My sister Chelsie is struggling emotionally with potty training her kid, so I edited a popular meme to be more relevant.

our eldest took to using the potty relatively well (heavy emphasis on relatively). Which naturally means our second is going to be an absolute nightmare right?
That's how everything else has gone.

Maybe I should pin a post or add it to the description or something that I'm Jewish Anti-Zionist and don't tolerate the bullshit "criticism of Israel's war crimes is antisemitism" narrative...
Yeah... I think I'm going to add that to the description, because if someone is going to defederate because they think the Israeli government is synonymous with the entire Jewish people, or think they can just conveniently ignore war crimes and colonialism because people on the other side have also done bad things...
Hell, I'll even tag myself in #fediblock if people want to take the trash out for me.

Oh wait, already did... maybe I need to make it more prevalent?
(Edited as based on a reply it was far too easily misread. Previously said "Admin is a Jew" and it never dawned on me that someone could think it meant the admin of the zionist server rather than myself)
i mean this is literally just saying the quiet part out loud isn't it. "blocking this server because the admin is a Jew... err, a Zionist."
amazing that they then have the gall to put a little asterisk next to racism and explain that they don't tolerate dogwhistles. apparently foghorns are okay though.

Not a Zionist, but fairly sure Zionists also acknowledge that Israel has committed lots of war crimes and atrocities.
Obviously your server your rules, but I have found no matter how strenuously you tell people otherwise, people will label you a Zionist as soon as they find your views on Israel politically inconvenient.
I just feel that the people who most need to see that don't read bios and pinned posts.
@raf 🟣 I mean I'm not taking the angle of "don't you dare call me a zionist" but rather that from my side of things modern zionism, especially in the US equates to a fervent belief that Israel is synonymous with Judaism and any criticism of Israel is antisemitic.
This kicked off especially from the fediblock post in which someone was rallying against the EndAntisemitism account for it's labeling of any criticism of Israel's military action in Gaza as antisemitic and the ensuing accusations.
While I think the fediblock post was poorly handled, I do agree with the fundamentals underneath that it's not remotely acceptable to label criticism of the Israeli government to be inherently antisemitic.
Mostly, I'm just cranky and ranting. I'm not worried about being called a Zionist at any point... only time it can maybe happen with my views is if I'm talking to someone who is advocating the immediate abrupt abolition of the country.
As the person who operates the EndAntisemitism account, I feel what it does and how it operates was grossly mischaracterised.
I literally label every post with why I think it's antisemitism. NONE of the reasons are about the military actions taken by the IDF. I stress repeatedly that if a reader disagrees with the report, they can just ignore it.
I criticise the Israeli govt regularly both publicly and privately. But the idea that no criticism of the Israeli government can be antisemitic is absurd and nonsensical.
We used to be mufos so I feel you should have some sense of where I stand on all this bullshit. We live in a world where Ilan Pappe and Norm Finkelstein have both been called Zionists. No one is immune from being called a Zionist and harassed shortly afterwards.
@raf 🟣 Mufos?
Since you're the one running the account I do think it's lacking in detail on those particular callouts then.
To be clear, I've only blocked one person in all of this and that was only a personal block rather than a server block.
I will admit to unfollowing you but there's no spite, we're just somewhat different in values there (ie. we draw the line in different places) and it's less about who you are as a person and really just more about what shows up in my feed (ie. posts you comment on, etc where too much of what was showing up in my feed related to your activity is just on the other side of the line from me)
To be clear, you don't have to justify unfollowing. I'm just more saying we are likely not all the different.
I only have 500 characters on that account and the label set is restricted. So there is some shorthand. When I say "Holocaust inversion" I mean comparing what some Jews are doing to the Holocaust. When I say "Nazi inversion" I mean comparing Jews to Nazis.
Some people don't think that constitutes antisemitism. Some do. I'd like to think people can talk about the atrocities in Gaza without mentioning Hitler and Auschwitz, mostly because the vast majority of people on the network do just that.
I am constantly refining and raising my standards, and I already put in way more effort into each of my reports than most Fediblocks I've seen.
You say those callouts, but Ned did not point to a single callout. And ignored all requests made of him to link directly to a single problematic one.
@raf 🟣 Perhaps in the the description of your account make a note along the lines of "if it's a disputed topic, we err on the side of reporting so that you can make the decision yourself"
I think that clears the air alot

