Thanks. Yeah I remember reading something like that. Though, it wasn’t big news for me since I also live in that jurisdiction. Germany is a country, and as such it has it’s own laws which don’t always exactly match to what other countries do. For example here you aren’t allowed to publicly deny the holocaust, spread the war slogans of terrorist organizations or the nazis. That’s just forbidden. In other countries like the USA, you’ll have different exceptions to the First Amendment.
But since the admins are Germans and a large chunk of their userbase too. It’s going to be the german law that’s going to get them in trouble. And remember they do this for free as a service to us.
Arguably, a large part of the controversy is the notion that the feddit.org admins are citing the law as an excuse to shape the discussion much more broadly than said law actually requires.
Sure, I get that. I just can’t find any evidence of them actually doing things like that (overreaching past what’s mandated by law). So I think the notion isn’t rooted in reality. Other than that all I have is my experience of feddit.org being one of the nicer instances here on the network.
Many nazis at the time were “just following orders”, and that doesn’t make it better for them.
In this case, the law is shit, and just because it’s a law doesn’t mean it’s right. Critizicing israhell with how they are acting is the right thing to do. If they want to follow the law but they don’t agree with it, then just ban political talk in general.
Zionism is not judaism, zionism is a nazi movement, and the fact that many hebrews critizice zionism should tell you something about it.
No, you’re just wrong. I mean unless you live here, it’s not your call to make what we can and can not talk about. And I feel like you didn’t even get what it’s about. You’re perfectly fine to criticise Israel in Germany. We also do in fact discuss zionism and what random people on the internet say about that. If you scroll to the top and see what this post is about, you’d see that we actualy discuss the topic a lot on this Lemmy instance.

This post sums it up very well

Sorry, I occasionally have a weird fetish with feeding trolls. I was just getting started. But yeah, I’m going to stop now.
