Israeli forces again open fire on Palestinians waiting for food, hours after #Israel bombed a #UN food distribution centre in southern #Rafah, killing at least five.
The only reason you put this in my comments and not in a report is because the mods have stopped responding to you guys' crying wolf over #antisemitism 🤣🤣🤣
This instance handles, on average, 6.5 reports of antisemitism a day.
Why is that significant? It's significant because Babka already suspends individual accounts, and Limits entire instances.
Despite this, we deal with ~6.5 new antisemitic accounts per day.
And yet, if we look at the graphs from Fediverse Observer, the number of active users on the Fediverse has gone down!
So what exactly does that mean, if the number of antisemitic accounts continues to grow and the number of active users continues to shrink?
It means that the number of antisemites on the Fediverse is quite large, and what we're seeing isn't new antisemites as much as it is antisemitism being so normalized that people feel comfortable spouting hate, and that despite blocking or silencing thousands of accounts, hate continues to be emboldened.
