On the fediverse, as we live through the ongoing Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people, there are those who oppose the genocide and are trying to help the victims and there are those who deny the genocide, try to erase the victims, and attempt to vilify the ones trying to help.

If you’re neutral, you’ve chosen the side of the latter.

If you give genocide deniers sanctuary on your servers, you’re telling genocide victims that they are not safe on your server.

This isn’t a difficult decision for any decent person to make.
