    maybe we’re all their alts now idk

    Nah, it’s definitely not that. No conspiracy theory nonsense lmao

    Using votes as an indicator with discussions like this inside of a thread is definitely going to skew the results, and they’re never going to be cleanly 1:1 representative of the actual thoughts of the userbase.

    I’m not really sure how to solve divisive things like this because invariably, whatever decision gets made (or even just the act of opening things to a vote) always results in a struggle session. This shit isn’t constructive and I think the actual root of the issue is that the imagery we have is backing us into a corner with this. Either we have a Holocaust emoji or we have to abstract anti-Israeli sentiment like this and neither of those are really good options.

    E: An actual discussion post on the subject is forthcoming. (hex)Bear with us while we’re getting stuff set up
