  • The reich is not germany. Germany after the third reich has also done unspeakable things. Currently, germany is assisting in genocide which hopefully will lead to german politicians being charged and sentenced for crimes against humanity.

    My point was your argument is bogus and flying a flag does not mean aligning with every deed. It shows that you dont understand how public image works.

    Painting an organization (or a person) as bad is very easy, same with painting them as good (whitewashing). Flying any flag means sparking discourse and in some cases it means reopening the public case to change the public image.


  • I wrote this to highlight how the term “terror*” is used to smear armed resistance.

    Raising a flag in general does not mean you support any and all deeds an organization has done. Another undercomplex take.

    For example germany, usa, etc have done unspeakable things, yet we can raise their flag. These double standards are insane. There is no group that - by this standard - would be worthy of flying their flag. Even in the lgbtq and neurodivergence movements there are people who are bad actors. Its is a complete L take.

    I’m not saying hamas or whatever group is beyond criticism or even worth considering supporting but I’m saying a very small portion of people speaking about this cab write two paragraphs about these organizations, why and how they were formed and what things they did and what they should be criticized or ousted for.


  • I just want to learn it to know it

    Acquiring a skill just to have it isnt how it works. Skills are perishable, meaning you will unlearn them just as easy. Of course much experience would take a long time but still.

    I suggest imagining what you could do with programming. What little problems do you face that could be solved by programming?

    You also dont need to write another operaring system or debug “a whole game”. If you decide you want to learn programming (because its fun or because you like to create and fix shit), you can make an app run on your computer or phone that didnt run before. I did exactly that and my programming skills are pretty small. You dont have to know all the algorithms or study it to do useful stuff with it.

    I made a couple text based games, solved some advent of code riddles and so on. Its fun and it helps seeing the world as a canvas instead of a fixed structure that is applied to you.



  • They’re not. One can join any instance they like. But its like “what brand of toilet paper is someone to buy when they move out?” Thats for you to figure out. Ask someone, try a couple and settle for what helps you most.

    That said, account migration would be nice although the possible issues are pretty brutal. An account is mostly a bunch of posts, comments and subscriptions. Reposting them would be fatal, relinking them would be dangerous. Only the subscriptions would be easy to move and i think that exists already.

    I see your point. But imo its technically not really feasible.


  • I think there is an important lesson to be learned here. The countries we live in came to be through (sometimes armed and violent) protest. They dont change through disagreement but through long lasting and resilient protest.

    Another important part: a lot of the people we know today as those who formed our human rights and countries, would ne branded terrorists today. The countries we live in use terror to overwhelm opposition but they call it legitimate. We have police in tanks using chemicals against protesters, killing some.

    Its total bullshit and sign of undercomplex understanding of the world to blanket distegard groups because they form armed resistance against oppression. Armed resistance is also covered by international human rights, while the actions of the current aggressor are not.



  • If you read again what I wrote instead of jumping to conclusions you would see that I am in contact with other instance admins. We talk about things like this. You’re not the expert here. This is not an issue in general. If there are communities where this is a problem, you can always switch or make a competing one that does not care about reports. The more important part is that reports dont have any automated impact on most lemmy instances, meaning that it doesnt mean shit if you get a 1000 reports per post, which still doesnt happen in general. Otherwise we would be getting informed about it.

    Edit: i checked your post history. This absolutely fits with your question and your reaction to being told its not a problem in general. You are the problem. Aggressive, dismissive language that adds no value to the conversation whatsoever. Please do better or go back to whatever trollfactory you jumped out of. Good bye.
