While I hope that I’m wrong, there is at least a very real possibility that in the immediate future, the US empire will launch an unprovoked and immoral attack on a socialist state (Venezuela) in order to secure that country’s resources. It is understandable that, should that happen, many of you will be feeling extreme anger at these acts and post about it here.
In light of that, the admins and mods of Hexbear figured we’d remind everyone:
No fedposting
That includes, but is not limited to, talking about threats of violence against people or groups of people; including if you add “in minecraft” or “[redacted]”.
We really don’t need to come under fed scrutiny (or worse). Ultimately, fed posting doesn’t even serve much purpose other than “blowing off steam” – and that comes at the cost of potentially putting the site and its users in legal jeopardy. There are more productive ways to vent that anger.
Also, if you end up having a comment removed for fed posting, I’d urge you to not take it personally.
And saying this as a user, not an admin: a little revolutionary optimism never hurt anyone. We must have clear eyes about reality, but as socialists we also should have faith in the power of people to resist oppression.
(Edited for grammar)
Yeah but they can make clearer rules that make sense outside of an American context, especially when it comes to protecting the site and admins.
Doubt the feds here will start an investigation for joking about blowing Elon’s head off. But you might get into trouble for wishing misfortune on the IDF or even just talking about freeing Palestine between bodies of water.
Well imagine you’re joking, you’re joking, and then somebody actually does it.
Honestly even intels probably dont have unlimited funding given our overlord are hoarding all the money so you’d prolly go through the nets but why tease the devil
