      Can‘t even say Deny Defend Depose in that sub, and who knows what else can get you banned there. Saying BT deserved it, for sure would. Not blaming mods for that since they‘re just trying their best to keep it alive, but Reddit has been lost to any controversial discourse for a long time (it‘s why I signed up here originally).

      Like yeah, I‘d like to have a moral argument with someone who thinks political violence is always wrong, but we ain‘t ever going to have it on there in a real way, cause if I don‘t self-censor my side of it, it‘s going to get me banned.

        Maybe it’s a different era of Reddit, but they’ve always showed double standards with things like this. Nobody in the site management batted an eyelid over Elliot Rodger’s 137 page incel manifesto, nor did they really give a shit when uncut ISIL execution videos were being openly posted on r/WatchPeopleDie.

        But God forbid you use the phrase “Deny Defend Depose” in a comment…

          I think the thing that scared them the most was the left and right in perfect agreement against them. Their greatest fear is the lower classes coming together and finally participating in the class war they’ve been running.

    Reddit moderators doing a 31 billion dollar corporation’s bitch work for free.

    Not only that but they’re protecting the interests of people who make more money in a single year than they’ll make in their entire lifetime.

      Surely this would be the Reddit admins banning the subreddit? I can’t imagine the mods banning their own subreddit, if that’s even possible.

    I got banned permanently off Reddit just for supporting him, that’s what pushed me to find an alternative

        r/ActualPublicFreakouts has shootings and decapitations uploaded there daily.

        It’s the current r/WatchPeopleDie

    Im surprised r/freeluigi and r/luigemangionejustice havent been banned they banned r/mariosbro and r/freeluigi2 as well as some others. Our corporate overlords are pissing their $5,000 pairs of designer slacks. And look at the loosers on r/fuckluigimangione it would be funny if it wasn’t so sad https://imgur.com/gallery/rbqSckH

      He should spend time out. Touch some grass. Jurors should be aware of nullification.

        Nullification might not even be necessary. Several of the alleged photos taken had him have some minor differences that can tell me they are different person.

    It’s censorship. If I in theory set up a Lemmy instance to share CP, what could Lemmy do? maybe release a statement they don’t like that content.

    I’ll probably get downvoted for this but I feel like Lemmy is like the salty friend who can’t get over their ex and gets off on the issues going on in their life without them.

      It’s not weird or particularly unhealthy to look back at the person you were close to, but betrayed you, and realize that all of your interactions with them were actually them being an asshole, and the people who still support them are assholes too. Nor is it particularly unhealthy to have a bit of schadenfreude about the suffering of those who chose the asshole over you, while hopefully still having some sympathy and hope that they escape.

      It’s how I feel about Taylor swift fans, at least.

        Not to be rude or anything, but it sounds like you’ve got an unhealthy relationship with social media. I still use reddit for the subreddits I’m interested in, I don’t read other subreddits anymore just because the content is bad. Like I don’t care about what reddit does or what Lemmy does, if I don’t enjoy it, I’ll leave, it’s that simple.

        You don’t have to commit to anything, you are also allowed to enjoy the communities of reddit, even if you feel like Reddit did you wrong. It’s not worth spending your energy on something you can’t control. Reddit is shit, that is the only reason why I only check in once a week or something, and to be frank those communities are dying if they aren’t already dead.

        For me it’s only about if I enjoy it and that includes how it’s being run. But anyways things tend to become bad when they grow large, I will probably spend less time with Lemmy when it has become bigger. And then I’ll have find another social media platform.

      In this case, the ex is an influential person with millions of friends, so what they do matters.

      It’s not that simple. People want to participate where communities are, some are still largely on reddit. There’s also the free labor active submitters do regarding submissions, and they decide on what platform they participate in.

        People want to participate where communities are, some are still largely on reddit.

        So much of the community atmosphere of the site has been undercut and replaced by automated accounts that generate content from historical human conversations. Like, straight up, whole content threads get lifted and shifted between posts to create the illusion of participation. If you’ve been on the site for a while, its downright surreal.

        Between that and the militant banning of anyone who isn’t an empty-headed twit or a reflexive cheerleader, there’s very little human activity left on the site to speak of. You’re not in a community, you’re in a graveyard. Most of the people you’re talking to are digital ghosts.

        There’s also the free labor active submitters do regarding submissions

        Less and less by year. Again, it can’t be stressed how much of Reddit is entirely automated. A handful of accounts, often directly or indirectly managed by the source of the content, are doing the lion’s share of the posting and commenting. Real human interaction is being minimalized. Reddit’s real money isn’t in posters anymore, its in lurkers. You’re supposed to look, not touch.