Hey y'all! Say Hi to my delightful sister! @emilie_stims
She's new to the whole fediverse thing and a little overwhelmed. If you want to catch her interest, I recommend talking about birds, ren faire, singing, and folklore as some easy topics!
But do me a favor and let her know how friendly the fediverse is ❤

in reply to Plastic Frog • •@Plastic Frog all of those use AP so there should be negligible issues.
The fun ones are things like setting up the Tumblr or Bluesky addons!

You mention Tumblr and Bluesky addons? How or where does one start?
Thanks for the kind feedback! Very curious now.
To explain better:
1. New-ish to the Fediverse, but complete noob with Friendica (+ Hubzilla).
2. Looking for a "central hub" to interact from to the AT fediverse. Is this what is called a "nomadic ID?" Was told Friendica and Hubzilla are the best for this but HZ makes no sense at all...?
3. Don't want to have an account for every Fediverse-tool / software, but finding it might be needed, as they don't all ecessarily interact well with one another.

in reply to Plastic Frog • • •Go to setting> social networks. You will see the bluesky option. Put in your bluesky and password and other setting and now you never have to log into bluesky and it all comes through your friendica account. Twitter used to have that option, I rarely logged into twitter, but Musk broke the API. I would do that for bluesky but I have yet to have a reason to join it.

Greatness, thanks for the tip! Set it up now, but will have to test and see how and where it comes through on Friendica.
Shiri Bailem
in reply to Plastic Frog • •@Plastic Frog @anubis2814 eventually that add-on will turn into full AT support, plus there is at least one person building an AP/AT bridge as well (which allows the two to talk without the servers having to understand the other protocol).
As far as Tumblr it's the same method as Bluesky, though you can follow Tumblr feeds without a Tumblr account, having the account lets you comment and have some/all your posts mirror to your Tumblr account.
In the same area you see options for all the other platforms I've enabled plugins for (the others I haven't enabled are just because they haven't come up... not that most of those have come up either)

in reply to Shiri Bailem • •@anubis2814 @Plastic Frog As far as the fediverse as a whole:
Most of the time you're talking about platforms that share the ActivityPub protocol (shortened to AP), everything that uses AP can talk to everything else that uses AP (ie. Mastodon, Lemmy, Friendica, Threads).
Bluesky is starting up their own protocol, AT (I forget what it's short for). So it can't talk to anything that's AP and vice versa, at least not without some sort of translation layer inbetween.
Right now the Bluesky addon is a "puppet" addon, meaning it just mirrors and controls a separate Bluesky account... Friendica plans to incorporate AT support more directly which would remove that step. Also, there's things like bridgeyfed that are making bridges. A bridge sits on two networks and translates calls between two protocols (ie. an AP server asks it for posts from an AT user, it just sees the bridge as an instance with that user on it)
The biggest reason to have multiple accounts is just for different experiences. Ie. Friendica (Facebook/Myspace style) is very different from say Pixelfed (Instagram style experience) and Lemmy (Reddit style experience)

in reply to Shiri Bailem • •@shiri thanks so much for the detailed explanation.
Yes, read about the AP / AT protocols before and that there is some poor guy under fire now for trying to bridge the two, though it’s probably inevitable either way. (BridgyFed?)
Basically just curious to see the smaller abilities and limitations between all the Fediverse tools out there.
Have written a post just now with a table. Just a very basic test, but after many hours of back and forth between the different tools, a pattern emerged.
Using different tools for different uses makes sense, like photos or videos or threads, music, etc.
Though very little posting anywhere is done from this side. Just want to be able to follow, like and comment.
So thought maybe there is something like that, and Friendica / Mastodon and others work fine for that with posts and media.
It’s the aggregators that become an issue when following from a different tool.
