Wanted fedi resource: a list that's just "if an instance has blocked any of these instances, it's an utter clowncar you shouldn't even think about joining, and probably should move away from if you're there". -

Especially considering how devolved such discussions can get so quickly.
My point was, primarily, regarding Timnit’s suggestion that October 7 wasn’t unprovoked. (Sorry for the double-negative but I wanted to use the same word she used).
That is functionally the same as victim blaming and justifying for the horrific and intentional brutality and promotion of October 7.

I think there’s plenty of valid criticisms of Israel. I do it quite often.
But this thread was, if i read it correctly, mentioning instance-level blocks, specifically dair, which is partly run by Timnit Gebru.
My point was that Timnit’s angle on AIPAC may be shaped by some things deeper than actual lobbying laws or Israel.
But condoning October 7, on October 7, is pretty gross from any angle.
