There is no such thing as a good (or likeable) billionaire. Forbes says Newell has a net worth of $9.5 billion US dollars. Imagine all the good he could do with that money (with regards to hunger, poverty, access to medicine, education) but instead he uses it to do stupid shit like this.

As far as I know he's not a Nazi like Leon so he's got that going for him I guess.

Blocking an instance only blocks the communities hosted on the instance, not the users of the instance.

What are you hoping to accomplish by creating all these accounts and posting the same nonsense? You're not going to make the mods here mad; deleting your post and banning you from the community is like two clicks and takes like 10 seconds. All you're going to do is get the admins of the instance you're abusing to require approval for accounts and this will hurt people who would like to make an account there for a valid reason.

Tl;dr Israel sucks and so do you.

Maybe I've been looking at the wrong communities but I've been really surprised with the amount of sympathy for this monster on Lemmy.

Sometimes it can be difficult to separate the art from the artist, particularly when the artist in question is especially vile.

Just pirate their music. Don't stream it, don't go to their concerts, don't buy and wear their merch. As long as you're not financially contributing to them then I don't think there's any issue.

It also, like CaptainPedantic said, matters what they're singing about. If the artist has shitty views but doesn't present them in their music that's one thing but there's no ethical way to listen to something called Heil Hitler.
