It appears that a user by the name of Kalcifer on lemmy.world is using several smurf accounts to force in a Gadsden flag (175, 175), the same carried by violent Proud Boy thug types, such as Alan Swinney, Enrique Tarrio, Tiny Toese, Joe Biggs, and many others, which I don’t feel should be represented here, and it’s clear that many agree because there were many who rejected the art and attempted to cover it, but it seems Kalcifer couldn’t take that. I think it’s clear that he’ll just make more smurfs, so I’d suggest an IP ban from the canvas, but barring that, I think it would be funny if people tried to thwart his attempts to cheat his way in because it flies in the face of everyone who’s had to put in the time to do it right.
Probable alts include at least the following:
u/anonymous1691293996
u/anonymous1691294527
u/anonymous1691295108
u/anonymous1691296202
All were registered to lemmy.world within the last hour or two, which coincides with the return of Kalcifer after a short break, and all place in rapid succession of each other, displaying eyebrow-raising levels of coordination.
Here’s a rough outline if anyone actually wants to give that a shot, lol
I still think the paint roller should be kept, though.
The paint roller is definitely better. I see people actively filling in the color streaks now.
I think that’s actually mostly Kalcifer and his alts. While I’m glad he’s doing some work for us, it’s because he said he wants to incorporate the paint streak into the flag (i.e. have the snake outlined over top the paint), but I’m not satisfied with this, personally. I don’t feel the flag belongs there in the first place, respectful of surrounding art or not.
