@owa We (Edge) would very much like to stop having to build parallel dashboards like this because Interop fails to capture the most pressing developer needs:

@owa It has been truly bewildering that participants who know better have supported this, and have given air cover to the demand by Apple that no party even be able to disclose what they *supported*. Let 2025 be the year the secrecy ends.

“Where is the line?”

The line should have been at colonisation. But it wasn’t.

The line should have been at ethnic cleansing. But it wasn’t.

The line should have been at apartheid. But it wasn’t.

So now we are forced to draw the line at genocide.

And still, you ask “where is the line?”

So, instead, I ask you: where is your humanity?

@owa Not every proposal can make it in, and Interop already has one massive cut line in the form of multi-engine support as a threshold for entry. But when only one vendor pushes back, we deserve to know that.

It's that time of year again: time to support @owa's call to end secret vetoes of Interop proposals. Web developers should at least know *who* is pushing cuts to the web's most effective "TODO" list, if not why. Show your support (politely) here:

What point are we at, they ask, “bible denial?”

My dude, you are talking to a literal atheist.

Yes, Israelis are colonisers. And it appears that Wikipedia agrees with me. With citations.

Your book of fairy tales does not justify Israel committing *genocide* in Palestine. You know why? Because nothing does, that’s why.

You may now fuck off.

And if you have a problem with any of this, you can block me and my instance, @admin, and good riddance, if so, as I do not associate with people complicit in genocide.

#Urgent‼️ To all residents of Gaza City and all its neighborhoods, from the Old City and Tuffah in the east to the sea in the west

⭕️ The IDF is determined to defeat Hamas and will operate in the Gaza City area with great force, just as it did throughout the Strip.

⭕️ For your safety, evacuate immediately via the Rashid axis toward the humanitarian zone in Al-Mawasi.

🔴 Remaining in the area is very dangerous.

⭕️ To report any Hamas roadblocks or attempts to prevent evacuation, call 0529625830.

Israel is a terrorist state.

A terrorist state that is committing genocide.

Anyone who does not understand this at this point does not want to understand it on purpose and is a genocide denier. (And thus complicit in genocide as genocide denial is the last and final stage of genocide.)

Please stop spreading FUD about people who are suffering through genocide and famine for whom Mastodon and the fediverse are often their last lifeline.

You are not helping.

Scam accounts are very easy to detect as they usually employ bots and have multiple automatically-created accounts on different servers.

And for the others, we are doing our best to protect the people from Gaza who have Mastodon accounts on the fediverse from scammers with initiatives like https://gaza-verified.org

We must do everything we can to keep Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for Palestinians as it is one of the last ones they have online.

For those of you who may be confused about what Zionism is (because there are people actively trying to confuse you):

“Zionism is an ethnocultural nationalist movement that emerged in late 19th-century Europe to establish and support a Jewish homeland through the colonization of Palestine, a region corresponding to the Land of Israel in Judaism and central to Jewish history. Zionists wanted to create a Jewish state in Palestine with as much land, as many Jews, and as few Palestinian Arabs as possible.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism#cite%5Fnote-ZionistLandJewsArabs-6

Zionism is what’s behind Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people and, needless to say, not all Jews are Zionists. In fact, to say that all Jews are Zionists is antisemitic as you’re literally stating that to be Jewish is to be complicit in genocide.

Public service announcement: I am blocking the babka.social instance as the person who runs it (Serge) is a Zionist and a genocide/denier, who conflates being Jewish with being Zionist (“Zionism is a belief that more than 80% of Jews have. Talking about Zionists is talking about Jews.” – https://babka.social/@serge/115160596730973593) and who states that Israelis are not colonisers and that we cannot criticise Israel for killing children (one an hour on average for 23 months; https://babka.social/@serge/114670463036891746).

I will not federate with genocide deniers or people who hold the antisemitic view that all Jews support genocide and I suggest you do not do so either.

In the US, when you have absolutely no ability to hold a government official accountable, you say, "Person X must resign!"🤡

And then that person says, "Nah! I think I'll stay!"

And then you say, "No, you must resign at once!"🤡

And then they just ignore you.

And then that's the end of that.🤷🏿‍♂️
