The abuse potential this has feels quite concerning. You've just given kiwifarms a decentralized tool to host its stalking profiles on people.

I removed the plugin causing the issue and cleared the cache.

It is unfortunate that this is what you have decided to take away from the blog post instead of reflecting on the criticism I have provided. Instead of reflecting on my list of legitimate criticism you have decided to call me entitled and hone in on small aspects of the blog post in attempt to dismiss it completely. Per usual, it is everyone else that seems to be the problem but you. I outlined my own issues with lemmy after a LOT of patience and goodwill. That's lost, and this comment solidifies further why I will switch away from lemmy as soon as I get the chance. Whether you decide to accept the points I have made is on you but ultimately your refusal to recognize the issues I have outlined will cause this project to fade away completely. And that's really sad. I love lemmy as a project and an idea.

You aren't, it's a weird issue with the activitypub plugin I am having. I'm contemplating removing the plugin itself due to this.

Just a bunch of Japanese script kiddies targetting the fediverse and its network for some reason. There's active measures being taken and thankfully many instances are monitoring it pretty well.

https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/antisemitism this article specifically and the series of it goes into detail more beyond that

Any group. Antisemitism is unfortunately a unique form of racism that can be perpetuated by anyone. It's complicated, and it's complexity makes it all the more frustrating. It's not just a Nazi thing, it's an anyone thing. Anyone can perpetuate antisemitism, not just Nazis. That's why it's such a prevalent form of bigotry across the world. It's also prevalent not just in Europe but there is antisemitism that has been culturally common in the Middle East as well as it is in the West, most of it which predates Israels founding as a whole too. That doesn't justify Israels bullshit and their fascist government. Jew's are hated by nearly everyone, everywhere.

Because West media purposely masking Israel with the cloak of cultural protection given to Jews is often what I discuss with my friend and is fucking disgusting and a disservice to all of the innocent Jews.

This specifically is something to be very careful when stating, as it veers dangerously close into territory of "jews control the media" which is an antisemitic conspiracy theory. I know what you are trying to say and our intentions seem to be in good faith here, but I ask you to analyze that as it is one of those things that people may take in very bad faith.

https://www.ushmm.org/antisemitism/what-is-antisemitism/explained <- this is a good primer for it. It's extremely complicated and there's a reason why even in the US many well intentioned people don't understand it either. It also doesn't help that Israel uses legit examples of antisemitism to try and shield their war crimes from criticism.

As a Jew, I say this kindly as I possibly can but it very much is quite strong in the real world. I've experienced antisemitism numerous times over with people using antizionism as an excuse. Antisemitism is really bad and has risen in the past few years online and offline, and people with bad intentions absolutely exploit Israeli war crimes to justify their antisemitism. And it creates a shitty feedback loop as hardcore Zionists point to instances of antisemitism that's in done under the guise of antizionism as "hey look see they hate us thats why we need zionism!"

Mmm, there's nuance there. It can be exploited to push antisemitism, but it isn't inherently antisemitic.

Thank you.

It hurts itself in confusion

Let it happen organically. It will happen in waves.

I think for a shitpost instance a custom ad network banner ads with memes and shitposts would be make sense. What I mean by that is that on geocities as well as some small internet sites there’s “custom ad networks” where they basically rely on donations and or just random people submitting “ads” that normally tend to be just links to their site, weird obscure memes, animal pictures, etc.

I think real ads for the sake of advertising on lemmy wouldn’t really be acceptable in any form, but shitposting ads have potential imo

Are you able to renew the SSL certificate? It appears to be expired.

It should be noted, it is likely coming to lemmy specifically soon.

Such is the beauty of the fediverse, block/mute/filter freely and openly. I'd block and filter more if I weren't an admin. Curating your content is the purpose of the fediverse, you make the algorithm.

I’d disagree but it does depend on your instance and how you curate the content you want to view.

It's so weird seeing my instances meta community on here lol

Here to point out before anyone can go “well actually.” That rally was inherently violent and the fact that it did not end up with more people dead (especially the local Jewish community) is a miracle.

Also, those photos make my skin crawl. That’s not subtle whatsoever. Anyone who pretends otherwise is blind.

It's interesting, that's for sure. But the fact it is filled by nazis and the comment section is just swarming with antisemitism and bigotry is very much not something I'm willing to sift thru.
