The Israeli rescue service Zaka says its paramedics removed more than 260 bodies from a music festival that came under attack by Hamas militants.

The total figure of bodies found is expected to be higher, as other paramedic teams were also working in the area and Zaka added that the bodies “haven’t all been collected yet”.

Early on Saturday morning, Hamas targeted Nova music festival, a techno rave in the desert near the border with Gaza.

Videos shared on social media and by Israeli news outlets showed dozens of festival-goers running through an open field as gunshots rang out. Many hid in nearby fruit orchards or were gunned down as they fled.

    You know I read these threads and they remind me so much of Reddit. And now I don’t know if reddit really got shittier or if the shittiness was always there it was just ignorable. These comments are definitely reddit tier and that’s sad for the fediverse.

      People need to realize reddit and social media is shitty because people are inherently shitty. The people on lemmy are no different.

      People don’t change just because technology is different.

      Yeah, that’s crazy - I wonder if there is some commonality we aren’t considering here?

      Just guessing, but that shouldn’t be surprising. I’d imagine the most opinionated people are the ones who took offense to Reddits changes and bailed out for those reasons. And now those opinionated people saturate the comments.

      Not every case of course. Like RIF died for me, and I just decided I wasn’t really enjoying Reddit and should try somewhere else. That’s probably a decent chunk of people here as well. I feel like those have a higher probability of just reading and not commenting though

      Worldnews was always really bad on reddit, I was also surprised to see that true for lemmy too. Lots of different world views and biases I guess.

      I’m using Boost for both Reddit and Lemmy, and as a quick glance on my phone they look identical. To be honest if I was to open a random thread and look at the comments I wouldn’t be able to tell where I am.

      I’m not sure what you guys mean when you say that Lemmy feels different. If feels smaller but the same, in the good and bad.
