Stop going to reddit
I don’t think anything wrong with doing research
But posting should be on fedi only. We seeding the future of the internet here.
I’m sorry but inciting violence gets any instance nuked, broligarch or federated.
Just read this:
Some of the screenshots say: “Muskrat’s DOGE Henchmen have been identified,” “It’s time to do more than dragging names, let’s drag their necks up by a large coil of rope,” “Time to hunt,” “I’ll say it. This nazi stooge needs to be shot,” and other comments sharing a similar sentiment.
Now of course we can gloat that Reddit is bending the knee, but if a Lemmy instance was big enough to attract the same attention, exactly the same thing would have happened. No instance owner wants their whole instance get nuked by feds because the users of the instance are inciting violence.
Shit like that was frequently posted on the_donald back in the day, except targeting minorities, and the admins were fine with it
Bootlickers don’t worry about your stupid minorities or women haha
Politics 101 really…
But presumably adutl men get all bent out of shape when their daddy feelz threatened by the mob 🐸
Tbf a lot of people wanted to nuke the sub, and I would bet a lot of those were fake accounts to force Reddit to ban it. The actual users would’ve been inclined to behave and keep their space.
“a lot of people wanted to” doesn’t matter on a corpo platform.
but if a greedy little pig-boy wants something gone, THAT matters.
I mean, I would agree if reddit wasn’t filled with hateful and violent content but it is. Last week, I reported a popular post joking about raping two women who OD, just to get told to shut up by the mods. So the fact that this loser got the entire community banned just shows the type of justice you can expect from social medias controlled by tech-bros. EDIT: Also, the only good nazi is a very dead nazi.
The mod of a sub I watch confirmed earlier that Reddit is threatening moderators who don’t comply with removing the names of Elon’s goons from their subs, claiming that spreading those names is doxxing.
Those names, by the way, are Gavin Kliger, Ethan Shaotran, Akash Bobba, Luke Farritor, and Edward Coristine.
But nice scapegoat you got there.
Bullshit.
I saw the screenshots. The upvotes didn’t even break 2 digits. At most, the comments would get removed and the users banned. Saying it makes sense for the entire sub to be taken down for the dozen or so idiots is, undeniably, bullshit.
The same types of comments have been made on lemmy. The instances did not get taken down or any legal action. Suggesting otherwise is nonsense.
Yes, Muskrat used the power of the state to enforce laws arbitrarily and for his own benefit.
Weird how that keep happening in states.
Moderation is the law, not banning a sub. The continued banwave today I think speaks to that rather clearly.
arbitrarily
Making it spez, not musk.
Musk isn’t applying any legal recourse here. This was a reddit decision.
very little is considered inciting violence on reddit, I had a comment get removed for that once it was “I dont like h1b visas, it makes it harder for americans to get jobs when hella ppl are already struggling to find jobs with degrees rnow” they removed that for inciting violence than temp banned me for a week for appealing it
I’m putting the tinfoil hat on here, but wouldn’t it be rather easy to have some users go and post stuff like that in the subreddit? How many upvotes did those comments get?
At least on Lemmy, the votes are public, so manipulation can be discovered.
Also, if those posts were talking about Hamas, Hezbollah or maybe Russia, would that also have shut down the subreddit?

Sure, but why whitepeopletwitter of all places? If they’re trying to disrupt dissent surely there are more effective places to put their energy

Not that I think this is what happened, but I think the answer is actually really straightforward - how quickly will reddit bend the knee? Let’s find out.
Thats all it would take is a random thought to get there.
Again, not what I think happened. Enough people elsewhere saying the same things that its bound to get commented in a reddit thread as well.
I do, however, think Musk pushed for the entire sub to get banned, or spez did it proactively as a show of support (with a hope to bury his nose in Musk crack).
Edit: The new banwave makes me think its #2 - spez beak tinted brown with musk crack.
And no instance owner wants to be considered an accessory to a crime planned in their space
I reported a comment along those lines here on Lemmy/Mbin earlier today. They have no place here either.
But has anybody thought about the rich people 🤡
Based comments. How come Lemmy doesn’t have content like that?
Bootlicker… These rules are extra sensitive when the rich are a target… I wonder why
Reddit gets a little smaller
(Yes, I know how serious this is. But by all means, accelerate the downfall of Reddit.)
Luigi situation already educated us on this pattern of behavior…
The rich are sensitive about our opinions. We need to give them more opinion then. That’s part of the information war they wage against us.
Parasites should feel uncomfortable
I liked that reddit. What a fucking pussy cunt. He claimed they broke the law when they didn’t. All they were doing was exposing his illegal shit and criminal underlings, who should all be facing at least 20 years in prison for the stuff they are doing now.
“Pussy cunt” sounds pretty Aussie to me, mate
”They broke the law.” Put me on the jury, and I’ll disagree.
Subscribed just to piss Elon off. Suck it, Elon. Suck. It.
Thus week on: The A-hole in the K-hole…
We are really witnessing the beginning of the fascist oligarch USA.
Acceleration of, sure, but beginning?
What a snowflake.
With all those right-wingers being whimsical snowflakes, we can wait for summer or we can create the fire to melt them.

That name makes it seem like some kind of white power racist group. Like stormer, which got shut down a while ago.
Whitepeopletwitter was a cancer on the internet. While I don’t agree with it being banned, it was an awful, endless far left echo chamber. As a person on the left myself, they made us look bad
