I just got a ban for “encouraging violence”. Someone asked “what will you do to celebrate when he dies?” Someone else started talking about how they have a fantasy about getting the death note and how they’d put that to use. I chimed in with my silly fantasy of using a seance to end politicians’ careers by getting them possessed by the ghost of GG Allin, and enjoying the mayhem that would ensue.

So, anyway, right after that, I found out that all the people who were so transgressive to have actually liked that comment of mine can, as of a couple days ago, expect punishment as well. How draconian.

And so that was that. No sense in being lorded over on the internet by the same people who run HOAs. It’ll be fun watching Reddit flush itself down the toilet from over here, I expect.

    Came here after the moderation tool censoring of ‘eat the rich’ and ‘Luigi’. That’s some billionaire protective bs.

      Keep in mind, a couple of instances including lemmy.world have removed what they consider calls to violence when it comes to Luigi. So general support will be fine, but if you ever end up crossing a line, remember that there are plenty of other instances which allow you to say: Brian Thompson had it coming, kill the billionaires, hang Musk in the town square, and the only thing wrong with doing a Luigi is that random acts of terror against the owner class just aren’t sustainable (see Propaganda of the Deed assassinations in the late 1800s/1900s), you need an organized movement to support this kind of action.

        Several specific lemmy communities have taken action against anti billionaire posts. I’ve since blocked those communities.

        Yeah. I’ve definitely has comments censored, but only in .world.

        Reasons:-

        • Politeness
        • Civility
        • Propo

        I was also banned there for refusing to get into an argument with a Mod.

      Reddit Refugee here. Got my last “permanent” ban from that place. No idea why, don’t care. Greener pastures, I hope.
