@jinnijoon It's not just misleading, but completely wrong. #NetureiKarta (which is the sect shown here) doesn't identify themselves as Israeli. In literally the first photo of their post the group puts the "Israel" in "scary quotes".
But what can you say about #tokenists who see both Palestinians and Jews as pawns. The same virtue signallers who chastise the right-wing for not differentiating Israelis from Jews but ends up doing the same anyway. :seija_coffee:
A lot of people have insisted #Meta isn't getting involved with the #Fediverse to embrace, extend and extinguish it...
... but even before fully implementing Fediverse interoperability in #Threads they're already talking openly about changing its protocols to add features like monetization. 🤔
Text in a screenshot reads as follows: McCue riffed on the idea that fediverse users could become creators where some of their content became available to subscribers only, similar to how Patreon works. For instance, fediverse advocate and co-editor of ActivityPub Evan Prodromou created a paid Mastodon account (@evanplus) that users could subscribe to for $5 per month to gain access. If he’s on board with paid content, surely others would follow. Cottle agreed that the model could work with the fediverse, too. He additionally suggested there are ways the fediverse could monetize beyond donations, which is what often powers various efforts today, like Mastodon. Cottle said someone might even make a fediverse experience that consumers would pay for, the way some fediverse client apps are paid today.
@youronlyone I don't think they can force the rest of fedi to implement controls on quotes. I do think it's a bad idea to control who can quote post no matter if it's Mastodon or Threads doing it (or even Misskey). But it's just going to be circumvented/ignored easily, like how Masto's "opt-in search" has no effect on Misskey's note search per user.
What fedi really should focus on is controlling replies. And while I have reservations on federating that control, I do believe it's important to give users the power to control how their posts look like in their own instances without having admin privileges. Because it's a (micro)blog.
@DocCarms I think Eisenhower was the closest president after 1947 to be not Zionist. He's probably not an anti-Zionist but he definitely has to at least be a non-Zionist during his time as president. He supported the Arabs in an effort to remove Soviet influence in the Middle East (which didn't succeed unfortunately)
I kinda hate admitting this but Republicans back then were better. Goldwater was the last true Republican before Reaganism took over the GOP. Voting against the Civil Rights Act bill was a fatal mistake for Barry...
