Cause this is a web zone and not the government?
communist web zone tho, supposedly. one that ostensibly supports various factions that do burn that flag all the time. So we are at best sending mixed messages here, undermining support for groups like Ansarallah and Hezbollah by enacting the same policies as the fascist zionist government for some reason. What type of message does this send to those on this webzone not from the burgerreich?
Yeah dude those groups and the wider world are totally paying close attention to this niche shitposting site. Get over yourself.
there's arab users here including myself that feel extremely othered by this white pearl clutching. many palestinians came here thinking this was an english speaking pro-resistance site, and here we have this quibbling zionist shit still. We can't escape it.
How the fuck is it white pearl clutching to correct your assertion that this isn't about Jewishness but about white supremacy?
I am not condemning people irl actually burning the actual flag in protest. We also have the
emoji. You have had a long standing beef with the mods here I get it. But that seems much more to do with your toxic contrarianism than any actual principled stance. Now you are accusing me of "white pearl clutching" and frankly go fuck yourself I am done with you. There's a reason you have been banned like 5 times before. IDK why they tolerate your repeated ban evasion.
I've been banned once, and I was unbanned. Have you ever considered there's dozens of us?
they tolerate him because they're always correct just an asshole. they're correct again here

Gassing yourself up like this on an alt account so obviously is incredibly pathetic.
I agree. I also notice that red A next to your username and feel like you could just put a stop to it.

3 minutes after her comment the user was banned, guessing she did that
Does banning not delete comments? Thought it did
Only purging deletes comments I think
I've been yelling at a corpse...
thank fuckin god
The consequences for violation are on a hilariously different scale. Here you might get a deleted by mod where if the government's mods say you can't it's actually illegal, so there's a big difference there. You can also reach the same policy for different reasons, im kinda ambivalent on the hexbear policy and with a flag like that no matter what move you make here plays into Israel's hand, that's why they made the flag be that way. I also dont think it's all thst detrimental towards our support Ansrallah or Hezbollah in their current struggle cause they aren't reading any of this and if they did they probably wouldnt like us, they arent leftist groups, they have our support cause they're trying to stop a genocide. Its not like we see eye to eye with these guys in pretty much any other regard, they're just what we have rn. Its pragmatic support. Which means you dont need to go full in. I would hope those not from the burgerreich would get this cause neither of those groups represent them and therefore we dont need to mirror their behavior. Im mostly against it cause it'll just invite really annoying federated reply guys every time it's used
they both are further left than you are
That simply isn't true. Just because they oppose Israel and do things about it doesnt make them leftist by any measure. You are being absolutely absurd here.
They are banned now but this is the same user that once claimed that Russia is (not was but is) more socialist than China.
I do notice it always seems to be the most contrarian and "fuck you, I do what I want" sort of posters here who loudly demand a burning Israel flag the most. Like, it isn't hard to express hate for Israel here, so I don't know why they act like this is some big "censorship" thing or whatever, they accuse people of behaving like liberals, while behaving like liberals themselves, acting like the meaning of words isn't important, just empty symbols and shibboleths.
It's largely one user who has a fuckton of alts. The reason it seems like a lot of extremely edgy contrarian posters are demanding this is because it's actually one extremely edgy contrarian poster demanding this while pretending to be many people.
That's not to say there's not a variety of people who have thoughts on this, but it's pretty disingenuous of Zposter to constantly act as though they're a bunch of different people and somehow representative of all arab users on the site.
Looking at the comments and upvotes on this post makes it pretty clear that more people are aligned with Z's position than not, even if you discount the users who are allegedly their alts.
Or maybe we're all their alts now idk
Please read my comment above
I don't think I've interacted with him before this but I do think it's disingenuous to say he isn't a representative of what most arabs on this site think.
"israel" has been bombing the entire region for almost a century at this point, all while waving that flag.
Maybe it doesn't make sense to a westerner, but yes that flag is literally the same as the nazi flag in west asia.
literally just lying and making shit up. Just like when you lied about the death threats you made
Im sure it's hard to remember but was that claim substantiated at all? Im doubting it and it would be hard to recall, but if so I'd like to hear what that argument would be.
It was in fact not substantiated. Just yet another total ass-pull contrarian take.
Darn. That isn't even fun. BTW didn't know how bans affected posting so sorry for saying you weren't doing your job
Haha no worries. I and several other admins typically leave a lot of the less egregious comments up as receipts. If they're not bad enough that they need to be removed and modlogged, it's easier for people to see right there on the userpage.
I wish there was an indicator within posts/comments to indicate that a user has been banned. That would make it a lot easier to see.
There is in newer versions of lemmy-ui, Lemmy.ml has it.
Nice! That's a great change. Looking forward to seeing it in the future
I remember old BBS forums having a Lil hammer image over the avatar indicating a bonk. They've taken so much from us
A part of me wishes hexbear were a PHPbb forum with an irc chat
Pig hoop palls balls ball forum
This website has ruined my brain
All of me has since chapo was banned from reddit. Its a better format and it would just be such a flex to the redt of the internet. I was offline for federation but I like being the closest thing to web 1.0 this hellacape offers. Feeds suck. Give me well prgsnixed folders by topics with post point and in bracket new
idk someone else reminded me of it but I think it was something to do with China doing business with the US and Israel or something to that effect. It was nonsense.
the user was banned for their argument, so the consequences are worse than you stated. You are harassed, given death threats, lied about, smeared and banned.
