  • Sorry, but you are misinterpreting that rule. What I said is perfectly compatible with the rule. The extension that this also applies to Jews is solely to preempt the common "equal rights and the Jews are free to leave" dogwistle.

    And you are highly mistaken that there are no people advocating for the destruction of Israel, in fact it is quite common.

  • Right, people arguing to not expose others to the risk of police raids are "asckually Nazis". You realize how absurd that is? Anne Frank was found during a police raid...

  • How about you start your own instance instead of complaining? πŸ™„

  • I didn't make those laws, and I agree that the German government should make more of a distinction between antisemitism and anti-zionism. But it doesn't and honestly in your above example you could just say:

    β€œZionism is a settler-colonial ideology, and Israel should become a state that provides equal rights for Palestinians”

    An no one would object 🀷

    This singular and persistent focus on the destruction of the (unfortunatly) already existing state of Israel, really makes it likely that many people rather use that as a dogwistle for antisemitism.

  • The admins responsible for the Lemmy instance AFAIK live in Germany.

  • Yes and as I explained already there is a very specific legal reason for that, but this doesn't mean you can't critizise Zionism or call it a terrible settler-colonialist project.

    As for learning from past mistakes... I think you of all people should not throw the first stone there πŸ˜…

  • Fine, I don't know your situation, but there is still the difference that you chose to take that personal risk intentionally, while the feddit.org admins did not.

  • Great, more power to you, but you do realize that this is still quite a different situation? What you are doing is not illegal (for now at least) and you have some control over the risks you personally take.

    Hosting a space for others but still being legally responsible for what they do in that space has different requirements. You would probably also ask people you host to not set up a meth lab in your place.

  • Yes, and you are free to critizise Zionism for that on Feddit.org. The legal problem is not that, but that the German authorities don't play word games and tend to equate Zionism/Israel/Jews as a shortcut and leave it to courts to decide later if that was justified or not.

  • This is false. The German police will contact the Austrian one, who will share the contact details of the persons legally responsible for publication, and if those happen to be residents of Germany, the Austrian laws are irrelevant to what the German police does.

  • Feddit.org was not started as an law-skirting activist space with specific op-sec requirements.

    My impression when talking with the admins is that they are quite sympethatic to such efforts, but simply ask that to be done somewhere else where it is safer for everyone involved.

  • The moderators less likely, but the server admins quite likely, as those are legally responsible for the publication. Where the server is physically located is actually of lesser relevance in that regard.

  • The post literally says that you can critizise that 🀦

    Please understand that there can be some nuance on the topic and that people in Germany are understandably extra careful on the topic.

  • Says the person not at risk of early moring police raids of their home including months long confiscation of all their communication devices and costly legal proceedings to get them back.

  • These laws are AFAIK in Austria similar to those in Germany, and Austrian police will share the contact details of those responsible for publication who happen to be people living in Germany. The server location alone is not the only criteria.

  • Lol, confidently saying stuff you obviously have no idea about and just believing Signal's "trust me bro" nonsense. Have fun using that honeypot.

    (Those "security researchers" you are referring to have no access to the Signal infrastructure and usually only look at the cryptographic algorithms used by Signal, which are indeed good and used by other systems as well these days).

  • This is pretty cool. I hope they will also add GNU Taler support like Flohmarkt itself.

  • This sounds like your IP was listed on some automatic threat vector RTBL that we subscribe to at firewall level. This can sometimes happen with Tor exit nodes and some shady VPNs, and not really something we want to change, sorry.

    In addition SLRPNK uses Anubis to block AI scrapers and that can sometimes cause problems with older or niche browsers, but this would be a problem regardless of the IP.

  • Yeah I wish there was a good answer to that. Floccus at least works ok for bookmarks.

  • A timing attack is extremely realistic when you control one of the end devices which is a common scenario if a person gets arrested or their device compromised. This way you can then identify who the contacts are and with the phone number you can easily get the real name and movement patterns.

    This is like the ideal setup for law inforcement, and it is well documented that honeypot "encrypted" messengers have been set up for similar purposes before. Signal was probably not explicitly set up for that, but the FBI for sure has an internal informant that could run those timing attacts.
