Getting banned from reddit is doing yourself a favor. Leave that site and avoid looking back when possible. Trash site.
So Luigi is peaceful then right, so why did the police go after him?
Elon does not deserve to reference dark souls.
Imagine being handed the black knight’s halberd, with the stats to wield it, before asylum demon‽
That is fucking Elon!
It’s a true statement.
It’s almost like the person who wrote that text in the photo didn’t actually understand what any of the words they were saying meant. Like actually. lol
I’ve been told that musk didn’t come up with that quote himself. I didn’t look further into it, but it’s likely that the person who originally wrote it understood what they were talking about, and musk just thought it sounded cool. Hell, I think it sounds cool, might use it in a villainous monologue or some shit.
I totally agree. What a load of bullshit.
got in trouble for ‘liquidated’. Secret word list code for violence. Filters used to be useful and just replace the offending text.
People should be leaving Reddit. They are poor stewards of our content for innumerable reasons. Go back to forums. Go to Lemmy. The key thing is that we should not have centralized arbiters of our discussions online.
We can’t let billionaires own the town hall if we plan on having honest conversations. I am glad I finally found this place, and wish I would have left reddit earlier.
Deleted reddit today, just starting to figure out Lemmy. Could not stand the hive mind anymore
I have had a much better time on Lemmy, but I’m kind of the target audience in a few ways, so I’m biased. But I do think less harmful, more productive discussion is more likely to happen on this platform, I feel more comfortable discussing and less likely to be called slurs or called out (rather than called in which is undeniably more effective, and coincidentally feels much more common on Lemmy), and I feel like I’ve actually found folks I could see myself working with in some capacity, such as a project to help others patch up their data vulnerabilities, for a simplified example of an idea I’m considering.
Welcome btw :)
I just joined recently and was lurking until I saw your comment. Figured I’d join in :)
Aye welcome to Lemmy! :) Happy to see you here
Left reddit… left Google… left Amazon… left meta… never had Twitter.

Their rando-bans and content and word restrictions are fundamental flaws with the platform.
I think there will be a mass exodus from reddit in the coming years. The site is compromised and the censorship is out of control.
Indeed. I deleted my reddit account recently. I like it better here anyways. The pace is slower and the people seem more reasonable here too. My stress levels have decreased significantly since I left Meta and Reddit and that is at once wonderful and scary. Social media is a cancer.
The world needs to forcefully liquidate the wealth of all billionaires and perpetually redistribe that excess wealth so nobody can ever be rich again.
The rich that push back need to be labled as dangerous terrorists that are a threat to our species, and will need to be put down like rabid dogs.
They sentenced a person to death for 12 billion dollar bank fraud in Vietnam. I feel like their culture has the right idea.
Wow I thought I was reading one of my own posts. Greetings, comrade!
We don’t need to redistribute the wealth. Destroying it would work just fine.
“The world” is a convenient way to say “somebody else with a gun”.
This kind of thing is never done peacefully. So, if you’re going to advocate for violence, at least be honest about the fact that you’re looking for someone else to perpetrate violence on your behalf because you’re too much of a coward to do it yourself.
I have a gun and I would do it if I didn’t have anything to lose and cared about my fellow man that much.
But no I’m not gonna save the world for you because you are a little bitch
No, I’m all for doing it but I’m tired of liberal cowards talking about Ghandi and saying “you first, chief!”
They’ve also been banning accounts for liking comments about Green Mario doing nothing wrong. It’s about the closest thing to thought crime I’ve ever seen. (PS Green Mario did nothing wrong)
He absolutely did something wrong, he got caught.
And I felt his manifesto was not very well written.
I don’t mean this as an attack at all, but isn’t calling Luigi “Green Mario” a way to comply with the wired reddit cencorship?
We are on Lemmy, you can speak freely here.
Or did something just go over my head?
Also innocent until proven guilty, a lot of people seem to forget that one.
It’s actually pretty likely he’s not the guy. While they have a picture of him from a nearby hostel, the picture from cctv at the scene doesn’t match quite so well.
Im agree, but my gripes stem from the timing of how and when they picked him up. Rolling a nat 1 on disquise in a golden arches hundreds of miles away with all the evidence makes me think one of two things. 1) he isnt the guy, the NYPD needed their pound of flesh and just made it all up or 2) they are sure its him, but are unwilling to explain to the press how they know because big brother shit.
In addition, with the mayor not shutting up about the investigation, that perp walk, and the media shrieking “oh no, he’s hot”, the is no way he is getting an unbiased jury in NYC. (I expect it to be the opposite, but thats the ACAB talking)
I don’t think NYPD is allowed access to the big brother shit.
I made a comment self censored to “Mario bros” on reddit. Got a permanent ban. They’re going scorched earth on anything moderately inflammatory
Wild.
Whether or not they were being ironic, we HAVE to stop capitulating to corporations deciding how we speak and what we can and can’t talk about. They successfully turned our own social messaging into a justification to block out conversations about issues that are actually affecting us.
(No, to the chud about to cry about being censored for spreading misinformation about vaccines, that doesn’t go against corporate incentives, that goes against reason and knowledge, there’s a difference and if you can’t tell, you will when you get older.)
Or, if I might add, in case of anti-vaxxers, IF you get older ;-)
Maybe people were actually saying “Green Mario” and not Luigi.
Agreed, you can refer to him by name here lol. Or Saint Luigi if you prefer ;)
(PS Green Mario did nothing wrong)
He killed a guy. So he did.
He killed a corpo. So he did nothing wrong.
Violence is a double edged sword. It can easily swing the other way. Elon might be misjudging how that sword is balanced.
judging by the spine of the left, i don’t think he anything to fear.
The faster everyone deletes their Reddit, the better we will be. Fuck Reddit.
I only have one account for porn right now. Made with a temporary email. I won’t shed any tears if i had to delete that one.
There’s plenty here lol. No excuse! lol, jk
So why isn’t Elon Musk banned then?
Rules for thee not for me.
Because it is a post to an entirely different social media site.
“I’m peaceful because I am capable of kicking your ass” has true mall ninja energy.
“you studied humanity [and made friends] while I studied the blade”
I remember reading self-defense writings by Marc MacYoung (who is a fascist mind you, but he is very good at martial arts and understanding criminal dynamics) and the first ever time I heard the ‘better a monster who can control it, than a sheep who is not capable of violence’ or that effect, and he ripped that entire saying a new one. He said how once the violent beast in someone is built up, it simply won’t be easy to control and will fuck you up. There is simply no way around it. Criminals, abusers, and assholes whom people want nothing to do with and people who spend countless nights in jail for petty shit are all the actual ‘warriors in a garden’ come to life.
Also the whole thing is shit. During ww1 and ww2 the US had a pathetic military at the start, but when the war got going they still outfought the Nazis and Imperial Japanese who were fully and completely into the whole permanent warrior mentality.
Ban Elon Musk then??? Sick of reading abt Reddit bending over backwards to defend him & Trump
I don’t think they are defending them. Reddit has changed their behaviour to keep from becoming the focus of the US administration. The same way all those who donated to Trumps inauguration. It’s about survival. That being said, it makes Reddit irrelevant.
The banhammer is pounded quite randomly over there.
