So the genocide in Gaza is finally admitted by the liberals?

I would never deny any claim of genocide, regardless of evidence, because that's against .world's rules. If someone tells me that France is genociding Belgians, I won't question or dispute it because that's against the rules. But the thing is that when a genocide has clear, documented evidence, I just find that a lot more emotionally compelling. I connect more with what's happening when I can see a shitton of photo and video evidence of dead children in the streets than when all I have to go on is random hearsay. I guess you could say I'm a very visual person.

Pics or it didn't happen

I've brought this up too many times to count and honesty the responses are so cookie cutter that I swear 90% of ml users are Russian trolls/bots.

we should just defederate from ml instances entirely but that would just force them to create .world accounts.

there's no good answer other than don't interact with them. I've blocked lemmy.ml and pretty much block all troll accounts when they pop up.

I really like the troll accounts. Being told that I should be killed in a genocide because I voted is exactly the kind of absurd humor I love

And that works perfectly fine. Also, I like Lemmy the size it is now, but people who want to see Lemmy grow into a mainstream platform, are shit out of luck while these folks still roam our midsts
