I don't want to defederate anything. What feddit is doing sounds super Orwellian and shitty, but so is .ml sometimes, and I still do stuff which seems positive over there. The thing that lead me to SDF in the first place was the low blocked/blocked by.

Agreed. I periodically check to confirm that SDF is not blocking other instances and feel pride at the free thought. That's part of why I changed my mind and amended the post. This is a topic that matters more to me than a lot of other reasons people on other instances have called for defedding. But rational arguments in the comments pulled me back. Thanks all.
It is possible to be pro-Palestinian and anti-Hamas at the same time.
Similarly, it is possible to be pro-Jewish and anti-Israel at the same time.
They key is to be in favour of, and supporting, the innocent civilians that are NOT wielding hate and bigotry, and in direct and vociferous opposition to the power structures on BOTH sides that have looked true evil in the eye and said, “hold my beer and watch this”.
I am as anti-Hamas as I am anti-Israel. Both power/political structures are among the most reprehensibly evil orgs on the planet at this time.
I stand with the innocent civilians; with THE PEOPLE.
Same - and it's weird to see so many leftists immediately jump to unconditional support for Hamas, who are literally a reactionary, religious fundamentalist force and who have done horrible things towards Palestinian people.
Armed resistance to Israel does not negate its evils or its reactionary internal role.
Banning certain actions and defederation; both are censorship and also patronization. I am against any form of censorship. There are very few exceptions, mainly malicious actions, which need to be banned to protect your users.
We all have the choice to hide certain terms, communities or servers. A much better way is to get confronted by it and actively protest to this kind of censorship. Share your views, your opinions in a non-offending way. Give the others the chance to get educated. If it fails, move on and enjoy your life somewhere else.
I know, my views are quite unpopular. But they are mine. Feel free to block me at any time.
Politely disagree

pretty reasonable, admins can't change the law.
fuuuuck that. there's only one kind of good zionist, just like there's only one kind of good nazi.
they cannot change the law, but also they don't have to follow the law because they aren't within that country's jurisdiction.
From what I've heard these are german laws and their instance is based in austria. Those are different countries.
The slogan “from the river…”
Literally not a terrorist statement, sorry it just isn't and even including this makes it obvious how poorly thought through or examined Zionist's beliefs are. It should scare us all and I do not say that lightly.
If you will not resist your country deciding a statement is a terrorist belief when it provide zero actual evidence..the war is already lost and we are in for a hellish future.
The feddit admins are the worst flavor of morally bankrupt, which is cowardly AND morally bankrupt.
