So it's just a coincidence that they ended up killing their competitors? Yeah right.

Then why did they once support XMPP?

First, you’re going to need some sort of evidence to back up this claim.

It's in their interest to exaggerate, and they are under the control of a terrorist organization.

Second, Hamas isn’t who is publishing these numbers.

My understanding is that the only people tracking & publishing the numbers is the Palestinian health ministry, which is under the control of Hamas. Everyone else is just saying "Gaza's health ministry said X" and such.

Yeah. Definitely place sole blame on hamas instead of the people intentionally bombing civilians.

Dude, I am this 🤏 close to being banned in another community for daring to say that the current event is a genocide of palestinians.

I'm not denying anything, let alone for the sake of convenience. I'm not apathetic. All I'm saying is, is that the current numbers are probably not completely accurate.

I also explicitly said that the current estimate is probably not far off.

I never said defeating them or out competing them should be the goal. The goal should be the survival of services. And corporations will kill these services.

So what?

People are posting fan fiction of them together? That's disgusting! Where? I need to make sure I avoid it.

Keeping users siloed in Facebook’s garden shouldn’t be seen as a win for us.

Sometimes the only winning move is not to play. If people hadn't federated with google's XMPP back in the day, google wouldn't have had the same level of control it had to kill XMPP as a competitor.

We need to learn from the lessons of the past, and the past has resulted in the deaths of services when federating with corporations.

And for those that don't:

I haven't heard anything from a third party, and no doubt hamas is exagerating to some degree, but whatever the actual numbers are, I wouldn't think the current estimate of ~20,000 is far off. Israel is intentionally bombing civilians, so the estimated number sounds fairly reasonable to me.

Easier to confirm, is the proportion of women & children. About half the population of Palestine is children, and about half are women. So ~75% being women or children also fits.

It may not be much in comparison to others, but that doesn't make absolve me of my debt. Practically every other developed nation has this figured out, it's long past time we caught up.

I've got about $25,000 reasons why it is not in fact better.

Scholarships that only exist in the first place because we have privatized higher education, which is privatized because of greed.

Greed

Ah, I see. Imgur had it muted and I just didn't realize.

The sound effect makes it way better

It'll look like what we already have. Swaths of users self hosting, with lots of redundancy to deal woth instances that have problems.

And that might mean it needs to stay small, but that's OK. Not all success is measured in popularity.

Most of those deaths happen due to the lack shelters and lack of places where people can hide.

..and the bombs landing on their heads.

If Israel wanted to genocide Palestinians, they would have done it in a week.

Not all genocides are done with equal fervor.

Also, they would not have to be dead if Hamas didn’t start this.

This was started in 1948 when Palestinians were forced from their homes. Playing a game of "who started it" doesn't justify anything.

it’s more of an approach where they no longer try as much to limit civilian causalities as much as possible.

Yeah... almost like they are totally OK with killing civilians (genocide).

Embrace extend extinguish

Don't federate with corps, it will only end badly
