Just curious what the hive mind over there is thinking. I used to lurk Reddit before I switched to Lemmy during the mass exodus.

I’ve really just been getting most of my news from Lemmy these days and not paying much attention to MSM. Obviously the things I’m reading here sounds like Isreal is commuting war crimes with their amped up response from the original attack.

Curious if there’s any kind of divide on Reddit regarding the conflict.

    The news subreddit is filled with people who are trying to force a black-and-white, “If you criticize A then you must support B” view onto the whole conflict. Reddit was never exactly known for nuance, but it’s gotten worse since Rexit.

    Pretty much the same. Conservative subreddits are pro-Israel, most other subeddits have pro-Palestinian sentiment. Haven’t seen any pro-Hamas stuff.

    It appears to be more siloed, more pro Israel stuff there at the start. Now more subreddits are pushing in of one thing or the other despite not being the subject of the subreddit. I was actually appalled when I went there after the first two days of the attack, it was a fucking cluster fuck of bloodlust against palestine.

      Well Palestine does hate women and lgbtq people, so that checks out. What I don’t get is why the lemmy hivemind supports them.
