Some comrades over at Hexbear have organized a donation drive for Palestine and, over the past few weeks, have managed to raise over $1500 for verified Palestinian fundraisers. The fediverse is a good place full of good people.

hexbear.net is an explicitly and unapologetically instance of Lemmy. They’re known for their active userbase, light trigger on banning Zionist, transphobic or even pro-western content (which angers many people who live in the west), and their love for beanis
You guys are so weird. Russia is awful for non-cis people and you’re all falling over yourselves simping for them.
Nobody simps for Russia over in Hexbear, internal policy is terrible, but the fact is that it’s been forced by the west to adopt many anti-imperialist policies, which communists are right to offer CRITICAL support
Got it. Everything is the west’s fault. Very nuanced.
Not everything, but as things stand, most things yeah. It’s what happens when you concentrate power for 100 years in one or two capitalist nations.
To you, “nuance” simply means “other nations must be even worse, look, I saw it on my western disinformation”
You’re the one who keeps dick measuring countries. I call out specific bad actions, regardless of who commits them.
It’s okay though, the west made you post that message.
I’m not “dick measuring” countries, you just systematically perform western-biased analysis of what are good and what are bad actions. For instance, you’d criticise the Chinese internet firewall or the Russian support to Assad, when the realistic alternatives are measurably worse. It seems that “lesser evil” to you guys is something that only applies to western genocidal maniacs and not to actually significantly different nations.
I wasn’t thinking about the Chinese internet firewall at the moment, but you bring up a good point - that’s a bad thing. What’s the alternative, internet freedom where china can’t police the media and public discourse?
Sucks how the west makes china censor it’s citizens.
The alternative is “free speech” dominated by western tech oligarchs in platforms subjected to intelligence monitoring and constant western interference. It’s exactly these things leading to murderers like Bolsonaro and Milei being elected.
