I came here to escape Reddit and to say FREE LUIGI!!!
We get it. Reddits CEO is a scared little coward.
That’s weird because Luigi didn’t kill anyone. He’s innocent.
If I wanted to promote violence, I’d praise the still unidentified murderer of Brian Thompson.
I’ve heard somewhere that Google CAPTCHA is also partially based on the answers given by majority. So, assuming this is true, if we could get enough users to select these boxes, we could force the CAPTCHA into accepting this as an answer.
Yea the whole thing smells like a stitch-up. Cops couldn’t afford to look incompetent or let their massive manhunt drag on too long, so they did their usual thing and picked a vaguely plausible target and build a narrative to pin it on them.
Exactly!! FREE LUIGI!! LUIGI MANGIONE WAS SET UP!!
i KNOW he is innocent as he was with me and we definitely weren’t murdering anyone. whistles
That’s how I ended up on Lemmy a few days ago. I was looking for a replacement for Reddit anyway, so the timing was convenient.
Just got banned! It was an honor!
Imo, this is proof of how scared the corpos are of letting him become a figurehead of the fight against them. I love it.
Nobody is asking the parasite’s opinion on this topic.
Luigi is an American hero and the corpo is the enemy of the American people.
You have to be a brain dead NPC not to see these self evident facts.
The system of insurance clearly raises prices to some euclidean point where its optimizing profits versus killing customers. How do you blame CEO instead of the government, who control the insurance company regulation, the hospitals, and the money printer?
If you’re expecting the good hearts of the average CEO to prevent harm to your society you’re a fewel.
Aca regulates the modern health insurance industry…
Exactly. This is a sign of how terrified they are of Luigi. Say his name!!! LUIGI!
I’m here because Reddit has turned to shit. They post a rule about upvoting violence will get you banned, so upvoting a comment that says FREE LUIGI will get you banned but upvoting a video of someone getting stabbed to death or a human being turned into red paste will just be another day at the office. Let’s be real here, they only want to silence specific people without saying out loud who they want to silence.
I was banned for being critical of Tesla. Not Elon but Tesla. They said I was promoting or glorifying violence because I said Tesla has “Enron syndrome” they denied the appeal.
I just migrated from Reddit today because a post showed a compilation of things that were removed or banned because of “violence”. It included a story about peaceful protestors at a anti Tesla rally were being arrested, a protest for women’s rights outside of blizzard, a post saying trump is trying to start war with Greenland…
They are using it as an excuse to make Reddit fascist, take down any anti-government-backed bullshit.
So you’re saying a site with a history of posting videos of women getting hit “deservedly” is being disingenuous when violence is directed at the powerful? Say it ain’t so.
Well bye bye Reddit. It was nice to know ya.
Yeah this place was just suggested to me by a friend. I like it here so far!
SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS
Luigi is a hero
I just got my first Luigi-upvote warning this morning. The best part is the bots don’t tell you specifically which post or comment you upvoted to get you auto-flagged, so you have no idea how to navigate the minefield of their automated autoban system, they don’t even take the posts down… they leave them up as some sort of honeypot to flag as many people as possible to ban.
I got the warning that I’m one move away from being banned from Reddit after they made these rules. It’s definitely gotten very sketchy feeling over there.
i got caught up in the ban wave last month, havnt commented any other sub since(except a super niche sub that is very lowly monitored to test if im getting shadowbanned). I usually comment in some safe subs that allows some leeway in discussion in luigi, unless they are banning people in “pro-luigi subs too”
They straight up permabanned r/popculture which was one of my favorite subs. They were banned because they showed a lot of support for Luigi. My thing is this: If it starts here, where can it lead? Billionaire republicans actually own Reddit and while they have previously opposed Trump, they only seem to be censoring leftist voices (picking and choosing what is construed as violence). I made an anti Trump comment and got a warning. We know that they all have a price to be bought. I’m thinking the Newhouse family was bought and censorship will only start here.
Twitter: Gone, Reddit: Gone, Facebook: You are NEXT!
All that it’s doing is creating the Streisand effect. Heh.
more like enshittification effect. i think stresaind only reveals something that is not open to the “public”
Agreed, nothing can turn redditors off of reddit
they have to be shadowbanned/sitewide ban by the recent filters for them to decouple from reddit.
I found an article here for anyone else looking for a source that’s not just a clickbait image.
This kind of thing has been a long time coming, it’s why I started looking into decentralized social media in the first place. It actually feels less dangerous today than it did before the plague of GPT bots that make everyone wary of whether they’re reading something written by a human or not.
I left facebook for diaspora in the early 2010s because I felt like an algorithm could influence my opinions too easily. If I see a bunch of my friends voicing one opinion, but all of my friends who voice the opposite opinion don’t make it onto my feed, that will influence my own opinions regardless of how mindful I try to be about that. I was kind of addicted and it took strength to delete my account.
I started looking for reddit alternatives a couple years later for similar reasons. I’m really glad lemmy has finally taken off but things had to get a lot worse for that to happen.
Don’t forget, you’re subject to the same content manipulation here. Mods of many communities are biased if not outright propagandists. The echo chamber is very real. It just isn’t as centralized due to the nature of the technology.
I actually don’t really care about “content manipulation” per se, I’m just trying to avoid astroturfing. Every online community has moderators. I’d prefer that the moderators are people, and people have beliefs and viewpoints that they might want to push.
If Jerry the mod from Minnesota is removing posts that don’t align with his beliefs I don’t give that the same weight as when it’s done by a multibillion dollar corporation whose belief is more profit. If fifty mods are influencing my beliefs in the exact same direction without coordinating with each other, maybe I was actually inclined to believe that in the first place. It’s coordination that makes it dangerous, and there really isn’t a return-on-investment for astroturfing a community of a few thousand users.
You could make an argument that this is a reason to be wary of admins of big instances like .world, but I’m skeptical even that has enough users yet for astroturfing to be worth investing in.
I actually think lemmy took off because the “content manipulation” the devs/admins were engaging in through the early years prevented it from becoming a toxic environment. Almost all the other alternative platforms were focused on minimal moderation and they became awful places as a result.
Wow. You…don’t care? If someone is pushing lies on you?
I will never understand zoomers.
Fuck Spez.
