In case you want to report this Zionist hasbara account that posted this reply and blocked me, please feel free to.

(This is their new tactic. The anonymous cowards.)

PS. Be careful, they’re on a German instance, they might block you instead if the admins are pro-genocide also (it’s a very common thing in Germany).

isn't Hydra associated with Nazis? It's interesting that a Hasbara operative would choose a Nazi associated social media handle.
in reply to Aral Balkan

of that instance blocks folks opposed to genocide then #fediblock for that server is needed
in reply to Aral Balkan

yeah - blocked instantly. 😀😀😀 but I got a report in first.

I suspect the instance needs a #fediblock maybe

@JimmyB
@fabio wrote that they’re suspended on mas.to so maybe that’s why you saw it as suspended? If they were suspended and then reinstated on their home server that’s almost even worse than not being suspended at all.
in reply to Aral Balkan

I agree Aral: the idea that someone suspended the account, then took a look at the content and said - Oh, actually that's fine - is horrible. Hopefully not the case.

@JimmyB @fabio This is likely their modus operandi:

1. Reply to post
2. Block the person so they can’t reply
3. After some time, unblock the person so they can follow their posts again to continue the harassment

Rinse, repeat.

in reply to JimmyB (he/him)

@JimmyB @fabio I guess they see nothing wrong with hosting an anonymous antisemitic account harassing people who oppose Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people by posting antisemitic replies and then blocking the person they are replying to.

Probably time to issue a #fediblock for berlin.social for antisemitism.

(These Zionist hasbara accounts are founded on the antisemitic conflation that all Jews are Zionists and thus all Jews support Israel and its ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. You can even see the antisemitic symbolism in the person’s username: hydra.)

@JimmyB @fabio There are people who mention my account and recommend banning me, saying I'm annoying simply because I'm conveying our voice, our suffering, and our extermination. Thank you to everyone who supports us. 🥺🇵🇸❤️🫶🏻

@israajamal @JimmyB @fabio Hi Israa, I don’t see you tagging people in your posts so they have no reason to report you beyond bigotry and hate. We will defend your account if any unfair action is taken against it.
in reply to Aral Balkan

@JimmyB @fabio I'd love it if someone could explain this #fediblock business, how does it work? And how do we in our own accounts block whole instances?
in reply to Aral Balkan

@JimmyB @fabio
I am genuinely afraid for my account because of those who are trying to block and report it.❤️🇵🇸
in reply to Aral Balkan

That is a good warning. I once discovered an openly pedophilic account and reported it to their instance, only to later realize that their entire instance including its admin are pedophiles.
in reply to Aral Balkan

Some other instance. Sorry for the confusion. I just meant to say that I learned my lesson to always first look up the instance before I forward a report to them.

@LukefromDC @fabio We are closely monitoring the account and moderating its posts based on German law as we are required to do. This does not exclude an eventual blocking of the account, but we are not there, yet.
in reply to cepharum

@cepharum @LukefromDC @fabio Do you have a set of moral or ethnical guidelines for your server beyond German law?

Asking as it likely has implications for inclusion in Mastodon’s upcoming recommended servers initiative (CC @haubles) as I’m assuming a server that allows the antisemitic conflation of Zionism with all Jews and the harassment and libel of people who oppose genocide with bot-like behaviour that includes replying to threads and then blocking the original author would not be allowed.

Remember that legal does not mean moral or ethical. Slavery was legal in the US. The Holocaust was legal in Nazi Germany.

in reply to Aral Balkan

@LukefromDC @fabio @haubles Our guidelines are not beyond German law, but in line with it as the German law is anything but alike the law of Nazi Germany as you try to imply.
in reply to cepharum

@cepharum @LukefromDC @fabio @haubles Not implying anything. Just saying that “legal” is a very low bar for the fediverse.

And Germany is the second largest arms dealer to Israel and thus complicit in Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. So apologies if I don’t have too much trust in it protecting the interests of genocide victims today.

in reply to Aral Balkan

I hope I'm wrong, but given the overeager laws (or interpretations thereof) in Germany, I wonder if Fediverse instances banning trolls or spammers who claim to be Jews run the risk of being labelled "antisemitic"?

@cepharum @LukefromDC @fabio @haubles

in reply to Aral Balkan

@cepharum @LukefromDC @fabio @haubles Agreed - an instance that is not going beyond "Is it legal" is not really doing their job.

Aral Balkan reshared this.

in reply to cepharum

@cepharum @LukefromDC @fabio @haubles There is a difference between what is written and how a state behaves. You claim the laws are 'anything but alike,' yet Germany’s current role as a major arms supplier to a genocide shows that in practice, the state's (and your, for that matter) legal and ethical bar for protecting humanity hasn't shifted as much as you'd like to believe.
in reply to Aral Balkan

Happy to see that berlin.social has gone above and beyond what is required by German law to suspend an anonymous and antisemitic Zionist account (@hydra4455@berlin.social) that was engaged in harassing people voicing their opposition to Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people on the fediverse.

This account is just one of many following the same tactic of replying to posts with Zionist memes before blocking the original poster (so they can’t reply, etc.) and then unblocking them later so they can continue their harassment. (Rinse, repeat.) They will, no doubt, create new accounts on different servers. Please be vigilant and report + block on sight.

Germans love being complicit with genocide. They proof it again and again.
