with that being said, the other mod and i have to make a living and it’s not like yikyak is paying us to moderate. we moderate during our free time. i also suffered a heavy loss earlier this summer and have spent less time on social media whilst trying to process the grief. speaking for myself, i am not going to prioritise the internet over my real life. that’s ridiculous. just became there are people who are chronically online does not mean i, or the other mod, need to be in the same boat.

i understand it is our responsibility to maintain a healthy, positive environment within the community but we also have responsibilities that trump moderating. yikyak has moderators available for the entire application, so if you see something, simply report it. i’ve never had an issue using that readily available function and 9 times out of 10, whatever i report gets removed.

meanwhile, what the mods moderate:

“he mods took down my post downplaying antisemitism and calling Jews racist but not random comment #1084 on a post from 3 weeks ago. They must be nazis.”

you must be illiterate. downplaying antisemitism? where?

Anonymous #3 9h

and zionists are racists. it really is that simple

Anonymous _orangutan 9h

yeah, so this is not good, you’re right. but zionists aren’t the issue, it’s kahanists and anyone who subscribes to their ideology. on the other hand, you really don’t have a rhyme or reason to be in this community other than to be a bad actor. your reputation follows you and i’ve seen the vitriolic antisemitism you have spewed in the past.

we also remove YOUR comments because of who YOU are. if you find your comments and/or posts being removed, it’s purely because you tend to be a bad actor.

i don’t know, for example wanting to drop a nuke on thousands of jews.

the settler colonies are the largest proponents of cluster munitions and bombs were more in line with Democratic policy on the issue than an arms embargo. in no universe would the U.S. ever drop cluster munitions on Tel Aviv. they would just continue arming a fellow settler colony

and Jewish people are not the only people who live in “israel”, like the “US”, it also claims to be a multi-ethnic democracy. both are clearly racialized and colonial societies, both presently spearheaded by a supremacist movement

no, that wouldn’t happen, but expressing the desire for it to happen and for thousands upon thousands of civilian casualties (including non-jews) is insanely antisemitic and overall abhorrent.

Anonymous _orangutan 9h

it is still antisemitic to have a desire to just kill jews, believe it or not. it’s the equivalent of bombing a synagogue in the united states or anywhere else where casualties will primarily be jewish but include non-jewish parties as well.

i will go take a look. thank you for making me aware of this. now, please leave our community alone as you are not welcomed here.

such a shame, i harbor no ill will towards Jewish peoples, they are not the issue. it’s the expansion of colonialism that is the problem. Jewish peoples live all over the world, Palestine one of them. much of the violence is colonial in its nature. what is best for all is a singular secular state that recognizes Palestinian right to their land without separate legal privileges. like with the ending of Apartheid in SA, many settlers up and left once the privileges dried out

Anonymous _orangutan 9h

i feel similarly toward all of the settler colonies, israel is not unique in this regard. similar processes need to occur in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and America

Anonymous _orangutan 9h

yeah, so you’re clearly unaware of the history behind the singular secular state which was proposed by jews prior to israel becoming a state. jews proposed a state named “palestine” and for all living in the land to be freed of british colonialism. in turn, pogroms happened against the jews. a two state solution would be best for both parties, with governments that prioritise long-term peace between both nations.

anyways, i don’t want to hear that you harbour no ill will towards jews because wanting to nuke tel aviv is exactly that- harbouring ill will towards jews and anyone who lives near them. i do not condone violence in any form and do not condone talks of violence. so, please leave and have a good rest of your night.
