The Israeli rescue service Zaka says its paramedics removed more than 260 bodies from a music festival that came under attack by Hamas militants.
The total figure of bodies found is expected to be higher, as other paramedic teams were also working in the area and Zaka added that the bodies “haven’t all been collected yet”.
Early on Saturday morning, Hamas targeted Nova music festival, a techno rave in the desert near the border with Gaza.
Videos shared on social media and by Israeli news outlets showed dozens of festival-goers running through an open field as gunshots rang out. Many hid in nearby fruit orchards or were gunned down as they fled.
If you browse all from a federated instance, you will see plenty of lemmy.ml threads filled with all manner of disgusting appetite for cruelty, because the mods are banning any and all pushback. Whether or not you choose to acknowledge it, this will be (and to a large extent already is) associated with the fediverse sooner or later, considering it is the “main” dev instance, and one of the largest communities. This has just been a particularly egregious example of - again - the main, high profile dev instance, pretty openly tolerating horrific things while removing even the most mild, reasonable dissent.
If you don’t believe me, just browse the mod log for the past few hours.
Note that “the Fediverse” consists of multiple platforms. Not just Lemmy. So no, this will not be a Fediverse mask-off moment. Perhaps a Lemmy mask-off moment, but definitely not the entire Fediverse.
Exactly. Mastodon is doing just fine, depending on who you follow.
100% - the developers themselves seem to be openly pro-terrorist. How can any person support lemmy, at all, if that is the case?
I am very disappointed in lemmy today.
If you check the modlog for this community on LW, you may notice a removal of a top post for the mediabiasfactcheck of the source… which apparently places it too close to center with no failed fact checks, or something.
Isn’t this supposed to work with up votes and down votes?
