The “Words of Iron” app gives zionists one centralized hub to promote posts that support Israel by increasing their engagement (including by pasting pre-written comments) while directing users to anti-zionist posts to report in an effort to get the post or the poster removed from the internet. It’s a zionist brigading app.

    Yeah, there’s a lot of things fucked with alienation under capital. KC hasn’t directly plugged anything or tried to monitize Hex, and isn’t getting any preferential treatment if that happens.

    Until then you’re just being weird to one user and doubling down on it when called out. Your problems with parasociality are shit excuse for being antisocial, jacketing people included.

      I disagree and feel like big time streamers using their handle and mentioning their content is the same as rolling out a red carpet. Clearly coming fresh to a community doing the latter is tasteless and will be frowned upon by the community. The only reason i know that Kira twitch streams is because they mentioned it in this thread.

      I have long held and maintained that i did not approve of twitch, its not personal to the user. I’m surprised that it’s held favorably amongst many of you.

      Please dont call me weird or other me, please engage with what I’m saying.

          Im heated because what im saying isnt being responded to and im being called weird and now told to logout? Can you sympathize with that? I’ll stop posting though, I’m wasting time at work so I’m in an easy spot to fixate. I apologize to anyone if I offended them.

        Same, I’m very far out of the loop for zoomer e-celebs and twitch/discord is somehow worse cytube/AIM.

        Users are allowed to talk about themselves and what they do. We’ve had a lot of user-created content on hex before, and glancing thru KC"s posts, seems perfectly capable of on-topic posting without plugging anything or giving MLM grift vibes. Usually the focus on opsec here keeps things more abstract, but im seeing a poster first and plugs second.

        If that changes i’ll ban

          Fair but is there any room for the discussion to be no plugs and no handle?

          Like hypothetically if hbomberguy makes an account and starts posting here with the same handle that would make me uncomfortable under the same reasoning I’ve explained before. The dynamics become unequal considering one person is a YTer with 11 millions subs and die hard fans and I’m just regular mokey.

                That applies double for Hasan, except its @[email protected] now.

                We already both accept community content & ban shill-bots. It’s always been a matter of degree & taste, and KC is fine. She doesn’t have a multi-million subscriber count to hug the site to death with, isnt pumping anything beyond mentioning her stream’s existance when relevent/asked, and posts in a variety of unrelated topics just like every other poster here.

                If you wanna talk about parasocialization, alienation, the enshittification of the web, ect, theres lots of ways to have that conversation (especially here!) without centering it on fellow user.
