dbzer0 has an issue with a policy that most mods on feddit.org agree on. Basically, whether it’s allowed to say things like “Death to Israel” (which German law considers hatespeech); people who don’t allow that are nazis and zionists in their view.
I mean, if you’re trying to avoid legal prosecution shutting down your instance, it’s pretty reasonable to, you know, obey the laws of the country you live in.
The fuck are you on about? We’re heavily critical of laws, capitalism, censorship and all. We’re critical of imperialism in all forms too, whether Russian, Chinese, US or Israeli. We know the reasons, and we’re not happy about it. Our meme community (ich_iel, originally a German twin of me_irl) is left-leaning enough that its sister community (wir_iel, literally we_irl) for communist memes is more of a subset than an actually separate community.
The instance owners just don’t wanna be held criminally liable for shit people post on it, so they take down comments that call for the death of Israel or otherwise become offensive beyond reasonable doubt. They’re volunteers providing a platform for discussion, information and memes.

As we all know, Germans must comply with the law. Certainly couldn’t ever have laws that go wrong. Just comply in advance and don’t ask questions.

Obey all laws, be a good German and comply. Do not ask questions about it, just follow your orders.

What would you have the admins / mods do instead?
Obey your laws, report any thought crime the German government doesn’t like. Follow your orders like a good worker, need ask questions.
