Reddit is going heavy on censoring the thought of protest. For example, I suggested throwing rotten fruit, eggs, and using a megaphone to bother JD Vance at his residence. Because, bluntly, ‘polite’ protest misses the whole bloody point of protest. It is all about making the people in power feel uncomfortable, and to warn them if they keep it up, people will open the 4th box.
I got banned, which will end in three days. But more importantly, it has convinced me: Reddit is controlled by those who don’t understand nor value the 1st Amendment, and why it is crucial for preventing the 2nd Amendment from being exercised.
While it sucks to harass people, the alternative if things progress further is much worse.
When it grew exponentionally, the regime intervened as they did with Facebook and others.
Long before Trump.
All MSM is controled and social media is no different when it reaches a substancial audience.
The hard truth still many don’t want to hear:
Free speech is an illusion, only allowed if you scream into the void.
Anything else they will manipulate or sabotage.
TikTok is the latest example.
You can expect the same here eventually, while the nature of it makes it more difficult the platform will be flooded with bots trying to control the narrative.https://www.mintpressnews.com/jessica-ashooh-reddit-national-security-state-plant/277639/
Twitter: Gone, Reddit: Gone, Facebook: You are NEXT!
I received a permanent ban on Reddit a week ago for similar/like comments, suggesting something to the effect that the Trump/Musk team was something less than stellar. The Mods did not care to hear that. I wonder why?
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”
Oooh ohh ohh ohh ohh ohhh ohhh ohhh luigi mangione (to the tune of Boney M’s Gotta Go Home)
Have Reddit explained why they think simply saying Luigi is inciting violence?
Reddit is owned by rich people and they want us docile and not talk about how easy it is to end their reign.
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.
Here comes another wave of lemmings!
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!
I found this place because someone on Reddit posted this picture.
I don’t think BlueSky is fediverse, just a different Twitter in the end, isn’t it?
Any alternative to Tiktok?
Perhaps Loops? I never used Tiktok, but I have been directed to Loops-Videos. It seems to be similar to Tiktok or YouTube Shorts. However, I don’t know how it works (if you can just watch videos or if you have to register first).
Technically revanced isn’t open source, proprietary parts of youtube remains the same
Yeah I can’t vouch for the whole list, but it is how I found this place.
That’s why I’m here now. Seems like a nice place ya got here.
post feet
This is absolutely crazy. Luigi is not uncommon italian first name, as well as obviously a game name and a pizza brand. Reddit is rediculous.
Imo, this is proof of how scared the corpos are of letting him become a figurehead of the fight against them. I love it.
Exactly. This is a sign of how terrified they are of Luigi. Say his name!!! LUIGI!
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…
at least until MUSK and trump gets thier hand on this.
That was not a compliment to aca
CEO allegedly got wacked over how shiti us system is lol
Oh you mean Mario’s brother‽
Green Mario
you mean waluigis other brother.
Who’s that Luigi Mangione?
Have you heard about my best pal Louis Bigeater?
Ludovicus Manducus
lmao this is gold.
Could I bother you for an explanation? I tried searching, there are a lot of results for the Atellan Farce/Oscan athletic games, but I feel I’m still missing context to get the reference.
Luigi comes from the Latin name Lodovicus
Mangione is Italian for “big eater” or a glutton. Manducus is Latin for glutton. Both are derived from mando, to chew.
❤️ Thank you!!
Nerd 😁
SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS
Luigi is a hero
Just stop using reddit to talk about chads like Luigi.
Just stop using reddit
That too pretty much. Other than some niche topics I don’t use it anymore. Hopefully as lemmy grows those will have better options here too.
I did this and then they changed their algorithm to put things I’m interested in below every poat and they pulled me back in :(
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.
Well done
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.
Sacco and Vanzetti of the modern day.
i KNOW he is innocent as he was with me and we definitely weren’t murdering anyone. whistles
Exactly!! FREE LUIGI!! LUIGI MANGIONE WAS SET UP!!
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.
