    I’ve alway been loudly against the Gaza Geocide, and when I was a user in lemmy.world my registration e-mail was leaked to Israel and a Tel-Aviv based organization sent me via it an invitation for a “learn about Israel” online event, in my mother language.

    Since only an admin has access to user registration information like that, I can only conclude that lemmy.world’s administration has at least one person working for Israel.

    Further, at least one of the moderators of news@lemmy.world has admitted elsewhere of being a Zionist.

    Already back in the peak of the Gaza Genocide there was a lot of suppressing of news about Israeli attacks on civilians in the most subscribed forums in there and still now it’s pretty common in lemmy.world forums to have moderators censor criticism of Israel by claiming it’s “anti-semitism”.

    So this is no surprise at all. In fact I myself was only surprised by, yesterday, seeing the post with that picture in a big lemmy.world forum long enough to already have over 100 upvotes - judging by this post here, guess that the people in lemmy.world in charge of making sure such things are suppressed were asleep when that post was made.

      The censorship thing is what I’ve noticed as well since the start of their instance. There are bookmarks that I’ve saved that are no longer available. They seem to be using the reddit way of letting things run their course and then remove it when things settle down and people move on to next thing, so no records remain. Fortunately, some instance do save some snippets.

      I’ve also been warning users that they’re behind cloudflare and all data between users and the server is decrypted in clear text, but it seems no one’s paying attention. I wouldn’t be surprised if people from reddit are behind it.

      Use it to browse memes and cat pictures but never for politics and messaging. A temporary mail would be better too.
