To be fair, what happened was the one jewish user who manages/makes all the emojis expressed discomfort with it and said “you can add it but I’m not comfortable making it myself”. And then struggle sessions ensued but nobody ever added it.
posting pics of the israeli flag burning or doing it with emojis was never banned, it just wasn’t specifically added to the library, IMO out of a lack of consensus. Which may still have been the wrong call but its not the same as this US policy.
banned over the struggle session, behavior in it, and other longstanding issues, not for posting a burning israeli flag. Unless I missed something, which is possible
Banned in a struggle session about having the emoji. There’s a reason they were banned in this thread, by this admin and attacked as an anti-semite by this particular mod (Nakoichi) who has issued them death threats before
I’m not claiming they’re unrelated, just that they aren’t the same thing. The OP is about actual criminalization of actual flag burning, not punishment of harassment or other unrelated rule breaking ( that happens to be related to one’s position on flag burning). Nobody’s been stopping anybody from posting images like these over the past 2 years:
i love how people react this way literally every time there’s any friction between the mods and user base but I’m glad i got to see it to know i should block you
himbofication is literally an admitted alt of zposter that was in this thread sockpuppeting pretending to just be a bystander. I looked at ttheir profile and saw the linked comment admitting to being an alt and went “oh, okay, not worth any more effort replying to”
I can get having issues with the mods but this is really the one you took issue with?

I don’t even necessarily agree with banning zposter over this, but there’s a long laundry list of other reasons so I’m not too chuffed abt it
mod bootlicker you are feeding into their zionist apologia
edit: oh its literally you. Great. If you dislike the instance so much I would appreciate if you’d just leave and go post elsewhere.
