On the one hand, communities without moderation against things like credible fomentation of violence, glorification of racism, or religious fundamentalism ... tend to devolve into toxic 4chan sludge (or worse, darknet sludge)

OTOH, the monolithic, authoritarian structure of centralized sites like Reddit encourages "Little Dictator" moderators who revel in their power and/or err on side of knee-jerk bans -- ultimately to protect the precious shareholders and advertisers (though moderators rarely understand the incentives well enough to connect these)

If you've ever been banned off lemmy.ml (as I proudly have), you know that the Little Dictator mods are still on Fedi. But the decentralized nature and open protocols make it easy to "vote with your feet" (as I proudly have).

    you deserve it for posting gross shit like this:

    How dare I call Hamas rapists

    Wow I have seen your point, religion is a good reason to commit rape

    my point is you are constantly posting about sexual assault and deflecting in defense of a genocidal ethnostate. as a result you seem to fit in well at piefed and get kicked out of spaces with any humanity.

    Isreal has committed genocide against Palestinians. Hamas has committed genocide against Jewish Isrealis.

    My point has been that I believe the one that is less democratic and more religious is unlikely to ever join reject barbarism and join civil society; the one that is at least ostensibly democratic and secular is much more likely to reject barbarism and join civil socity.

    You seem to want the world to have "Good Guys" and "Bad Guys". Maybe with a Two Minutes' Hate against the Bad Guys.

    the majority military and friendly fire causalities that resulted from the uprising from an open-air prison are not a genocide.

    your vision of 'more democratic' and 'less religious' is an explicit jewish ethnostate denying political rights to millions

    the genocidal ethnostate you clearly support are the ones being barbaric and should be rejected from civil society

    your repeated invocation of rape while supporting an ongoing extermination campaign including thousands of women and children is classic pinkwashing. you don't care about sexual violence, you're using feminist concern as cover for genocide. the fact that you keep bringing it up (in incredibly gross ways) while defending extermination shows it's rhetorical, not moral.

    you support genocide while claiming the genociders will 'reform.' you're not demonstrating nuance, you're demonstrating how comfortable you are with exterminating humans you view as unworthy. you're a zionist and it's obvious

    I'm saying the government of Isreal, despite the atrocities it has done, is in fact a democracy with elections and judges who get degrees in jurisprudence from secular universities filled with people from other cultures and countries.

    While Hamas, while governing Palestine, is not a democracy, its decision makers are religious and insular ... entered into an official policy of raping and murdering civilians

    In other words, Hamas is committing atrocities because of its basic strcuture, while Isreal is committing atrocities despite the democratic secular structures intended to guard against such things.
