Mod of news@lemmy.sdf.org goes crying to mod abuse hotline after posting genocide propaganda
I got triple banned for "Abusing" and "pushing". - SDF Chatter
To be honest, itâs pretty funny that you posted something so offensive it got you banned by hexbear.
these people genuinely do not know anything about hexbear at all
Its really easy to be banned from hexbear, all you have to do is be a misogynist or a transphobe or a racist and so on and so forth. That's not really worth bragging about but to each their own.
I think they mean it's impressive that they got banned here despite their post being on another instance.
Boss babyism. "Even this other thing I've heard is bad/"insane" is incompatible with your badness/insanity. You are very far from the ideal baseline of calm, aloof rationality, i.e. me and the other people with whom I share a common ideology."
Lmao all their users are roasting them
Not just roasting them but roasting them for getting banned from here lmao.
mod abuse hotline?
It's a comm on that instance to discuss "abuse of power" by mods/admins, in this case the "Hexbears higher ups"
They're literally posting nazi propaganda. If I was an hexbear admin I would have called in an air strike
FWIW it looks like everything on that instance is like, some weird meta-ironic performance art kind of thing? Look at any of the comments for the posts on their funhole comm. They have a glossary of abbreviations that includes "iyntlmadm - if you need to learn more abbreviations/acronyms dm me," they're ironically embracing the corporate aesthetic, etc etc.
What I don't get is where the irony stops, why have a serious news comm? Why did the same user that has posted lots of articles covering the genocide choose to die on the hill of posting this article? Is that ironic too?
Why don't we have a cry about the mods community đ
Even applying liberal principles, he keeps trying to post an opinion piece to the news comm.
@admins, did you REALLY need to triple ban him?!? Now he's going to be charged with a felony
Lol this guy has repeatedly posted to the Mod Abuse Hotline comm, just for people to shit on him in the comments. Enjoy drama much??
keep shooting for
buddy... one day you'll succeed.Brb posting about hexbears mods victim blaming smh my head
Also they banned a bunch of people for two weeks for the infractions: using an acronym, incomplete sentences, or using an emoji.
I don't know I do kind of wonder if this is a bizarre bit.
If this is some kind of meta-ironic bit (qrstuv posts a lot of ironic responses all across that instance), qrstuv you should read Sartre and actually understand the origins of your absurdist sense of humor buddy. You can't even do irony right.
That's my theory atp
gleefully spreads genocide denial
bans all criticism
"this is unfair! this is discrimination!"is banned for sharing nazi talking points
e: oh my god but actually
fascinating, now please step right over hereAs his number 1 fan* Iâve got to defend qrstuvâs reputation at least a little bit. I donât care about him getting banned other than the fact that Iâll need to use an alt on another instance to interact with his memes. Obviously the op-ed he posted is nazi propaganda that doesnât belong anywhere.
*not actually a fan as in I donât like and endorse all his content. But I find him and his content very fascinating.
First let me say that qrstuvâs posts and comments are so irony pilled that itâs very difficult to pin down anything he actually believes in. Which confuses basically all of Lemmy, and induces a special kind of rage in libs after failing to bait him which is why I find him so fascinating.
Some of his viewpoints come through via his self crafted memes, especially older ones, but heâll almost never clarify them. Some of his content is pretty based:
Criticising NATO intervention in Ukraine
Criticising Bidenâs support for war crimes in Palestine
Criticising Harrisâ campaign message
Harris âIâm talking!â meme
More Harris about Palestine featured by Garfield
AOC heartbroken Yemen isnât being bombed secretly
qrstuv created the news com after he got banned from some lib news coms for petty reasons like not unconditionally supporting Harris and posting links to sources that are not lib-certified. In his own com he bans people for petty reasons like using abbreviations and emojis. My impression is that his news com is basically a parody on the coms he was banned from.
The mod abuse community has a similar origin in that the creator (dr wesker) was banned from a similar com on another instance and created this one to mostly make joke posts. qrstuv has several posts there that seem very unserious and ironic.
To me the posts you linked read as ironic as well. I donât know why qrstuv posted the nazi propaganda piece but I doubt itâs because he supports the content after making so many memes that criticise US support for the genocide. Again I donât want to argue that he shouldnât be banned for it, he seems to hold none to very little value to the content of lemmy posts in general which doesnât align with hexbearâs goal to create an online space free of bigotry.
Yeah I started to catch on that it was all ironic too, but it seems very strange to me to be doing this meta-ironic bit in a news comm???
Anyway, because you're more familiar with this user's content, I'm just gonna take the opportunity to blast you with a tangential question about irony and fascism. In Roderic Day's often-cited-on-Hexbear-(particularly-by-myself) essay Really Existing Fascism, he writes:
Marx, Nietzsche, and the Conscious Pursuit
In our story so far, Nietzsche and the question of symmetries and anti-symmetries between Nietzsche and Marx have sat unattended in the background. Now is the time to bring them to the fore and to explain why I consider them so useful.
Consider how Nietzsche talked about masks:
Every profound spirit needs a mask. Even more, around every profound spirit a mask is continually growing. [53]
Contrast this with the way Marx and Engels publicized their commitments, and encouraged others to do so, in The Communist Manifesto:
The Communists disdain to conceal their views and aims. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible overthrow of all existing social conditions. [54] ... In other words, when his antisemitic interlocutors advised Nietzsche to mask racism in his writing, they inadvertently spurred him to find justifications for slavery and elitism that werenât rooted in the all-too-modern and universalist (and thus unstable, empirically refutable) arguments of ârace science.â After all, ârace scienceâ is, both historically and logically, a liberal concept. If racial differences turn out not to be inherent, there goes the whole (liberal) argument for white supremacy. Liberal racism still feels the need to justify itself in scientific, i.e. universalist terms. As Nietzsche correctly observed, this is already a capitulation to socialism, which wins more the more people scientifically reason together. To truly condemn socialism, Nietzsche painted the issue of class domination as one of will, aesthetics, âfreedom,â and spirit.
Fascists often use irony, wordplay, euphemisms, and dogwhistles to play with truth (Sartre "Never believe the antisemites..." maybe summarizes this sentiment better). Isn't it strange to use the same duplicitous language of irony to try and say something leftist? Ever since reading that essay, I've kind of understood that leftists should strive to, as Marx said, never conceal their views and aims and openly declare exactly how and why those aims should be implemented. The fact that our views and aims aren't shameful is our greatest asset. So I've learned to be very suspicious of people that are so ironic.
I agree with your assessment and personally I wouldnât call qrstuv a leftist. I donât think he occupies himself with political ideology and strategy at all and just reacts to what he observes in the way that he, a non-liberal USian, was taught to react to the atrocities that are happening in the world: with heavy doses of irony.
And he is banning everyone pushing back on the post in the news comm he mods.
Can y'all ban them even more times? đ
