Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people isn’t limited in its goal to erasing Palestinians in Gaza by murdering them, creating conditions unsuitable for life, and ethnically cleansing them. The goal of Zionists is to erase and silence Palestinians completely. And that includes erasing them from cultural events and even from online spaces.

This is why Gaza Verified exists: to protect their voices here on the fediverse at least.

Here’s an idea: Every time you see a Zionist attempt to erase Palestinians, why not take look at the list of our families and friends from Gaza who are part of our fediverse community and see if you can help one of them.

@MonaApp Ah, ok, I looked up the generated source in the browser and it appears to keep the dots even if it formats it as a list in the app.

Not sure what confused me. I’m sure I got a pop-up at some point warning me about it being converted to rich text.

Anyway, seems fine. Apologies for the noise.

@MonaApp So the following line starts with • (mid dot + space)

• This is what happens

. Dot plus space is fine and doesn’t get changed.

Dash + space:

⁃ Gets changed.

@MonaApp Or am I misunderstanding it and it looks like it’s creating a rich text list (because it indents it and starts adding more bullets if I press enter) but it’s not actually converting it. So middot + space to start the following:

• hello
• am I
• a rich text list?

@Gardenia @Geri @fabio Just another German complicit in genocide.

@Boerdejakobiner You Germans sure love genocide, don’t you, you sick fuck?

@MonaApp Hi, it’s still there in 7.2.1 although (possibly?) I’m hitting it less?

Also, question: how can I turn off the automatic rich text support? I use mid dots for bullets • and they’re triggering the rich text lists (as are dashes). I want to use mid dots/dashes so everyone can see them.

Adelaide Festival board resigns and Adelaide Writers’ Week cancelled after 180 authors pull out in protest of Zionist board decision to disinvite Palestinian author.

Remember this, if you’re a Zionist: like the Nazis before you, you are committing genocide, you are on the wrong side of history, and – as long as there are people of good moral character and conscience to oppose you – you will not succeed. Your only allies are the MAGAs of the world and those too spineless to stand up to them and to fascism. And your entire movement that conflates support for settler colonialism, apartheid, ethnic cleansing, and genocide with being Jewish is fundamentally antisemitic, an affront to Jews who oppose Zionism, and makes Jews everywhere less safe.

Pretty certain someone voted to ban Randa Abdel-Fattah and has since resigned over the enormity of it all ...

Would very much like to know who that was. #auspol

@alipunk Ouch! Hope he feels better soon. Sending hugs ❤️🩹

There are people who will hate you because you are the face of changes that they refuse to make. And then there are the people who will hate you because you are the face of the changes that they refuse to acknowledge are possible because they are so rare in the world to witness.

Oh, yay, we’re not leaving this planet, are we folks?

@bbiiirdbPhD 💕

@gabek Not stupid at all. I believe there was a time we called that good design.

@evdelen @NMBA But his page says he’s honourable. I’m so confused.

@lemgandi @cstross

At some point the conservative needs to stop playing coy and come out and just say who is a person and who isn’t to them.

They don’t want to do this because they don’t even agree.

We are being asked “is a not poor lesbian white lady a person or not?”

And that is the debate.

@fast_code_r_us Nice :)

@Iwillyeah @JugglingWithEggs @aaron If hitting Cork, the Curraghbinny woods are lovely (not large but a nice walk; we used to live right across from it). Also, Kinsale is near enough and good for a spot of lunch.
