Genuine question: Is there a part of you that fears that by blocking dissenting voices, you may be reinforcing your filter bubble?

Right before October 7th, Israel was in the midst of a huge political upheaval because of the looming judicial overhaul. Gantz was the leader of the opposition, and the main political rival of Netanyahu. The country was extremely divided, almost verging on civil war.

Right after October 7th, Israelis were focused on unity, survival, and combatting Hamas, Hezbollah, and other threats.

Gantz joined the war cabinet mostly to signal that whatever disagreements he and his party have with Netanyahu [of which there are many], he still prioritizes national unity in the face of existential threat.

This unity was fragile, and by now the political infighting in Israel is back in full swing.

The trailer for the series is full of comments criticizing Peacock (the publisher) for releasing this documentary and saying they'll delete their Peacock accounts.

I've never heard of them before and I might open an account specifically to watch this! It looks genuinely good from the trailer

My friend, I will give you the benefit of doubt and believe you when you say that this post's purpose was to make fun of how shitty Twitter's community notes are, and that is indeed an important topic to shed light on, so people won't treat community notes as reliable.

However,

You can rest assured that a significant portion of the people who saw this post believed it as straight fact.

It is impossible to overstate how gullible people on the internet are, and how readily they will straight up believe conspiratorial BS, especially surrounding controversial topics like Israel.

That's how Poe's law works, and it is attitudes like yours that don't take this shit seriously that end up inadvertently contributing to an environment full of libelous antisemitic conspiracies on the internet.

I beseech you to carefully consider this stuff if you ever plan to post such a thing again.

On July 8, 1499, soldiers of the Duke of Gelderland entered the Utrecht city of Rhenen and set fire to houses. In this way the duke tried to expand his power. But his attack failed and the Gelderland troops withdrew.

 
 
 
 
 
 

I'm on the market to buy a new laptop, and Lemmy has successfully coaxed and goaded me to give Linux a serious try.

I've never used *nix as my personal OS.

Which hardware/laptop do you recommend? And which OS to pair it with for a Linux newbie?

I'm a software engineer, and quit my job to pursue an MSc in AI. So my uses will be:

  • programming
  • study
  • browsing lemmy
  • gaming
