Is lemmy.world anti-humanity for banning anti-Zionists? (piefed.zip)

Lemmy.world reportedly bans people for being anti-Zionist. At the same time, numerous human rights organizations have documented that Zionist policies and actions amount to crimes against humanity (e.g., forced displacement, collective punishment, apartheid).

If banning opposition to crimes against humanity is itself anti-humanity, doesn’t that make lemmy.world complicit? How do you reconcile defending a platform that silences critics while atrocities continue?

It's just about what you can see, and who can see you. For maximum content and interaction pick one that defederates, and is defederated by, as few instances as you can find.

Some good ones to try: Lemmy.zip, startrek.website, and lemmy.dbzer0.com, but maybe wait until this blows over to commit to dbzer0 unless you're cool with losing federation to .world, I understand there is a lot of stuff there.

I'm on my ninth Lemmy account, I ditch them after I think I've dropped a few to many PII breadcrumbs, I've used all of these multiple times and they're all good.

I started on .world like you, but now that you're here there is no reason to let .world mods curate your experience.

Also, you can always maintain multiple different accounts.

Bonus question. I am using jerboa. Some people it shows where their acount is from, but others it doesn't. Is that just a jerboa thing, or is that a lemmy feature that you can hide what instance you are from?

I use Voyager and a lack of instance name, either on users or in communities, means it's the same as mine.

Do you see any that say .world, or just others?

Ha! That makes sense, and fits. Thanks.
