A little maybe, but not much.

I’ve seen people say they left reddit to join Lemmy because of the toxic users. To each their own, but I personally think Lemmings aren’t much better. Some people over here can’t understand that sensitive questions can be asked without bad intent. People are way too defensive about their opinions.

It is disappointing, but it’s the better option.

    I just had a guy here tell me that shooting civilians in Israel was OK, because there are no Israeli civilians.

    The anti-semitism here is effing out of control.

      Do you count people that served in the IOF and are part of the reserve as civilians? That’s the thing most talk about. And again with the anitsemitism 🙄 people have a lot better reasons to hate israelis than “zomg jews”

        Nope, it was explicitly every single Israeli. Explicitly stated. A mod has removed the comment now, so I can’t link to it - but that kinda proves my point (unless you think I am making up everything).

        I do get the impression that lots of people here believe the sentiment in that comment. While being too self aware to actually state it in writing.

          You can link to comments if they were removed though. You can find them in the modlog. Click the three dots and “show user moderation history” or “comment moderation history”.

          Also that’s still not antisemitism.

          A mod removed what you consider antisemitism so you consider it proving the point that there’s entrenched antisemitism? Dude, that’s the opposite of what you are trying to prove.

      My dude, if after all what has happened. You still live in israel… you are indeed pro-genocide.

      Like the old saying: if you are at a table with 9 nazis, there are 10 nazis at the table. Speak up or be complicit.

        It’s harder than before to try and migrate to other countries. I live in the USA and want to not do so but everywhere I’ve looked, even Canada, isn’t looking for much of anything besides specialists in STEM fields and medical experts.

          I was about to make a point that they are complicit from waaay before since Israel was funded on stolen land BUT it is the exact same in the US lol

          At least I could argue people born there have little to no choice

      The prevailing theory here is violence is good as long as it’s down to the ‘bad’ people and it’s wrong if it’s done against the ‘good’ people.

      With total ignorance of the fact… this is the same rationale that is causing the genocide in Gaza.

      Then people scream about human rights or whatever, and fail to realize that they apply to everyone, not just who they think is good.

          Yes, you are. Especialy since you want to exterminate anything remotely that looks like a Nazi.

          You have no interest in actually defeating nazism or real nazis. You just want an excuse to bash heads

          Just like the Nazis do. It’s almost as if you, just like the nazis you hate so much, cosplay as a tough guy on the internet to make yourself feel good… you are not a hero fighting evil in the world, you’re just another hateful douche bag looking to blame someone for your problems in life.
