I was just informed by one of the admins that I have 14 days to leave functional.cafe after I called a troll doing genocide apologia in my comments a zionist ape, where should I go? What servers don't bow to the complaints of ?

Functional.cafe are claiming I'm simply a multiple offender of their rules, which i will admit is true ever since they changed their rules, but I would like for it to be clear. They changed their rules in October specifically to accommodate Zionists complaining about my posts, the very day a tagged post of mine blew up and became among the most shared BDS posts on the activity pub network. I initially agreed to CW political posts, but as 's in has accelerated, killing all but one of my students in Gaza along with most of their families, I've concluded that hiding this behind content warnings is itself bowing to mild repression for the sake of satisfying the demands of the most extreme oppression: genocide.

I've seen plenty of pro-genocide posts in the local server feed. I dont think they are being asked to leave or even getting their posts censored, as mine increasingly have been (even removing posts with many likes from months ago, apparently on demand).

I'm sad I'll be losing all my past posts, especially those about and that I occasionally rediscover. Where can I go that won't turn similarly sour? My time with the may be up tbh. After being blocked and soft-blocked by nearly everyone I was buddies with in the community (for years!) for being an anti-genocide Jew, and now this, its quite clear that even spaces that act like they stand for universal liberties above all are actually willing supporters of the most oppressive regimes and ideologies on the planet. At least insofar as they are in origin and character.

Call me crazy but if you join a tech server, post only about tech until the most brutal violence since WWII emerges, which your posts turn towards as people you have known for a long time are killed alongside their families, one after the other, the server kicking you out is the enforcer of repression, even if they do so all while paying customary lip service to condemning the oppressor. That its a libertarian free speecg fundamentalist who is doing the repression is so incredibly typical. Absolutely vapid ideology, we communists are infinitely more committed to liberty than those who merely brand their personal interests with it.

@ramin_hal9001 do you know of any tool that will scrape all my posts without me having to figure it out myself?

Zionists dont have to troll me in my comments believe it or not. I did not go and find that guy myself, he found me. He came and started posting about how oppressed Jews are in Brooklyn — which is grotesquely absurd, equivalent to white genocide narratives — in order to defend the genocide of Palestinians. That is beyond the pale in my books... especially as a brooklynite Jew who is sure beyond any reasonable doubt that we aren't one of the oppressed minorities of NYC. If you seriously care about the oppression Jews have suffered throughout history, you should be well aware that the violence that black people, east and west Asians, latinos and Muslims as a whole suffer in the city is comparable to what our grandparents experienced before WWI in Europe, which you should also know is incomparable to anything we or our parents experienced growing up (my father's shul was bombed in one of the worst antisemitic terror attacks in US history growing up, so I dont want to hear about how its so much worse than I acknowledge)

Not sorry I called him an ape. If you stoop to such ridiculous lows and expect strangers to buy it, to acknowledge that your intelligence is comparable to that of a primate is to give you the benefit of the doubt tbh.

@shakil_tcs yeah I need to do that, the problem with me and blogging is that I have this humanities academic ocd wrt to publishing, where everything has to be expressed correctly when I feel like I'm leaving the zone of simple discourse for my writing proper, and have never been able to overcome it and treat a blog more like I do Mastodon. Maybe its time to get back on it.

Ever since its inception by means of ethnic cleansing, has remained by far the most dangerous place on Earth for to live, at least insofar as the Zionist settler-colony remains in tact (I will literally immigrate to the State of Palestine when its dismantled, the sooner the better). insistence that without colonizing we're in danger of another is the most pernicious veiled threat I can imagine to come from those who committed some of the worst crimes in all of human history against us.

In what remains imo the deepest reflections in the field of Holocaust [1], Rebbe Yoel Teitelbaum reminds us that we were exiled from not because of Roman antisemitism, but as a punishment by G-D for becoming the perpetrators of שנאת חנם (shinayt khinaym, baseless hatred) as sovereigns. Our entire religion after is predicated on an eventual messianic return, which was never really about a return to the land where the children of Yishroelites once lived, but a return to a life where we're no longer defined by hate, either as perpetrators or as a dispersed minority religion. Which is precisely why Rabbi Akiva tells us that in the messianic everything is as it is now -- yet different; if you believe you're waiting for a return to a place rather than redemption, that is placing your will in the place of the will of HaShem, and it is always ultimately peace and mutual respect for the stranger that is willed by HaShem. The messianic is not a state in Palestine, but the universal recognition of HaShem as the singular sovereign, the surrender of the world to divine law. Thats the whole of our Toyrah HaKoydesh, the rest is just exegesis.

