The "Words of Iron" app gives zionists one centralized hub to promote posts that support Israel by increasing their engagement (including by pasting pre-written comments) while directing users to anti-zionist posts to report in an effort to get the post or the poster removed from the internet. It's a zionist brigading app.
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
I've been here for 3 years, since the migration from the subreddit. Yes, this is a new account; I created it because my og account was an edgy reference to the 2020 US primary that I felt didn't age as well as the thing it was referencing became more and more dated. I said as much and linked said account when registering this new account, the mods approved the registration of this account, so
I no longer use that account, and certainly not to pull a Unidan or w/e.
Yes, I am highly invested because I immediately recognized you posting the same ragebait videos that incels spam at her on the hellsite that is Twitter, and it really fucking stung to see that same thing happen here from a supposed leftist.
I am begging you to do some introspection on why you are the one doing harm here and owe an apology. I don't even necessarily disagree that streaming can absolutely be parasocial and alienating! But, I promise you that the mods aren't deleting your comments out of some defense of the merits of streaming: it's because your comments were personally offensive to a fellow community member, including posting a harmful video that you have yet to apologize for. Ironically, you are exhibiting the very kind of anti-social behavior you are claiming streaming facilitates!
I have apologized for it, and the originally unedited comment was all the content besides the video. Clearly the intent was to discuss twitch streaming. Please move past it.
I'm not doing harm, I'm being instigated to do harm and I'm not falling for it. Twitch streaming and all the power dynamic issues that come with it is wrong.
