Hey all. I’d like to open an official discussion regarding the upturning of the prior Hexbear party line on an :israel-cool: emote proper with the unambiguous Zionist flag.

I want to preface this by saying this is not in a ‘ceding the issue’ way. Over the past year I’ve been trying to engage in self-crit w/rt the chauvinism I’ve internalized growing up in a Liberal Zionist household, and my personal viewpoint on it did a 180 some months back, so I want to reopen this discussion proper in my personal capacities as Self-Appointed Emote Czar.

The reason it’s taken long enough beyond that is prior to July, I was essentially half-engaged with the site in order to finish out my degree. After that, it’s been mostly inertia of confirming with the admins and other /c/Judaism mods, as well as having to be rigorous about my job search personally giving me little free time to coordinate this.

I do not want to center myself in this conversation more than I inadvertently already have, so I will leave my own opinion on the issue as a comment rather than explaining further here.

The consensus we’ve roughly come to is to open up the discussion in an official manner for a day or so. After that, I’ll weigh the discussion in an entirely vibes-based manner (sorry Dean Norris enjoyers) and we’ll alter Hexbear party line on it accordingly.

    It is possible if we made a separate post “should Nak be a mod?” We would get many in favor of them but that isn’t how we have done mod actions against mods in the past. As proven by the amount of alts doing that type of voting for something like mod actions is easily manipulated

    I’m not committing to a course of action right here and now but all the modteam is aware of this post and can read the users issues with Nakoichi

      Okay, and I would maybe agree with that if Nakochi was even rejecting calls to be removed, but Nakochi already explicitly conceded the call in this very post. So, again, what else is left to discuss? Are admins/mods going to have sole say in the decision since a popular vote can be ‘easily manipulated’? What’s the process for appeal if the admin/mod team disagrees with users at large?

        The point is to give everyone involved, in this case their fellow mods, a chance to speak before taking an action. There will be action today I stand by that, so is it too much to ask for a couple more hours?

          No, not necessarily. I’m just honestly trying to understand what the process is since Nakoichi themselves already agreed to the terms being asked for repeatedly in the thread. It may be so obvious to you to not need explanation because you participate in them regularly but I genuinely have no idea what you are going to do or the process.

          Is this more of a breakout room, personal discussion on the issue before the action is carried out or is this more of a private vote among mods/admins on the issue to discuss which action to carry out? If the latter, then what is the appeals process if there’s disagreement?

          There’s no other place for me to ask really, there’s no Hexbearian Union for me to ask about processes, so I’m just checking in with you in real time about what is going to happen next. I know emotions are hot right now (rightfully) but I’m asking in good faith here.
