The world needs less of their voice, not more of it.
What we need is less centrist fucks who want to 'just give them a chance'.

What did you say about my mother?
Do you know how shit Lemmy could be if some hexbear tankies could come into your community and brigade it until they've banned half the users?
Or the flipside, it's a process that involves weeks of voting and you've got CP plastered all over the front page while you wait to reach enough votes to trigger its removal.
Moderators exist to fill a role, that is the need for immediate action. Communities should be involved in decision making around rules, but you need people on hand to take responsibility and keep shit running. The benefit of Lemmy is that if you don't like it, you can go create your own instance or community, without being subjected to a singular owner; that's the issue it was solving, not your terrible one.
It's a screenshot of Reddit not Lemmy.
But you are on .ml, which is one of the worst instances especially if you hate power hungry mods - also avoid .world.
Emails show early US concerns over Gaza offensive, risk of Israeli war crimes
In response to questions about the emails, the White House said, "The U.S. has been leading international efforts to get humanitarian aid into Gaza” and “this is and will continue to be a top priority.” It added that before U.S. “engagement, there was no food, water, or medicine getting into Gaza.”
Such as shame they gave us Biden instead of Bernie. It would have been nice to feel proud of my president for once.
