That wouldnt change anything.. ethnicity is just the noun form of ethnic, it still refers to culture not race.
@davew yea not the same.
@davew there are whole instances devoted to journalists.. not specific to any one publication though... thats similar I guess?
It would seem its common among muslims as well.. I have often seen muslims as being referred to as an ethnic group as well.
@ligthert wikipedia is a great source.. its just that like any source you need to review its citations to determine what weight to give it.
@EubieDrew absolutely... feel free to submit a merge request on the site or suggest where you think it might be best to state that.
@EubieDrew Correct, in fact we designed provisions explicitly to ensure that is the case... this is why we strictly state that members outside of the UFoI will not be treated with any negative reprocusions for not joining. It is structured only so there are positive advantages to joining, namely, garunteed federation for good actors.
Great work... hard to really appreciate due to the second hand phone audio though sadly :(

@EubieDrew yea i want to address it.. but how is the best way to address it?
@EubieDrew Who? Fascists.. go for it.
@EubieDrew how do we make it happen?
My understanding of "Semetic" is that it includes anyone who speaks a semetic language. So your ethnicity probably has little to do with it.
Ryle had a heart attack.
People being sent death threats... DDoS on UFoI members, one LGBTQ server in good standing was blocked by 33 other instances for supporting us openly.... Yet they insist there is no problem that needs addressing, to the point they violently oppose an agreement between server admins to engage in transparency, ethics, and evidence in interinstance moderation....
These things prove that the need for the UFoI is very real.

Last time I tried that I blew up half a city block... consider yourself lucky if it was disapointing :)
@LouisIngenthron Irregardless to common sense it seems anti-semite is defined regardless of the definition of semite. This may make conversations about the subject a bit inflammable!

@LouisIngenthron Interestingly despite a semite including all speakers of a semetic language, including jews and arabs, in general practice antisemite refers exclusively to jews... very confusing I know.
@LouisIngenthron Yup, sure is.
