  • So if you had been trapped your while life in an open air prison camp. With limited food and water, electricity for just a few hours a day, and being bombed regularly, you would just sit back and accept that that was the way of the world?

    Or would you fight back?

    I don’t think any of us can say how we would react if we were Palestinian, but my gut feeling is, that having watched women and children killed in bombings for two decades, we would probably say all bets are off and do exactly what Hamas have done

    I think long term its a “big deal”, but in the shorter term, the amount of panic among people who are actively switching to another instance because the instance they are on has not blocked threads yet is kinda ridiculous.

    I am not leaving lemmy.world for another instance because they have not instantly blocked threads (who don’t even have connection set up to the fediverse in a way that lemmy can share content)

    So in the short term (like today, this week, this month) it is not a big deal.

    In the longer term it is a big deal and worthy of discussion.

    But, because someone says “I am demanding lemmy.world unfederate from meta in the next 24 hours or I leave” does not mean they support Meta on the fediverse :D








  • I really don’t think the producers do Hamilton any favours. I’m a Brit but not a Lewis fan, and one of the reasons is things like this, rather than just getting on with his race, Lewis is pissy because he got a penalty so he complains about everyone else.

    But, I do think in some ways the producers do him no favours, could well be that countless drivers are saying the same, but they only broadcast Lewis
