At my modest scale, I was banned from reddit/worldnews for pointing out that the title of the stickied thread “Iran attacks Israel” was not suited anymore to the events in gaza, and that this thread’s very low upvote count was a show that its content was not so consensual.

There are lots of efforts by Likud extremists to reshape the narrative and suppress dissent.

But I’m optimistic that their efforts won’t work: the students protests are strong enough, alternative communities like r/internationalnews are developing, so that a more balanced perspective emerges, that doesn’t downplay Israeli crimes against humanity.

Too bad neither Israel nor the US are member of the ICC. That gives them far less leverage, even though they will likely put pressure on some weaker members of the ICC.

I have been running my own mail server with similar requirements for 20 years now.

I empathize that getting flagged by major providers is the most worrisome part.

Yet, it’s not as bad as it was in the years 2012-2015 when SPF, dkim and dmarc strated becoming mandatory.

I maintain my outbound server against all odds, mostly because I think it’s very important that independent providers can still exist.

When the fine for littering and the cost of repair or recycling is higher than what you can recoup from this sort of lost property, it’s a win win for the police.
