      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.

              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.

              That’s so incredibly pathetic. They’re wasting all this time and energy on trying to get a niche shitposting site to have an emoji they really want instead of just verbalising how they feel about Israel, there’s no one stopping them. I feel bad now, imagine all the effort they’ve spent trying to push hexbear into get this emoji, instead of doing literally anything more productive with their time, they could’ve gone out and actually pushed for actual Palestinian causes, actually helped their community, even just tried to educate people on Israel and their crimes, instead they choose to accuse probably the most anti-Israel place on the internet of being pro-Israel because of a fucking emoji. Goddamn. I want them to touch grass so bad I’m going to go and touch grass the rest of the day.

              Also, was that nazi account that showed up a little while back that demanded the same emoji also one of their alts? They’ve made a few similar arguments here. Because if so I think that alone is grounds for banning all their accounts, “cosplaying” as a nazi to “own the Israelis” is just disgusting, and I think would show their true intentions behind why they want this particular emoji so bad. I really hope that wasn’t them, I wouldn’t think they are that bad.

                  As long as you keep banning me for nonsense I’ll keep making new accounts. Admins and mods themselves have stated that since they removed the userunion, feedback and appeals comms and avenues the correct way to address any grievance with mod abuse is make a new alt. We are explicitly actively encouraged to keep creating new alts by the mod team so they never have to deal with feedback or appeals.

                  But if we do what you explicitly told us is our only recourse, that’s also ban worthy btw.

                  Your whole shit is a giant bag of contradictions. Your mods make death threats and when it’s brought up, admins look the other way. There’s a chilling effect, users notice you doing this. It doesn’t go away like you think, it festers and you lose users and nobody values your judgments.

                    The code of conduct does actually address this, among other relevant topics

                    If the user comes back under a new account and continues to make trouble, they will be banned.

                    You can come back under a new account. This ultimately is the case anywhere online, especially anywhere remotely privacy respecting, but if you make it clear you’re the same person and/or start doing the same rule-breaking shit, then that’s bannable. It could be a bit more explicit, but it’s the understood policy for as long as I recall, and only a couple repeatedly-banned users such as yourself seem to take issue with it.

                    Also relevant:

                    Be aware of your own enjoyment of the site.

                    • If you find yourself no longer having fun, do something else. There are many different comms on Hexbear, and many different ways to shitpost and have fun.
                    • If the site as a whole is just not cutting it for you, take a break. We’ll still be here when you get back. Nothing should compel you to stay.
                    • The site is deliberately designed to be a relaxing sort of fun rather than an addictive one. We do not want you to remain on Hexbear if remaining on the site is no longer fun for you.
                    • If you find yourself logging into the site while not really wanting to, or while knowing that you shouldn’t, please contact a moderator and we can provide a ban.
                    • If we ultimately determine that a user has become toxic and is fixated on complaining about the site, we will ban them. We are always open to feedback and suggestions, but if we notice someone that constantly posts / comments about how much they dislike everything then it’s probably better for them to find somewhere else to spend their time. The rest of the community has a right to a positive environment.

                    and…

                    Lying about moderator interactions (eg saying you were banned or warned for no reason when you were really banned for sectarianism) damages trust in the moderators and makes it less likely that others will come forward with reports about other users, allowing wreckers to fly under the radar and making the site less safe for everyone. Lying about moderator interactions, in any capacity, will lead to a permanent ban without warning.

          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.
