LemmyLeft has a purity test where you must wish death and destruction upon Israel and Jewish people. If you refuse to do so, or have the gall to remove posts that do so, you are a genocidal zionist nazi fascist.

It’s not enough to hold the opinion that the Gaza situation is bad and Israel should back off. It’s not enough to say “free Palestine”. The purity test is that you must actively encourage violence towards Jewish people. Considering how big presence actual neo-nazis have on fediverse, I’d be cautious about boarding that train if I were you.

It’s the “anarchist” (they’re not really anarchist) subs pushing this narrative, with a whole lot of useful idiots following suit.

Yes

Also quite literally go touch grass. Take a friend with you. Don’t take devices if you’re worried.

An average hard-line lefty instance that’s pretending to be Anarchist, except that they don’t actually follow Anarchist ideals and the admins decide what kind of Anarchism is “real Anarchism”. The only flavor difference from most (Lefty) instances is that they welcome AI generated stuff, which is overwhelmingly hated on Lemmy.

My favorite part is how their own Golden Rules conflict with their own Code of Conduct, not to mention their admins blatantly do not follow either. It’s hardly surprising you have a lot of them blocked.

I work as a cleaner. Just regular apartment building hallways and the like. Yes, I think it’s important - they had me work through Covid. I also know what it looks like when there’s nobody to clean for a few days. Pay is poor but I can listen to podcasts and audiobooks in peace so it’s chill enough. I am proud of the work though. I hadn’t thought about the impact of custodian work before I started doing it myself and realized how big of a difference it makes. I get by with my pay because I don’t have kids but my workmates definitely struggle. It should pay more.
