Which is why Jews across the world have said Israel is genuinely the greatest source of danger to them in terms of antisemitism - because it has linked its atrocities to their identity, regardless of their personal support.

Because Palestine is a multifaith, multicultural country and Israel is a colonial foothold & apartheid that is actively and systemically trying to erase both Palestine and Palestinians.

Resistance is justified, oppression is not.

Hmm, would be great if there was a like a nice, accessible list of these things for new users - tools and the like - and a link to that list was available on the Sign-up screen, right across Lemmy…

Would certainly go some way to reducing the friction between starting and knowing what you’re doing.

I’d counterpoint by saying that Meta isn’t a person - up its not really a apples-to-apples comparison here. They’re trying to get in here to make money. Pure and simple. I’d wager we aren’t - we’re here hour community.

Our wants and needs are opposed, that’s why I’m not comfortable with letting them commercialise/monopolise whatever they want - especially somewhere that could offer us a more healthy online experience and upset their business model long term.

I’m not a programmer so I have no idea what’s what, but the functionality of that sounds really cool and would serve really well to uphold the whole “social media as a decentralised, non-static web of communities” framework going on here

I don’t know, I think we have a responsibility to eachother to keep the Fediverse ecosystem healthy - Facebook/Meta isn’t exactly a humanist… well, anything.

I think it’s fair the white blood cells of our ‘body’ are calling for re-enforcements on this.

Not for owners, for sure - but for prospective ones? The catalogue of possible games/uses is a bit thin for a 1k+ piece of kit… I think it would be incredible to own a HOTAS warthog but I’m not playing flying games very often right now, you know?

If I did, I probably would because at that point I want to enjoy the kit I have. Imo, that means right now, a flight sim controller set up due my use case is a bit of a gimmick - but if I already owned it I’d seek out things to utilise it, reducing its gimmicky position in ‘the roster’.

Gimmicky is kind of a subjective term in that way, it’s all about the individual utility offered.

But yeah - that comment was a bit snarky, I get that too.

Feels more like a Chekhovs gun than a red herring at the moment but I hear what you’re saying.
