The "Tech Advisory Board", to be clear, which is why they're all people in technology; just saying "the board" implies a board of directors, which would be weird for someone like Steve Huffman as a side hustle.

Interesting. Can you save me a Google/DuckDuckGo search so I don't end up on some sort of list...?

What is ADL?

They are the Anti-Defamation League.
Their stated goal is combatting anti-Semitism, but in practice they mainly target criticism of Israel.

Keeponstalin@lemmy.world · 60 pts · 72d

In practice they are known as the Apartheid Defense League

They also strangely excuse American oligarchs for doing multiple Nazi salutes in public.

Wait a minute, why is it called "Reception" as if it is a romantic comedy starring Meryl Streep?

Lawfare criminals and genocide supporters who abuse the American legal system to harass and attack any critics of Israel and/or anyone who publicly supports Palestinians.

No wonder most r/news topics that serve as proof of Israel's war crimes and inhumane treatment of Palestinians get locked within minutes or hours.

And the whole r/worldnews being a Zionist hellhole.

Spez is nestled in Bibis pocket.

Tell me that Huffman doesn't look like someone who Israel doesn't have tons of compromat.

That explains a lot about reddit.

Maeve@kbin.earth · 6 pts · 71d (1 reply)

Probably a lot about Lemmy's largest instances, as well. Modlogs say it all.

I don't know what you're talking about, but I believe you.

I can't wait for reddit to finish dying

If the plot gets any thicker, it'll turn into concrete.

Solrac@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 71d

Reason enough to exit

spacegoat@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 71d

This is evidenced by Reddit’s automod going overboard on removing many vaguely anti-Israeli comments
