    I have observed mod action and bans of users when no rules were violated on lemmy.world several times. The news and political subs might as well be on .ml as they heavily censor opposing views. I’m not talking about anything against the written rules. There’s lots of unwritten ones.

    Mods on other instances at times follow the ideas of lemmy.world, so you might get automatically banned elsewhere.

    Getting banned means all your posts and communities get deleted without a trace.

    sh.itjust.works has been good so far.

    I have gotten around huge coding homework during interview proceedings by telling the company that I’m also interviewing elsewhere. The homework dropped from a six hour task to a one hour task.

    Some companies try to get free labor out of you during the interview proceedings.

    I agree that lemmy.world moderation has issues. It can be arbitrary and the written rules don’t really matter. There’s also zero recourse.

    I would recommend sh.itjust.works

    Marketing and sales strategies are excellent for this game. It unifies in game purchases focused on whales like with mobile games and selling early access to an alpha. There’s also an aspect of collectibles and exclusivity like with NFTs. It‘s also cult like in many aspects. An utopian perfectionist vision evangelized by a prophet.

    The Ottomam Empire and Caliphates were aggressive brutal empires, that even conquered parts of Europe. That’s basic historic knowledge.

    Ottoman oppression of Arabs was the whole reason the British Empire could ally with them against the Ottomans. The Ottoman Empire didn’t fail because of outside empires, but the rot inside it.

    The wars in the Balkans in the 1990s can be traced back directly to Ottoman conquest.

    Look up slavery in the Ottoman Empire and caliphates as well. These were not some humanitarians.

    Hezbollah launches attacks from right next to UN troop bases. This is well documented. Civilians get hurt if military objectives are hidden among civilians. That is also well documented.

    Sure there are also a few warcrimes and aggressive action.

    I would prefer if this war hadn’t started in the first place.

    True. I have only found one community on lemmy that‘s better than its Reddit equivalent. !politicalcompassmemes@lemmy.world isn’t swamped with fascists.

    Just like previous Reddit alternatives quickly became refuges for fascists and jailbait, Lemmy is a refuge for tankies. They can say here, that would get them banned from Reddit. So a considerable part of the users here are of the more extreme sort in the first place.

    The arbitrary moderation here makes it less attractive to post something of substance. You’re just one mod’s click away from it all being deleted. Reddit at least keeps your account, posts, and bookmarks around, if you get banned. Sure you can get around this by hosting your own instance, but that’s a ton of work.

    The lower amount of content is an advantage in one way. Endless doomscrolling becomes repetitive quickly.

    # Vor einem Jahr feierte Black Lives Matter den Hamas-Angriff auf Israel als Widerstand. Nun bröckelt die Unterstützung der Schwarzen Community. Doch ausgerechnet an den Unis ist nun ein Umdenken zu erkennen. Die Black Student Union (BSU) der University of Michigan hat sich jüngst von der propalästinensischen Tahrir Coalition losgesagt. Denn die BSU habe sich innerhalb jener Koalition einer systematischen Diskriminierung ausgesetzt gesehen. „Es ist jedoch zunehmend offensichtlich geworden, dass Schwarze Identitäten, Stimmen und Körper in dieser Koalition nicht geschätzt werden, und deshalb müssen wir uns zurückziehen“, heißt es in dem Statement. Ähnlich negative Erfahrungen werden an Hochschulen zwischen New York und Los Angeles gesammelt. Afroamerikanische Studierende in der Free-Palestine-Bewegung fühlen sich wie Tokens oder Türsteher. Schwarze haben das Gefühl, unterwürfig grinsend an der Pforte stehen zu müssen, während White Saviors in Kufiyas hereinstolzieren, gegen die kulturelle Aneignung predigen und von der Führung mit offenen Armen empfangen werden. In der Mensa bezeichnen Arabischsprachige ihre schwarzen Kom­mi­li­to­n:in­nen als abeed („Versklavte“). Gesehen wollen die Orga-Teams lieber mit weißen Angehörigen der Jewish Voices for Peace. Es wird gewitzelt, dass Schwarze eh nur wegen der Wassermelone, des Symbols der propalästinensischen Bewegung, mitmarschieren wollen.

    Gaza has been a hurtful experience. This year we saw the passing of a milestone, 100 years without a central leadership. The last Ottoman Caliphate, with all its faults, remained a global force and acted as a shield for this ummah. So why have we declined to such a degree that it seems our leadership is inept and our ummah has not moved over Gaza. And what now can we do about it? Dr Tareq al-Suwaidan is a prolific writer, speaker, trainer and in many ways has brought much needed intellectual thought to our age.