Satmar Rebbe elaborates on this by demonstrating that the project is in fact Avodah Zarah (usually translated as "idol worship" but really its more "serving the obscure"), the practice of the "avodei hakovachim" (star worshippers) where Zarah in the Talmud is evoked specifically in discussions of how to conduct one's self in relation to the Roman and Babylonian empires. "Star worshippers" was literal (and a telling analogy; even if you serve the highest being that appears in your world, you're still serving things rather than the ineffable truth of the Name). Teitelbaum shows, through a comparative study of the invented language of Israeli Hebrew, that it is in fact a vehicle for the Romanization of Hebrew, a kind of deep imperial strategy to replace the symbolic apparatus of our lashoyn hakoydesh and its entire universe of meaning with the language of war, nationalism (goyish) and hatred.

And to what effect? Satmar Rebbe tells us that the tachlis of the state is to ensure the lives of the population remain in perpetual danger in order to methodically affirm the necessity of its military apparatus wrt to protection. And that has been so-called 's entire game since day 1.

The recent fascination with Second Temple Judaism among Youtubers is a ultimately a fascination with hatred. Judaism after the second temple is far deeper and richer, and explicitly opposed to racism, chauvinism, imperialism and most of all: nationalism ("goyish")

@pkal, anytime I hit the manual for some specific part of emacs I find out how easy it is to write a script that accomplishes what I'm really looking for versus the relatively large package I use lol

Zionists seem pretty ready to pull out of despite securing 0 territory and accomplishing none of their goals beyond murdering more children in a few months than in perhaps any other conflict in history. is in a crisis it will never recover from, because its an international crisis of legitimacy, rather than one that can be remedied with massive aid packages.

has done everything to make uninhabitable (as their officials have stated plainly many times now), destroying the vast majority of housing, infrastructure, hospitals and wells, while displacing 2 million people who have no homes to go back to. They haven't been able to hold any patch of land from resistance offensives for more than a week. It seems like they thought they could "mow the law for the last time" as Israelis have been discussing it, but then Yemen caused more problems then even the US and Britain could deal with, so now they're planning to leave and act like it was just another skirmish, while a monument to the worst siege bombardment since the Nazi siege of Leningrad lies just 45 minutes from Tel Aviv.

Call me crazy, but if these are the costs associated with them living in Palestine, and they insist that they deserve to run the only proper ethnostate in the world, maybe its time NATO gives them which has proven incapable of persisting without becoming senior partners in genocide at the expense of the lives and livelihoods of semitic peoples. It will be a win/win for both sides: The philosemitic common German gets to live under a Jewish state and if Israel does to what they're currently doing to Palestinians, I'm sure we would all agree its deserved and support Deutsche Zion enthusiastically.

about every two years I ditch my init.el and build back up from scratch, and every time it feels great. I'm finally breaking off from org-roam which, for all the good its done me, has become a thorn in my side due to the centralized store. about to give a try, which I've been interested in for a while now.

learning via @ramin_hal9001's presentation a couple years ago at conf

@mousebot I'm starting to today. I feel like org has this amazing user interface, but its way too complicated. I want something simpler, and easy to parse and accurately convert to other formats because its all simple syntax. Still just learning hyperbole.

@dekkzz76 @ramin_hal9001

theres a tutorial if you do M-x hyperbole-demo

rml,
@rml@functional.cafe avatar

@otfrom @mousebot I think while denote would satisfy my short-term desires, hyperbole seems like a nice match of simplicity and flexibility and will integrate with more varied workflows. but we'll see.

@rml@functional.cafe avatar

@ramin_hal9001 @dekkzz76 I'm also digging the emphasis on "buttons" as a more generic concept than "link", where a button can trigger any elisp function... its simple but its already got me thinking of some ideas

@zyd @ramin_hal9001 @dekkzz76 yep! Imagine like your minibuffer pops up to drop a hyperlink but its everything emacs has to offer.

And with zettlekasten-like usage, it keeps a "rolodex" of all your notes instead of its own database, so you can link to files anywhere on your machine, not just whats in the org-roam folder/poorDB/whatever. Thats the main thing I cant do any more, having all my notes stuck in this org database has caused me tons of annoyances.

@otfrom @mousebot have you tried committing to not trimming it all for 8 weeks? I thought I couldn't grow a full beard until I did.

rml,
@rml@functional.cafe avatar

@otfrom @mousebot its tough. around 6 weeks I was ready to through in the towel and regain my dignity, but my partner encouraged me to keep with it, and like a week or so later it was suddenly a proper beard. The inverse of the "after how many hairs plucked is a person considered bald" problem, and with real effects.
