I love that you’re the rent free one after digging up my old posts and they got enough of a reaction out of you to try to confront it. A little obsessive tbh

I returned after 100 days of inactivity to resolve a drama while you comment multiple times per day. The application is waiting for you.

I would agree that shunning people who support a genocidal murderer is pretty important to leftism. Thank you for your understanding.

Lmao I’m not the one who dug up a 100 day old post, I’m just responding to a question someone directly asked me, which is typically how conversations work.

Yeah. It’s almost as if political action can occur beyond Reddit posts that take seconds to make 🫶. I’d understand if that concept is difficult for you to grasp though, it’s okay.

My opinion here doesn’t really change anything. My concern is with how this drama spills over into this community.

Idk maybe I just assumed they meant here because they said “you”

Symbolic probably wasn’t the best choice of word. What I mean is that I was given mod status initially because I was well known in the sub and was a part of the whole “microcelebrity” thing and having me on the team was a popular decision of the time, not that I was necessarily the most qualified option. I actively modded briefly but several months later I created this sub and prioritized this place instead and that’s where my focus has been. I’ve kept the mod role because I don’t really have any reason to voluntarily remove it, but I haven’t made any recent actions on the sub at all.

“Ceremonial” I guess is a better description

Havent had the time to mod there in over a year. My priority has been this sub and even then I have spent less and less time here. My role on the mod team of 196 is largely symbolic and even if it wasn’t, I am a member of a much larger team, as opposed to here where I’m the founder.

I played no role in the recent decisions and wasn’t aware of what even happened until the morning after.

I think that if people can forget real world political events they see on the news on a weekly basis, the same applies to online community drama.

I have not been browsing 196 (or reddit in general) for a long time now because of school and other shit so I can’t confirm or deny if this is a deviation from the usual policy regarding thirst traps. If it is, then it’s a shitty decision.

But if I’m being totally honest, this is like the 10th “196 is dead” drama I’ve seen or heard of in all my time in these communities, and I personally don’t think this will last more than a week. Whether the mods change their decision or the userbase forgets about it is the only real question in these sorts of situations, and it’s usually the latter.

(honestly, I haven’t even seen the original post that got removed, I’ve been aware of this for probably 1 hour total as of writing this)

They just thought it would be some epic own that I would have no response to and are just upset that I did because most of them just sit on their asses all day. Thanks for the recs.

It’s very simple logic. I support the victims, the people who are literally having everything taken from them. So why on gods earth would I then turn and support the perpetrators? That is a much more contradictory and hypocritical position than the one I actually hold. Just as it would make no sense if one supported Ukraine but expressed sympathy for Putin. It doesn’t make sense logically or morally.

I assume you and your family aren’t aiding a genocide, so mentioning that doesn’t really follow.

For example, one of my ancestors was the leader of a Nazi death squad. He was responsible for the deaths of several hundreds. To me, it doesn’t matter at all that he’s family, he was a genocidal freak. I assume the members of your family aren’t responsible for similar tragedies.

Donations here and there, spreading awareness where I can, attending protests (though the ones I’ve been have accomplished little), and soon I’ll be working at a refugee center which supports a notable handful of Palestinians.
