I believe federation issues between AZ and quokk.au are due to the custom version of piefed they're running. Not that there are issues with it, but that it isn't being allowed by the whitelisting I've applied to restrict AI scraper bots.

I've made some changes to the whitelisting today, specifically for quokk.au... let me know if it helps.

I'm not sure... but it looks like this resolved after I upgraded AZ to 0.19.20:

Looks like outbound federation from AZ to LW is having issues for the last few days:

Looks like we had similar issues with other instances at the same start time, but they recovered:

I'll look into this more over the weekend if I get the time.

In this instance, Nath is wrong. He's been doing the heavy lifting for a long time, and I'm sure he knows it.

To be honest, I don't have time to give AZ the attention it really needs. And at some point I'll have had enough bankrolling most of it, and want to move on not worrying about it.

I'm not entirely sure how best to manage things when that day arrives. I'm open to ideas.

Probably caught up in restrictions I applied to protect AZ from AI bots scraping and breaking the site. Will take a look.

I don't remember seeing anything of yours reported, and from a quick skim I don't see any issues with your posts.

First some context... I don't want to be too prescriptive on what is or is not allowed on various communities here on AZ. I'd like them (communities) to find their own voice and audience, and self-determine what is acceptable... within the confines of the global AZ rules.

Having said that... due to the nature of it, this specific community could probably do with some guard rails.... but more importantly, an active moderator to advance the development of the community itself. To that end I've made Gorgritch_Umie_Killa a moderator, will remove the two idle ones shortly.

My advice.. moderation should remain as neutral and unbiased as possible. Allowable content from one political viewpoint, must be allowed from others. ie links to stickers from Getup being allowed means a similar link for HON promotional should also be allowed.

As for AI generated content, personally I don't want to view/read it at all. Not sure exactly how to manage it across AZ, this will need further discussion and thought. I'd like to ban it outright, but that doesn't seem feasible. Some sort of mandatory tagging in thread titles perhaps...

Hamas has said that includes killing all 1.75 million Israeli Sunni Muslims too.

Got a source for that? I've seen you state it as fact multiple times now.

You see how that’s a bad thing, right?

See Nath's comment about us not being the shapers of the community or its discussions. Users are free to reply or ignore as they see fit to other user posts/comments.

Choosing to remain silent should not be allowed to give someone ranting about lebensraum

As I previously posted, (twice now), that is not my interpretation of the comment on the article you posted. Only if you view the comment in a vaccum could you come to the conclusion you have. It seems you've either ignored my interpretation, or don't understand it.

If I were jewish and posted in support of legislation put in place to protect fellow jews, and someone on the internet leapt to the conclusion I was a nazi because the legislation in question is right leaning... I'd probably do my best to ignore them too. Seagoon doesn't owe you an explanation for your misunderstanding.

I'm done posting on this topic unless you have something new to say.

From another of my comments (the news article the comment was made under referred to banned phrases in QLD):

I took Seagoon_'s comment to be in support of the ban on particular phrases, by highlighting another dog whistle for nazis. Before this, I (like Nath) did not know this was a nazi dog whistle.

I fully believe that the user in question is a Nazi. There is no other rational explanation for their behaviour .

There are other explanations, such the one from my comment you replied to. You may not agree with my interpretation, and Seagoon has not posted to clarify the thinking behind their comment. If it becomes clear that a user is a nazi, I'll take appropriate action, as I have done with previous users.

Any space that allows that user is a Nazi bar.

I disagree with your characterization of Seagoon as a nazi, this is categorically not the case.

In this case, with the understanding of your comment... there is no point for them to try and engage further, for the reasons others have noted.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt, I think you chose a bad phrase to make your point and have not clarified this in subsequent comments.

Quoting you from the original thread about banned slogans from QLD:

Nazis are the kinds of people who support this ban, who support Israel

Your definition of nazi differs to mine, and the world in general. I doubt you'd find any actual nazi supporting Israel. You'll definitely find fascists supporting the Israeli government and their actions, but that is not what you've stated.

...who support the ongoing genocide
