I hope I will not get downvoted because I'm genuinely wondering

Lemmy almost has no users from neither Israel or Palestine, however most of communities filled with Anti Israel content, I even tried muting all news related communities, but now I see anti Israel content in completely unrelated communities, like !android@lemmy.world and !memes@sopuli.xyz

Is there a reason why Lemmy is so fixated on Israel/Palestine? Neither of other world conflicts get even close in terms of attention. It's neither a case on my microblogging Fediverse account or my most "algoritmic" social media, even kbin part of the Threadiverse seems not as obsessed with it, what's so different about Lemmy?

(Sorry for a bit clickbait-y title)

Edit: I actually might take down this post because half of people in replies completely misunderstood it

Maybe. Why? Does it bother you if people call out Israel?

[-] Fitik@fedia.io 0 points 11 months ago

Not really, there's a lot of propoganda online so it's completely understandable to me

I do find it concerning tho when a person first says that I should stop saying "bullshit" and then goes on as far to stalk my profile for my past posts

Well, in my defence, a lot of what you are saying IS bullshit.

I had a look into it and have to say: you got a point. OP still has to learn some things, but where's life there is hope.

It's funny because in the post they said that anti Israeli content bothers them, but they claim it doesn't. I think it bothers them a lot. But what should bother them more is apartheid in Israel and genocide in the name of the Jewish people.
