    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 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.

    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.

      Their rando-bans and content and word restrictions are fundamental flaws with the platform.

      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.

      “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.

    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)

      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.

          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)

        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.)

      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.

      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.

      All the people with critical thinking skills are leaving in droves. Leaving a massive bot farm authoritarian echo chamber in its wake.

    I was banned for harassment. I followed 6 accounts that posted tons of misinformation about elons nazi salute.

    They’d defend him at all cost, call everyone else sheep, “Roman salute”, he’s autistic, you’re such a n idiot for hating on him. Posted still frame images of anyone with raised hands and claimed them to be identical to nazi boy Elon.

    I got a notification every time they posted something to a sub I frequented. I would comment their recent post history and how their most extreme lies in defense of Elon.

    Reddit said that was considered harassment. Not what those accounts did, but my action to their posts and comments. Spez is such a fucking spineless cunt.
