Supposing that the mod is using the “german definition”, there is still the issue of hosting an incredibly popular instance. In online places where a huge influx of non-german users live, I’d argue that it should be treated like a public place where free speech is granted. How am i supposed to understand the cultural realities of Germany if I live thousands of miles away from it? Am I supposed to tone down my right to free speech just because they’ve treated their subjective experience as a universal law?
But I like that on Lemmy, I’m seeing diverse discussion on German/Austrian law. I don’t get to see that on other prominent platforms, which tend to favor wikipedia-type discourse that often ends with american pop history/culture inferences.
Some apostates are still in iran. Not all of them landed lucrative projects in regime change think-tanks. This is why I don’t trust America and its eager bloodthirsty soldiers to liberate any of my cities. For warmongers, war is just a way to quell boredom and to sacrifice civilian lives in the name of pretentious logic.
