I hope I will not get downvoted because I'm genuinely wondering

Lemmy almost has no users from neither Israel or Palestine, however most of communities filled with Anti Israel content, I even tried muting all news related communities, but now I see anti Israel content in completely unrelated communities, like !android@lemmy.world and !memes@sopuli.xyz

Is there a reason why Lemmy is so fixated on Israel/Palestine? Neither of other world conflicts get even close in terms of attention. It's neither a case on my microblogging Fediverse account or my most "algoritmic" social media, even kbin part of the Threadiverse seems not as obsessed with it, what's so different about Lemmy?

(Sorry for a bit clickbait-y title)

Edit: I actually might take down this post because half of people in replies completely misunderstood it

Are you stalking my profile now lol?

[–] snek@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Maybe. Why? Does it bother you if people call out Israel?

[–] Fitik@fedia.io 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not really, there's a lot of propoganda online so it's completely understandable to me

I do find it concerning tho when a person first says that I should stop saying "bullshit" and then goes on as far to stalk my profile for my past posts

[–] snek@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Well, in my defence, a lot of what you are saying IS bullshit.

Most really just dislike "the West" for its own misdeeds and interpret that as a cue to say "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". This is a false way of going about themselves, especially considering the revelations about Palestine lately revolving crimes of mass violation, which are similar to what the perpetrators of the Nanjing Massacre did.

There is no shame in being deceived, but considering how I was treated for it all, I'll be taking great relative pride in saying to everyone "I told you so", just like I can do for Ukraine. Still don't understood how anyone can say they're pro-LGBT and not have at least a little respect for Israel or its people.

It also makes it misleading many of the people doing this siding identify as misanthropes when they like a whole faction of humanity enough to side unconditionally with them. A true misanthrope, by definition, sides with nobody. Take it from me. I have my reasons.

The Fediverse is heavily far left-leaning. The far left is anti-Israel, and thus so are most Fediverse users.

[–] Fitik@fedia.io 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I know it is, however I'm talking about communities that have no relation with politics, news, Israel or Palestine

[–] BaldProphet@kbin.social -1 points 11 months ago

Oh, I see. My guess is poor moderation.
