I assume ownership requests need to be manually approved by ernest, right? I've tried applying to some (not ernest-managed ones) weeks ago because of spam on them and nothing happened yet.

I'm a bit late, but since no one seems to have given you an answer yet: Account deletion is currently manual and the instance's owner has been inactive since the year started. He came here every few weeks to remind us he's not dead yet, but otherwise it's been silence. Since account deletion is manual, that means there simply is no one there who could fulfill your deletion request currently.
I want to stop having my votes public and just make a new account on another site
Make sure not to switch to another fediverse site like a Lemmy instance. Lemmy hides the votes to its users, pretending they're private, but still happily gives them out to other sites like kbin to display or harvest.
The project definitely accepts contributions, the mbin devs have contributed to kbin before and a few weeks ago a minor code change was committed and merged by someone other than ernest.
As I understand it, the issue is that people with merge permissions other than ernest are only allowed to merge their own pull requests, not those of third parties, which require a review from ernest.
(At least that's what I've seen explained before, though I haven't seen any proof of it so I don't fully know if it's real.)
This means a majority of contributors can't get their pull requests merged when ernest is gone. Which is why they went and made mbin when he was gone for months last time.
Ernest hasn't abandoned kbin this time, he did post an update last week.
Today, I'm going for a minor procedure at the hospital, and I won't be available for the next 2-4 days. When I return, I'll push all the corrections and fixes I've been working on and present plans for the near future.
Him not being back yet probably means the hospital procedure didn't go as smoothly as expected, but he's not gone on purpose.
but I'm curious how you expect Gazans to sing peace's praises
I don't, I only answered your question ("How is UNRWA perpetuating anything?"). Most of which was quoted from an article I linked.
I'm not the original poster you originally replied to. I actually agree with what you say about Israel perpetuating the conflict too, probably more. But UNRWA is undeniably doing its part too.
I don't really get how these "IPOs" work. Someone actually has to pay that money for Reddit, right? Even if they manage to get Reddit temporarily profitable, are people really going to get fooled into investing just from that? Or are they guaranteed to get whatever Reddit's value is at the time of the IPO somehow?
I've found this article that talks about it (among some other reasons), though I've also seen it on other sites.
A recent report by the watchdog group IMPACT-se highlighted that UNRWA's educational materials, based on the Palestinian Authority (PA) curriculum, contain antisemitic content and celebrate violence and martyrdom-jihadist culture.
UNRWA has a significant position in educating almost 545,000 Palestinian children across the Middle East.
The IMPACT-se report examined educational materials used in UNRWA schools, particularly in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem, where the PA curriculum is adopted.
The PA curriculum, which has been under scrutiny since its 2016 revision, is found to contain – like it did before its revision – antisemitic content and the promotion of violence, jihad, and ‘martyrdom’ culture, while omitting teachings of peace and coexistence. UNRWA, while not producing its own curriculum, supplements the host country’s curriculum with additional materials. Despite pledges to counter-act calls for violence by UNRWA, the report found a disturbing failure to do so.
More than 80 UNRWA teachers and staff across more than 30 schools have been caught distributing hateful content in their textbooks.
According to UN Watch: “Teachers and schools at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which runs education and social services for Palestinians, regularly call to murder Jews, and create teaching materials that glorify terrorism, encourage martyrdom, demonize Israelis and incite antisemitism.”
I know of in Lemmy (kbin might be different), is that you can put full urls in the search field and it will pull up that post on your local instance (also works for comments).
Oh wow that actually works on kbin, at least for posts, haven't tested comments. I put your link in kbin's search and it gave me the correct thread on kbin.
One thing I hate about the fediverse right now is the apparent inability to link to something irrespective of instance.
Despite you giving me a link, I still need to look up the post manually myself if I want to view it on kbin instead of ani.social. I hope that changes some day in the future.
