Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

What happened? A bunch of people got banned for asking for this a while back
ZPoster died for the emoji. RIP to a real one, argued too much but had been on the right, but difficult side enough to be memorialized for treating these posting grounds as trenches the way others meme. Used the tactics of the dark side (van evasion and extra accounts) to force the correct decision, and paid the price. Carcosa had to hire a hitman to maintain our integrity but did so only after we were ultimately corrected on this issue
One of the most 1 sided struggle sessions that I've seen on this site. Most of the discussion turned into a conversation about mod action instead of whether or not to add the emoji.
It was so one sided that the writers had to shoehorn in another Zohran electoralism sticky to maintain audience engagement.
Just saw there was another one a few days ago. I'm the one I was thinking of was years ago
It got relitigated the other day, Z_poster finally got their wish. They also renamed
Admins changed their minds I guess
