Every major social media is censoring anti-israel or pro-Palestine content. This may be a good opportunity to convince Arabs to move over to lemmy, where only we control the content moderation.
For the record, the lemmy won’t be Palestine only. I just think it’ll be the reason people will move over.
The reason I ask for others to help me is:
- help advertise to other Arabs to bring them over
- someone to register the stuff in their name. Unfortunately, I am an immigrant in a country and have been interrogated by them before (on bogus grounds). While what I’m doing is not illegal, they have their eyes on me and I am paranoid they’ll give me trouble again regardless. I can take care of the technology side of the hosting and the initial costs (hopefully donations cover the rest). Since it will be on your name, moderation and the like will be your decision, but I will just want to make sure initially that we are on a similar page.
Just create the server dude. There are a bunch of instances related to specific languages, games, TV shows, countries, regions, what have you. It’ll show up at https://join-lemmy.org/instances and Arabic speakers should be able to find it. You can then promote it on other social media. You can also suggest it on other social media if you don’t believe you can be an admin :)
Good luck!
