It’s just some random internet person. Why would what they say annoy you?

None, I don’t think it’s worthwhile to block users and create some kind of filtered bubble or echo chamber. To me, if you try to silence someone, you’re afraid of what they have to say.
What allegations? They literally openly admit to it.
Majority of the people who are saying this are Arab-Americans. They know how bad Trump will be, they voted overwhelmingly in favor of Biden back in 2020. Unfortunately, after a year of witnessing their entire ethnicity being written off as an acceptable casualty in the name of international diplomacy and foreign lobbying, they’ve become numb and just stopped caring. There have been repeated instsnces of Democrats actually silencing them from speaking up as well. They’ve adopted a scorched earth mentality and are deciding to send a giant “fuck you” to Harris and the entire Democratic party.
And the Democrats are also allowing Israel to do whatever they want. There’s not much of a difference between the two on this topic.
frightful_hobgoblin gave a pretty good rough overview of the bigger instances.
Some instances are more geared towards a certain “culture”. Once you browse enough of Lemmy you tend to get a feel for it. For instance, I chose my instance because a lot of the communities are centered around hobbies and interests so it’s more lighthearted, and the admins seem to be very focused on providing a positive experience as well as ensuring federation is done right. You’ll just need to keep this culture of an instance in mind when browsing communities on different instances. The level of moderation can vary significantly between them. I haven’t tried it myself but my understanding is you can move your account to a different instance should you choose to in the future. So keep that in mind if you feel like at one point you don’t like your instance.
The cat actually looks pretty impressive tbh, especially the tail.
No, they give them whole. Israel blows them up for fun before giving them back to their families.
So once again foreign powers are re-drawing borders and assigning leaders to countries halfway across the world based on international politics?
So Israel is going to conduct airstrikes on UN bases now?
This is what those pro Israeli chucklefucks are defending. These kinds of people.
No lol. Just regular popcorn and certain flavors. This is in Canada, so it might be different for you.
Costco samples sometimes. Doesn’t happen often though. I think the last time was this huge bag of popcorn that was actually really good.
The bodies aren’t even cold…
These kinds of discussions are between corporations who have defined SLA’s that specify things like reliability, uptime, etc. It’s likely this outage breached this agreement so the lawyers of the companies are discussing internally and behind closed doors. This kind of thing doesn’t get reported on in general.
Take your pick lol. Israel did settle on their land in the first place. They’ll probably be a good chunk of Palestinians on both sides of that question. Some who just want to finally enjoy peace and freedom. And some who want to make sure that what they’ve gone through for the past 70+ years never happens again. No one that is not Palestinian can fault either of those 2 opinions.
They would definitely have some kind of mandatory military service instituted. I don’t think they would ever trust their Zionist neighbors.
Culturally and economically speaking, it would be very similar to Lebanon or Syria in my opinion.
You don’t need to find them, they find you. Just say something true like “Israel is committing some of the most disgusting war crimes in the modern day” or “Putin is a warmongering asshole”. Once you post something like that you get a bunch of idiots reply to you and try to convince you that you’re wrong without actually explaining why you’re wrong. They just throw strawman arguments and whataboutisms or just straight up lie.
No. Read dystopian novels like Brave New World and you’ll understand why.
My default sort is new since a majority of the posts in my feed are news articles and I like to see them as they happen.
My other method is scaled so that I can make sure I see what’s rising/popular in a balanced way so that I also see the smaller communities contributions.
Just ignore/downvote/argue them. Whatever you prefer and have the energy for. I don’t believe blocking people just because they disagree or annoy you is a good mindset to have personally. You’re just setting yourself up to just browse in an echo chamber.
I remember a few months ago there was a post on Asklemmy where the person talked about how they enjoyed talking to an AI chatbot more than human interaction. During the course of the discussion it came out that this person had some incredibly crappy views on things like politics and human loss. This person admitted to blocking over 500 people on Lemmy because of it, and it’s likely gone up since then. Blocking people just sets one up to have that kind of mindset.
