https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/antisemitism this article specifically and the series of it goes into detail more beyond that

Don't attempt to explain my own peoples hatred to me. I know more than you as I've lived this, as a Jew who is explicitly not a Zionist and has faced antisemitism online and offline. Stop.

Any group. Antisemitism is unfortunately a unique form of racism that can be perpetuated by anyone. It's complicated, and it's complexity makes it all the more frustrating. It's not just a Nazi thing, it's an anyone thing. Anyone can perpetuate antisemitism, not just Nazis. That's why it's such a prevalent form of bigotry across the world. It's also prevalent not just in Europe but there is antisemitism that has been culturally common in the Middle East as well as it is in the West, most of it which predates Israels founding as a whole too. That doesn't justify Israels bullshit and their fascist government. Jew's are hated by nearly everyone, everywhere.

Because West media purposely masking Israel with the cloak of cultural protection given to Jews is often what I discuss with my friend and is fucking disgusting and a disservice to all of the innocent Jews.

This specifically is something to be very careful when stating, as it veers dangerously close into territory of "jews control the media" which is an antisemitic conspiracy theory. I know what you are trying to say and our intentions seem to be in good faith here, but I ask you to analyze that as it is one of those things that people may take in very bad faith.

https://www.ushmm.org/antisemitism/what-is-antisemitism/explained <- this is a good primer for it. It's extremely complicated and there's a reason why even in the US many well intentioned people don't understand it either. It also doesn't help that Israel uses legit examples of antisemitism to try and shield their war crimes from criticism.

As a Jew, I say this kindly as I possibly can but it very much is quite strong in the real world. I've experienced antisemitism numerous times over with people using antizionism as an excuse. Antisemitism is really bad and has risen in the past few years online and offline, and people with bad intentions absolutely exploit Israeli war crimes to justify their antisemitism. And it creates a shitty feedback loop as hardcore Zionists point to instances of antisemitism that's in done under the guise of antizionism as "hey look see they hate us thats why we need zionism!"

Mmm, there's nuance there. It can be exploited to push antisemitism, but it isn't inherently antisemitic.

Antisemitism explicitly refers to hatred of Jews, it's a weird linguistics thing but its why when referring to antisemitism there isnt a dash (anti-semitism) as that would specifically refer to all semites as a whole (which palestinians are). It has roots to the specific phrase that was used in German to refer to hatred of Jews.

Thank you.

Removed from school libraries in any school district in the US.

It hurts itself in confusion

Ugh. What the fuck

You must not know much about german politics lol go to the wikipedia page for AFD

https://lemmyverse.net is a good place to find more communities as well as the new communities community as mentioned. I'll also add !trendingcommunities@feddit.nl is good as well :)

Wow. He straight up just admitted he's a Nazi. Absolutely fucking vile.

Something that takes a bit of adjustment that a lot of ex-Redditors here are yet to realize: the fediverse is specifically built for curating your experience overall. It's not meant to replicate the Reddit's everything all jumbled together experience. There technically is somewhat of a post algorithm to a degree on lemmy, but most of the fediverse doesn't have that and what lemmy has is a very bare minimum. Follow the communities you are interested in and block the ones you really can't vibe with. When more granular blocking and silencing comes especially on the admin end, it'll be more easy to utilize that curation experience as well. No one here is forced to interact with you and you aren't forced to interact with them, and if the person you cant vibe with is an instance admin or a community mod you can go somewhere you vibe better or start something new yourself instead if you have time and energy to do so.

Free yourself and block that community that raises your blood pressure. You aren't missing anything, I promise.

Let it happen organically. It will happen in waves.

The series looks excellent so far! I am so freaking excited!

Reserved for pickup at my library 👀

There are some in development! Gotosocial is very very single user friendly and easy to setup and so is writefreely. I do hope in time there is a "lemmy lite" version that has local communities disabled completely and more local user friendly settings. It likely will in time, but we will see.

It's only just begun. That's what they said about Xitter ages ago as well, but if it can get worse it absolutely fucking will

It's gradually improving but its 100% not ready for full production outside of enthusiasts who are willing and patient enough to take the time and effort to wrangle with its quirks. If you want to self host (especially as a single user) and aren't prepared to make vigorous backups and aren't extremely technical inclined/are a regular average user it's *really *not worth it right now. It likely will be in time, but there's a lot of issues with lemmy that need to be addressed. Thankfully the coming update will address some of its most serious though. It helps to be involved in the admin matrix community chats and generally accepting community assistance, but it's just far too much to keep on top of for most people. If I didn't have a community and mine was a single user instance, I 100% would have shut it down weeks ago and migrated over to a larger instance.
