articles may not be spam you are flooding the feeds of users who subscribe to mutual communities by posting 6 times in one community in a minute, therefore pushing posts in other communities way down in users’ feeds. I appreciate your passion and the information you share but it may make a better experience for others if you spread your posts apart a bit. I have been on Lemmy for over 2 years and moderate a few communities so you can take this feedback or leave it. Getting blocked by other users probably isn’t your desired result especially when you have good information to share. Calling people “sad” will definitely lead to getting blocked or banned from communities which I doubt is your desired result.

I’m on a small pixelfed instance as well and the global feed can be useful for discovering users on other pixelfed instances and also for viewing mastodon posts with pictures. Similar to mastodon it will expand as you follow more people so keep an eye on it and maybe use your mastodon account to find more photographers using hashtags like #photography. Your discover page should show photos under trending hashtags as well so check for that and use search under hashtags. It does show local trending photos accounts at the moment, you’re correct. Dansup, the pixelfed developer, says in the next update for the beta app which is shipping soon and going public soon, the discover page will be expanding to show trending users and photos from across the fediverse.
