And maybe πŸ‡¨πŸ‡Ί but I feel like people are not thinking of πŸ‡¨πŸ‡Ί doing internet troll farms.

Edit:

My intention was to play into the accusations that we're all bots and shills for Xi, Putin, and Kim. Like how image boards will automatically place a flag on the post based on your IPs origins.

If only we could get emoji for defunct states like the USSR or the GDR.

This, except the only flag options are:

Pride Flag of the Ukrainian SSR

Bisexual Pride Flag of the German Democratic Republic

Trans Pride Flag of the Kirghiz SSR

Lesbian Pride Flag of the Estonian SSR

These colors don't run 😀

I recognize gay, bisexual, and trans, but what's the last flag? The one with the white, red, orange, and purple colours?

[–] machinya@hexbear.net 22 points 2 months ago

curse you bisexuals, you always get the best flags

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

I support this 100%

Does Palestine not count as a country? palestine-heart

Aren’t we accused of being Hamas shills as well?

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Seems like we'd run into the issue of people acting silly with the people who are really from Palestine.

[–] AntifaSuperWombat@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Just forcefully transport those jerks over to Northern Gaza. They can keep the flag then.

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

makes me uncomfortable that something might happen to annoy them. Especially if every other ~~map~~ flag is part of a bit. Seems like a Palestine flag needs confirmation with the admins and a check mark or something.

[–] TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Excuse me, I am not only a Chinese, Korean and Russian bot, but also a Venezuelan and Iranian bot.

I'm pretty sure. I might have lost count...

It's hard out there, sorry, needed the Xi, Putin, Kim, Maduro and Khamenei Bucks, grocery prices keep rising.

[–] macabrett@lemmy.ml 20 points 2 months ago

a good bit, but sadly I will not participate in stolen valor

anarchists in shambles i renounce all nations

Everyone forgets about Laos πŸ‡±πŸ‡¦

I wish we were still federated with .world. the flags could get automatically added when someone calls you that country's bot

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Hmm true, I guess they fall in with Cuba for me, I've never seen anyone say "They're clearly paid shills for Venezuela".

[–] Carcharodonna@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

Hmmm Iran does sometimes get brought up though

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Spanish speaking chuds do say Cuba and Venezuela pay for trolls

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

I did not know this.

[–] someone@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Add "Other", with the UN flag.

[–] AntifaSuperWombat@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

un-cool This UN flag specifically.

[–] x87_floatingpoint@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

🎢 The UN is a waste of time 🎢

(Cool Grenadian song about how UN talks big words and doesn't actually DO SOMETHING about all the injustices being committed daily)

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

I was thinking of the regular version, because it would really piss off the antisemites obsessed about "globalists".

[–] AntifaSuperWombat@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

Interesting angle. I love it. doggirl-thumbsup

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

~~UN~~ USSR

[–] Parsani@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

It should just be Russia, our servers have been in Moscow this whole time (and a brief stint in Rostov-on-Don)

[–] iByteABit@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Add another unknown random flag named Andromeda XVIII to put some fuel on the "alien communists pulling all the strings on earth" conspiracy

[–] radio_free_asgarthr@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

New task for hexbear, we need to put our minds together and make a really awesome Posadism flag.

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago

Oh! Please let us do this, Supreme Leaders!!

I do agree with others that Cuba should be included though.
