Feddit post in support of zionism 
Hi.
In the past few days, discontent regarding mod decisions in this community has been brewing, particularly when it comes to comments on Palestine, Israel, and Israeli politics and actions. There are also misunderstandings regarding mod intention and German law. We hope to clear that up with this post.
While the servers of feddit.org are in Austria, most of the mods of this community as well as admins of this server live in Germany. Speaking of, our server admins have also posted a write-up on the same topic.
And with that, let’s go:
In Germany, antisemitism is specifically sanctioned in German criminal law, both for speech and as a motivation for other criminal behavior. In addition, Germany seeks to protect the Jewish state of Israel (the so-called “Reason of State” introduced in 2008) and thus verges toward protecting Zionism as well. Certain criticism of Israel/Israelis is also categorized as “Israel-related antisemitism”.
Since criminal law is involved, enforcement can mean things like police raids and device confiscations. After such police action, it does not really matter if it was appropriate or if cases are dropped or never charged: The damage is done. All told, it’s not that fun.
There is also no point in engaging in discussions about the veracity of statements that could get us into legal trouble. In addition, we believe that you can express most opinions without breaking rules.
Another post about they are totally not Zionazis 
Hello all,
in the last few days there have been some accusations against the moderators of [email protected] as well as against our admin team of being Nazis or Zionists, mainly because of the way of dealing with criticism of Israel.
We explicitly reject these accusations and will not tolerate such accusations. In particular, people who accuse others in this way without any concrete objective reason are not welcome on feddit.org. This is already covered by our rule of respectful interaction.
First of all, we would like to remind you, that the use of feddit.org must be compliant with the rights and regulations of the DACH region. This is explicitly mentioned in our instance rules, and includes Germany (D), Austria (A) and Switzerland (CH). The infrastructure of feddit.org is maintaind by the Fediverse Foundation, a non-profit association in Austria. Our Admin team, which takes care of the instance wide moderation, organization and supporting infrastructure operations, is based in Germany. Since we primarily target the German speaking coutries, we also try to comply with laws and regulations of Switzerland.
Even if we do not have to actively search for violations of the law, it is necessary to intervene after becoming aware of them. This includes, for example when moderators or admins receive messages about posts or comments, but also when such content is discovered by chance when browsing Lemmy.
In this instance, we fully support the moderators of [email protected] to potentially remove too much rather than too little in case of legal uncertainties.
One of the triggers for the current debate is this post, which followed the removal of a comment comparing National Socialism with the current situation in Israel, which can be considered a trivialization of National Socialism. Such statements can, among other things, lead to imprisonment. Among other things, the post claimed that the removal had a Zionist motive, an accusation that should always be supported by appropriate evidence and prior to which it should be ruled out that there are alternative explanations.
We will not be removing every comment that goes even remotely in this direction, but we reserve the right to permanently ban users from feddit.org who make unfounded accusations, such as labeling our instance, admins, moderators, or other users as Nazis or Zionists, without substantial supporting arguments. This is especially the case when this is recurring behavior and not an isolated incident.
This includes content such as this post by @[email protected], who was banned from our instance shortly before that post due to multiple incitements of violence and terrorism. This person also seems to be the admin of the instance quokk.au, or at least to have good relations to the admin, since we received a censure on Fediseer from quokk.au around the same time, in which we are being accused of being Zionists and Nazis, and @[email protected] has suggested to defederate quokk.au from us (archive).
If this censure by quokk.au is not withdrawn in a timely manner, we will defederate quokk.au from our side for these unsubstantiated and untrue accusations. quokk.au is a relatively small instance with only a few local users, which tried to build an alternative news community that is not on one of the “big” instances. Unfortunately, this community also seems to be a poor alternative if this is how their admin typically acts.

The current version of the site states that indigenous people make up 2.6 percent of registered households in Taiwan, while 1.2 percent were foreign nationals and 96.2 percent were “the rest of the population.”
A screenshot of the site archived on March 17 on the Wayback Machine shows that it previously said that Han Chinese accounted for the largest portion of the population at 96.4 percent.
Article
The removal of the term “Han Chinese” from the Executive Yuan’s Web site, which has sparked an online backlash, was intended to improve ethnic equality in Taiwan based on advice from the Control Yuan and was not politically motivated, Cabinet spokeswoman Michelle Lee (李慧芝) said on Sunday.
A user on the Professional Technology Temple (PTT) online bulletin board on Saturday wrote that on March 24 a section on the Executive Yuan’s Web site about ethnic groups in Taiwan removed the term “Han Chinese.”
The current version of the site states that indigenous people make up 2.6 percent of registered households in Taiwan, while 1.2 percent were foreign nationals and 96.2 percent were “the rest of the population.”
A screenshot of the site archived on March 17 on the Wayback Machine shows that it previously said that Han Chinese accounted for the largest portion of the population at 96.4 percent.
Soon after the PTT comments gained widespread media attention, the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) criticized the change as “cognitive warfare” against China by the ruling Democratic Progressive Party.
KMT Legislator Chen Ching-hui (陳菁徽) on Saturday called the change “absurd,” saying it recognized the ethnicity of minority groups comprising only 3.8 percent of the population, but referred to the 96 percent majority as simply “the rest.”
Such blurring of the nation’s ethnic composition is unhelpful and raises suspicions about the motive behind the change, she said.
Lee said the Department of Household Registration made the revision in response to a suggestion from Control Yuan member Antonio Hong (鴻義章) in December 2022, who said the previous description counterposed Han Chinese against indigenous people and new immigrants.
In the previous language on the site, the term “Han Chinese” encompassed Hoklo and Hakka people, as well as immigrants, Lee cited Hong as saying.
Such polarizing phrasing might hinder efforts to facilitate ethnic equality and eliminate racial discrimination, she cited Hong as saying, adding that he again proposed the revision in 2023.
The Executive Yuan updates the country profile on the Web site annually and uses terms related to ethnicity based on statutes such as the Household Registration Act (戶籍法), the Indigenous Peoples Status Act (原住民身分法) and the Immigration Act (入出國移民法), as well as demographic data, Lee said.
The term “more than 23 million people of Taiwan” refers to citizens of the Republic of China with a registered household, including foreign nationals, she said.
Indigenous people must register their ethnicity in accordance with the Indigenous Peoples Status Act and foreign nationals would be documented as a group based on their first-time household registration, she added.
However, the ethnic status of Hoklo or Hakka people, or minority groups such as Manchus, Mongolians or Tibetans, is not recorded and their numbers could not be calculated by category, Lee said.
As using “Han Chinese” as an umbrella term to encapsulate all these ethnic groups does not accurately reflect their ethnicity, it was replaced with “the rest of the population” to more objectively describe the demographic structure in Taiwan, she said.
The change was not politically motivated and should not be misinterpreted, Lee said.
