To give you ballpark figures. Self-hosting will not save you much compared to that.

Software like Akkoma or GoToSocial will save you some CPU and RAM costs, but are more optimized for smaller instances.

Good opsec includes not endangering other people that might have less good opsec. I am personally not at risk because I don’t live in Germany.

Ugh, another three percentage points more for Chega 😓

And the conversative government is not going to improve the housing problem, which is afaik the main reason why people vote for Chega, immigration is only a secondary reason.

That wasn’t me, but in specific cases where multiple accounts are used for ban evasion or similar stuff that can be justified from a moderation perspective.

And if you do such a bad job that it is easy to guess your sockpuppet accounts then that is really a failure in opsec on your side 😅

No, a good example would have been the Frelimo fight against the Portuguese colonialists in Mozambique that resulted in a declaration of independence and the creation of a new state.

The example of Zimbabwe is is somewhere between that and the relatively reformist transition in South Africa, as Rhodesia (in agreement with their government) briefly reverted to being a British colony on paper to conduct elections which the previous rebel forces won and then formally declared independence from the UK.

I find it highly slanderous to be labled a “Rhodesia lover” for simply stating historical facts. Rhodesia was a racist apartheit state I am absolutly opposed to.

Please stop lying. I never defend Rhodesia in any shape or form. I simply stated that afaik Zimbabwe is considered the successor state by international law and shared some historical facts that you can also read up on the Wikipedia or any history book.

No, the rules here do not suppress such differing opinions as long as they don’t advocate for genocide (or could be easily misinterpreted as such by the german police).

I personally agree that the German government has gone far beyond what would be reasonable in that regard, but feddit.org is not the German government. They simply try to find a minimal set of rules that do not directly endanger them of police raids in Germany and otherwise these are basic rules of respecting human rights.

If you openly endorse such bordering on genocidal positions then no, that would be very likely also a bannable offense.

If you endorse or deny the current ethnic clensing done by the Israelis you will very likely also get banned for that, yes.

I am well aware of that, but that is totally besides the point.

Naja, da gibt es sicher akademischen Disskussionsbedarf, aber derzeit wird die IHRA dazu misbraucht selbst jüdische Kritik an dem verhalten Israels in die antisemitismus Ecke zu schieben, daher braucht es eine gegenläufige Kurskorrektur.

Down votes are public on Lemmy, and your account alone did enough harrassment, but yes I am pretty sure you also have at least two sock puppet accounts you also use to harrass people.

Get a life, you are embarrassing yourself 🤷

Great, so why the big ruckus if you think so?

Nothing stops people from participating on feddit.org communities if they don’t use thinly veiled dogwistles for such or endorse organisations that call for ethnic clensing like Hamas and use slogans popularized by them.

Not relativising or denying the holocaust is hopefully a given, but it seems some people from other instances are also not so clear on that.

The down-vote and reply pattern is clear 🤷

They have been following me around on Lemmy the last couple of hours and called me a fascist and liar among many other falsehoods 🤷

“Forum” is not that clearly defined, Lemmy can also be called a forum as do many other websites. You are just trying to split hairs because you can’t admit that you spend the last couple of hours making a total ass out of yourself 🤷

9 minutes old throwaway account posting a highly distorted version of the actual rules posted 🙄

This was a public website where multiple people had access to post stories and links 🙄 And they got raided because they linked to another (by then officially forbidden) leftist website that also was a kind of forum to share news stories very similar to Lemmy.

Sorry, but I am tired of you trying to twist words in my mouth, the evidence I provided is clear and you just don’t want to admit that this is a real risk in Germany.

What? It literally says that the private homes of the operators of a public website were raided by police and their communication devices confiscated. LITERALLY! Are you completely unable to read and understand basic texts?

You are just wrong. Try to educate yourself. The rebels in Rhodesia signed an official peace agreement with the old apartheit regime, and there was a formal transition of government. Something similar happened in South Africa with the ANC and there some of the previous rulers retained a political party and their successors are now part of a coalition government with the ANC.

I am not in any way endorsing those horrible apartheit regimes, but you are spouting so much factually incorrect non-sense that it is really pointless to discuss any further. I hope for you will never actually talk to someone from southern Africa about this because it would be incredibly embarrising to show so much ignorance.
