I think you’re getting two things muddled up here:

• The report does say to use the IHRA definition for antisemitism
• The UCAS survey where the ‘three in five’ figure is from just asks students if they’ve witnessed or experienced antisemitism, it does not enforce any definition of antisemitism

Also I did respond to a comment (of Ibelieve you yourself?) with the link to the study and the link to it

Not me, someone who’s since deleted their account. You also linked the Daily Mail article not the report.

My post is still correct. As is the Reddit post.

How are we suppose to know that? It’s a screenshot and you never link to the original. Verifying that Reddit screenshot took quite some work on my part and I think it’s the posters responsibility to bring the evidence, not the mods to find and verify it.

And I’m not sure why you’re talking as if the BBC and TheGuardian are any more reliable sources than the Daily Main while they’re putting out Zionist propaganda slop blitzes every day which then have to be debunked by people on Twitter and Reddit because major UK newspapers cannot do basic due dilligence. And then you’re here telling me I don’t know where to get my news from?

I’m a trans person living in Britain, you’ll hear no love for the Guardian or BBC from me. But the Daily Mail is still significantly worse than both of them. Just because we sometimes have to get our information from bad sources doesn’t mean we should lower our standards to the Mariana Trench.

I also need to emphasis that Twitter is not a place you should be getting your news from (or be on at all for that matter). It amplifies far-right accounts and studies have shown it makes you more right wing. Frankly I don’t think we allow stuff from there at all.

Here is MEE having to lay out how completely fraudulent the UK government report was they used an incredibly low sample size of 70

I never defended the report, I don’t know why you’re making it out like I have. I agree that 70 is a piss poor sample size to draw conclusions from.

on which they used the IHRA definition to conflate Zionism and antisemitism

No? It was self-reported. The students may be conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism, but the survey just asks if they’ve experienced or witnessed antisemitism and takes them at their word.

then mythically increased 41% to 70%

I think you mean 60%?

The admins also removed a post from my own community because the post cites TheDailyMail and that is not a “reliable source” despite the headline being completely verified including a link to the UK government report itself. Might as well introduce MBFC next.

No they didn’t, I removed that post from !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk. You also didn’t link to a report, you linked to a post by the Institute for Jewish Policy Research that neither corroborated the Daily Mail headline and isn’t a UK government body, it’s a think tank based in London. The closest that post says to the headline is “One in four parents reported their children experienced antisemitism when attending school”.

And not believing the Daily Mail to be a reliable source isn’t introducing MBFC, it’s common sense. Though given how much of your news you clearly get from Twitter, I can see why this is hard for you to grasp.

And here is an even more extensive debunk of the report found on the “ultra radically left” /s Hasan Piker subreddit

A screenshot of Reddit post that itself is a screenshot of a Twitter post. It is right (grab the spreadsheet from here), but you should really try for better sources.

Usually we aren’t out of commission for too long.

Bad news on that front, from Lemmy General Matrix chat:

AT Proto is a terrible base for a chat app. There’s a reason Bluesky’s DMs aren’t stored in your PDS. Hell, even your bookmarks (which are stored in your PDS) are off protocol.

Does anyone else find the font on this uncomfortable to read is that just me?

geneva_convenience is still doing the ‘combating antisemitism is Jewish supremacy’ thing?

Relevant Tom Scott video.

Edit: VNs also tend to use pretty large fonts for English in my experience.

Hey folks, I have several accounts across the fediverse (Lemmy, pixelfed, mastodon, bookwyrm), and I think it would be neat to have a single identity across all these platforms.

This is just something ActivityPub just doesn’t handle very well. It’s one of the things AT Proto (Bluesky, Tangled) handles a lot better and hopefully something we steal from it.

Rebased, a fork of Pleroma

The TERF fork?

Could I still use the different apps? (Blorp, Pachli, Rocinante). Would I be missing features?

No, these apps depend on the various platform APIs. Pachli might work, depending on how Mastodon-compatible Pleroma’s API is, but Blorp and Rocinante will not.

They’re not EU based, but libro.fm is good for DRM-free audiobooks.

Thanks for your efforts! I know that feeling well friend, my main social media used to be Reddit and Twitter.

!rwby@sh.itjust.works has been weirdly active lately, which is a nice surprise. I would’ve thought the community would be mostly dormant until Volume 10.

They’re really leaning into the email similarities here, not a fan of moving the sidebar to the other side but I’ll get over it. My biggest wish on the UI front though is for them to add a threaded view for replies like what Bluesky has, navigating long threads on Mastodon can be really taxing just trying to follow reply chains.

Why not just use something like Wordpress? Plenty of web fiction is already published on it and it federates.

The best part is that this won’t even work, the max page size in Lemmy is 100.

Detrans.ai is on X, the everything app

Modern fascism in one sentence.

Sure, but I’m just pointing out that these are different features that happen to be named the same thing. I’d also point out that something that doesn’t federate can’t really be called part of the fediverse, which is what OP was asking about.

Piefed’s private communities are local only, ie no federation. The Lemmy 1.0 ones do federate.

Lemmy 1.0 will have ‘private communities’, which are communities whose posts can only be viewed by approved subscribers. I wouldn’t trust this though, you can’t guarantee other instances running other software will keep the posts private, so I’d only trust this if you host the instance and allow list vetted instances, which just opens you up to the problems mentioned in the other thread.

Your best bet is an e2ee messaging app with group support. People will recommend Matrix, but the moderation tools kind of suck and it can be very resource demanding to host (from what I’ve heard, I don’t host Matrix). Signal is what most privacy people will recommend but I don’t know how accessible it is in Iran given it’s centralised nature. The XMPP people will inevitably speak up and they’re probably even right, but I’ve never used XMPP so can’t speak on it.

Then you can just block the user agent in nginx or whatever you use, like all the other AI scrapers who ignore robots.txt (*cough* Amazon)
