I used what I thought is the formal way of doing it: lichess.org/report . I tried twice. I have no access to what I am reporting that way but I assume you do?

I do yes, and that's the correct way to report. However, the last report I'm seeing in your account is of two years ago, that's why I was wondering. Did you report any of the team leaders or the tournament creator? Please do not share the username(s) here, just say yes or no.
Tragically, it seems like hate speech and unabashed fascism have become increasingly acceptable in the public eye.

Godspeed OP, fight the good fight.
And "A Lichess Moderator" as I already caught your attention the link to this tournament was posted by no-one else but GM Karjakin (who unfortunately took the side of evil) on his telegram channel. Made him happy. I think it is much worse than individuals expressing their opinion in chats ( I actually believe they have their right). But this is an obvious abuse of the nature of chess tournaments and as you ignored my reports it made me think you are ok with it.

I reported after I saw Karjakin's post about it which was probably few months ago. And then I did it again after no action or acknowledgement on lichess side. I think first time I reported the winner, second time I reported the organizer. It is not that much about these individual, just wanted to draw your attention to how the platform is being abused.
As I have already said, I am not seeing any of the two reports you claim of sending but I'm not doubting you of course, it could be a problem with my tools.
I have informed the team about it and we will check everything thoroughly.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
It's interesting when you have dissidents who are part of an ethnic minority.

"go away" is understable, but it is also anti-democratic? no, that isn't it. what's the word I'm looking for?
I really didn't see any antisemitism or pro war activism. I assume it was in reference to the chess championships occuring in Israel. I did see the tournament was open to all . I understand you may see it differently or perhaps you are aware of information I do not have yet I don't quite understand the charges you have leveled as I don't see evidence of such intent. Respectfully intended .
