Is it ok for people on the ActivityPub network to speak negatively about other distributed social networks?

I have seen quite a few posts justifying the genocide in Gaza -- not denying its existence, but defending it morally. Usually it links the population of Gaza with Hamas, either because of the election in 2006 or because of Gazans' support for Hamas now. Sometimes people talk about terrorism, or hatred of Israelis. In any event, civilian deaths and starvation are defended because there's something wrong with the victims. This is genocide justification.

My answer would be yes, but. Yes, but it's not entirely clear. We do have a prohibition on Holocaust denial, which is great, as well as promotion of violence, totalitarianism, and hateful imagery.

Hey, all. Relatively low responses on this, which was interesting. I think there might be a few reasons for that; one is the understanding of what genocide justification is, and the other is unfamiliarity with our own server rules. Or maybe it's just not an interesting topic to people.

Is genocide justification against your server's rules?

@silverpill @strypey oh, that's too bad. I think having a variety of forum software would be great. @j12t @julian how do we get that moving?

@strypey that sounds like a great plan for self-care. Have you thought about other ways to be active in the ActivityPub community, like participating in SocialCG task forces?

@silverpill @strypey a nice aspect of decentralisation!

Regardless, I think there was some momentum to set up other fora...?

@lakelady I'd suggest looking over the linked Wikipedia page, which covers the issue of what "real names" have meant for different platforms at different times.

The Wikipedia article has links to specific examples of this kind of policy.

_________ Fediverse platforms should use a real names policy.

I finished the main story in Card Wars and became a Super Amadeus but I don't think I 100%ed it. There were a lot of sides I didn't do.

@liilliil what does 100% in Minesweeper mean?
