    Can't believe that I'm defending downvoters. But downvoting does not always mean that they disagree with the message of a post. Some even just use it as a "mark as read" button, some fat fingered, some might think it doesn't belong in this community.

    yeah i was gonna say, i support the post's message but i don't see it as a "late stage capitalism" thing. these things happen even outside late stage capitalism, so that's rather unrelated.

    (i upvoted btw)

    might be better into the world news, political or sth community

    I habitually downvote anything referring to the site formerly known as twitter, especially if it's a pointless screenshot. Glad I read a bit further into this one if that is your attitude.

    Why is the screenshot even nessecary? Does somebody think that posting on X is somehow more legitimate than anywhere else?

    I also downvote about 10 posts a day entirely by accident because the downvote button on my screen is about 4 pixels and rests in the natural scroll area.

    My point is that a downvote probably doesn't always mean what you think it does.

    I kinda want to mirror this to the fediverse with a bot to 1. Make more people see it and 2. Mirror it so when it gets taken down its distributed on here.

    Should I do it? Or is that dumb?

    Yeah, I'm real torn. On one hand, I immediately want to scrape this site, but I also don't want to beat the site up tying up their bandwidth. There seems to be a parent site db4p.org thats managing mirrors of this site, but I don't see any sort of torrent or archive. If there's something like that, I'd be very inclined to just archive the entire site/database.

    Mmm… such a bot could run once every 24 hours either “visiting the site” and reading the HTML contents. Or using the DB directly if they have an API somewhere.

    Either way it doesn’t cost them much.

    The cynic in me asks how long until some government shuts down the site for some bullshit reason.

    It’s hosted by a software company (look at the direct link) so it’ll probably be deleted by them.

    Yeah, I looked further now and the company is Environmental Services Research Institute, Esri, headquartered in California.

    At first I saw some Swedish contact details and had hope that we might be able to withstand the pressure from Israel, but I wanted confirmation and then found out that is was indeed a US company.

    So long, Mom

    I'm off to drop the bomb

    So don't wait up for me

    But while you swelter

    Down there in your shelter

    You can see me

    On your TV

    While we're attacking frontally

    Watch Brinkally and Huntally

    Describing contrapuntally

    The cities we have lost

    No need for you to miss a minute

    Of the agonizing holocaust

    How long until it gets taken down via DOS, hacking, threats, or some bullshit "official" reason?

    So... I think the website as it is described here would be extremely important to have. One caveat I have is, are we sure this is safe and also, real?

    I'm sorry, it's just that, Israel is known for all kinds of fuckery, and it's good to be careful when clicking links you know. And I'm no expert so I couldn't tell if it is some dangerous psyop shit.

    If there are no concerns I'd be delighted, just being cautious I guess. Anyway, Free Palestine, from the River to the Sea and Free Lebanon.
