Anyone, who doesn’t tread the „destroy Israel“ party line gets banned from [email protected]
Edit: although people here hate Israel and different opinions with a passion, nobody could cite the actual rule I broke.
Okay… first of all, opposition to the Israeli actions in Palestine is not equivalent to antisemitism. That’s just a fact.
People who are antisemitic are definitely going to take that position, but most people take that position for completely different reasons.
Secondly, the growth of the platform will inherently change the nature of the discourse. If we get tens of thousands more users over here, the conversation will change drastically. That’s why starting from a position that challenges the dominant mainstream discourse is an advantage for Lemmy, because that position is guaranteed to be diluted as we grow.
Obviously not. Demonization, delegitimization, and calling for the destruction of the only Jewish state is antisemitic though.
