If you know people on cologne.social who aren’t Zionists/genocide supporters please let them know that they cannot see posts by me and others who oppose Israel’s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people as our instances and accounts are blocked by their Zionist/pro-genocide server. I can only assume Zionist/pro-genocide servers will not be allowed according to mastodon.social’s new server covenant and suggested as safe spaces to newcomers to the fediverse (including Palestinians suffering through genocide, ethnic cleansing, and apartheid) but it would be good to have official confirmation of this. It’s time for people (and mastodon servers) to be unapologetically unambiguous about which side of history they stand on.

Specifically, it is essential that we know whether the Mastodon server covenant (https://joinmastodon.org/covenant) adopts the IHRA’s Working Definition of Antisemitism (https://holocaustremembrance.com/resources/working-definition-antisemitism) – which conflates antisemitism with criticism of Israel – or the Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism (https://jerusalemdeclaration.org) – which does not. (Or some other declaration that I’m not myself aware of or had discussed with the mastodon.social team.) #mastodon #serverCovenant #antisemitism #moderation #israel #zionism #genocide #Gaza #Palestine https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/115989885113349752

@Mastodon@mastodon.social This is a link to the server covenant: https://joinmastodon.org/covenant One important question – and one we’ve discussed together – is which definition of antisemitism are you going with? I’d appreciate it if you could state the decision you’ve reached on this publicly. Crucially, is it one that conflates opposition to Zionism, Israel, and the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people with being bigoted against Jewish people or not? This is key in knowing whether only Zionist, pro-Israel, pro-genocide Mastodon servers will be featured in recommendations or not.
