    1. I don’t agree. Its anti-Zionism. You can be against Zionism but not hate Jews and allow their land somewhere else.

    2. It is de facto. Hate speech, which the government will twist as having Nazi origins.

    3. I am reading up the specifics, because of defining what Volksverhetzung is and what not its vague. But I understand its hard for admins to define the line and imaging having to evaluate every post of every user

    4. There was an debate on @lemmy.dbzer0.com

    5. The second law of NetzDG (don’t know what to call it else).

    “A second law, which is in an earlier stage, aims to make it easier for users to report illegal content and challenge content decisions by internet platforms.”

    I agree that they don’t request themselves, but they ought to remove and report the content. What content is vague but a lot of things could easily be interpreted as hate speech by the authorities.

    “German Penal Code explicitly prohibits hate speech, defined broadly as any expression that denigrates or vilifies individuals based on attributes such as race, ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation.”

    1. I don’t think so. But this is what other users are claiming about @feddit.org. Hence my post.

    Its not my opinion but this was my reasoning on why @feddit.org chose their instance rules and why some people are mad about it.



  • Feddit.org instance is hosted in Austria but enforces German policies/law stating its illegal to question the statehood of Israel. Critism of the Gaza war/genocide, governmental issues etc are allowed I think. You just can’t say Israel should/must not exist (when you agree with that, you are a “Zionist”) or all Jews should be removed/killed/dead (antisemitism), things like that. Both are illegal under German law. Most of your instance and some other instances and users are against feddit.org for this reason.

    My take is because almost all of their (feddit.org users, as OP is registered on) users are German (and atleast German speaking) citizens it makes moderating and request from authorities not a pain in the ass. How do you differate from a German speaking user/ post in german if they could be from Austria, Switzerland, Luxembourg, living somewhere else? So they went with complying with German law (that’s how I understand this drama)

    Think what you think of it but that’s it in a nutshell.
