but I’m curious how you expect Gazans to sing peace’s praises

I don’t, I only answered your question (“How is UNRWA perpetuating anything?”). Most of which was quoted from an article I linked.

I’m not the original poster you originally replied to. I actually agree with what you say about Israel perpetuating the conflict too, probably more. But UNRWA is undeniably doing its part too.

They teach antisemitism and terrorism.

I’ve found this article that talks about it (among some other reasons), though I’ve also seen it on other sites.

A recent report by the watchdog group IMPACT-se highlighted that UNRWA’s educational materials, based on the Palestinian Authority (PA) curriculum, contain antisemitic content and celebrate violence and martyrdom-jihadist culture.

UNRWA has a significant position in educating almost 545,000 Palestinian children across the Middle East.

The IMPACT-se report examined educational materials used in UNRWA schools, particularly in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem, where the PA curriculum is adopted.

The PA curriculum, which has been under scrutiny since its 2016 revision, is found to contain – like it did before its revision – antisemitic content and the promotion of violence, jihad, and ‘martyrdom’ culture, while omitting teachings of peace and coexistence. UNRWA, while not producing its own curriculum, supplements the host country’s curriculum with additional materials. Despite pledges to counter-act calls for violence by UNRWA, the report found a disturbing failure to do so.

More than 80 UNRWA teachers and staff across more than 30 schools have been caught distributing hateful content in their textbooks.

According to UN Watch: “Teachers and schools at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which runs education and social services for Palestinians, regularly call to murder Jews, and create teaching materials that glorify terrorism, encourage martyrdom, demonize Israelis and incite antisemitism.”

Probably american-based like the other commenter says. The American left is the global center-right iirc.

Hey @ernest

I just noticed that, while kbin supports Lemmy-style spoilers, it seems like actual spoilers federated from Lemmy don’t appear as spoilers on kbin yet. Are you aware of that?

For reference, here’s a thread where I tested this with my lemm.ee test account.

The federated spoiler just displays in plain text still.

that blocks your bank or even some games if your phone is rooted

That’s your bank and those games, not Google.

The games are obviously afraid of cheating/hacking. For the bank it’s about your account’s security. Root access gives a lot of power to potentially malicious actors, it’s definitely not weird for them to not work if your phone is rooted.

Antitrust is about powerful companies abusing their powerful positions. With powerful I mean control over a market.

The idea is that if society is functionally dependent on a product, it shouldn’t be the case that the owning company abuses that position to force people into walled gardens.

While it’s of course still bad if a smaller company does it, the amount of people impacted will be lesser, so it’s not seen as critically important to take action against it. So that’s why antitrust laws only target the big ones.

I do absolutely disagree with Apple not being big enough though. iOS has a 30% market share in the mobile OS market according to statcounter, that ought to be big enough imo.

Go to the Magazines tab in the top bar and then there’s a collections tab on the page that opens.

Hey @ernest, I noticed that the new comment markers are rather hard to see on some themes. They work perfectly on the Tokyo Night theme, but did you test them on others? This is how it looks for me using the Dark theme. I also tried the Light theme with the same issue.

edit: Forgot to mention, I did turn off all my userscripts and custom css.

Regarding the spoilers, are you aware that federation with Lemmy doesn’t seem to work yet?

Lemmy spoilers still don’t work for me, and if I look at /kbin spoilers from a Lemmy instance, it appears as

<details><summary>Ah, and I would have forgotten.  
</summary>that should work too.
</details>

That’s a lot of information, I’m personally most excited for the spoiler support and the /sub refinements. I never really see any posts from users I follow because they get drowned out by the magazines I’m subscribed to. So this made me hold back with following users so far.

What’s the “experimental platform navigation mode”?

deleted by creator

I looked through the codeberg commits and this is what I could gather:

• Threads about the same article in multiple magazines are grouped together

• Users can apply to be mods

• Abandoned magazines can be taken over

• Global/instance moderators

• Accounts can be temporarily suspended

• Magazine deletion

• Comment textbox is at the top by default and can be moved

• Magazine CSS can be disabled

• Edited posts and comments are marked like on Reddit

• API

• Blocked magazines are filtered out of the dropdown when creating a new thread

• Microblog posts can be pinned

• Maximum character limits are displayed

• Show Password button

• The ‘boost’ text is colored when active

• Account deletion button is more clear and obvious

• Federation page listing defederated instances

  • Seems to not be enabled on kbin.social yet though?

• Removed the “how to use the editor” button as it wasn’t doing anything

• Users can request their account activation email be resent

• Users can customize the site’s CSS in their settings

• New option to disable avatars in comments

• Improved email styling

• Robots.txt (policy for search engine crawlers and chatgpt)

• Logged out users cannot initiate federation with new users and magazines anymore

• 2FA

• Clearer wording for the direct link copy options

• edit: New “open original url” option to directly open the url in a new tab rather than just copying the link

• new: Optional Turbo mode, which changes the site so it has the speed of a single-page web application

I still use Reddit, I didn’t move here because I was pissed at apps going away (never used them anyway), just wanted to familiarize myself before I’ll be forced to move when they inevitably remove old reddit in the future.

There’s still communities important to me that either only exist on Reddit or have way too little engagement here. Until they remove old reddit or that changes, I’ll stay on reddit. But I’m doing my part by having disabled ads on reddit (I had them enabled before the third party app stuff).

I know of https://sub.rehab/ for finding fediverse alternatives to subreddits, but no idea about a more generalized use case site.

It doesn’t look to be 0.18.0 (.1 is supposed to not have issues anymore iirc, that’s why I’m specifying .0).

This command was brought up in regards to the lemmy.ml issue:
curl -I --user-agent "kbinBot v0.1" https://lemmy.ml/u/test

When the lemmy.ml is replaced with any instance running 0.18.0, it’ll give an OK response. With lemmy.ml it gives a Forbidden response.

But with lemdro.id I get an Internal Server Error.

The instance claims to be super fast, maybe they forked and optimized the code and broke federation in the process?

Edit: Also they’re on 0.18.1 anyway, so yeah, it’s not the usual issues.
