    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.

      Or did something just go over my head?

      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.

    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.

    “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”

    Really? Fuck that shit. Good thing I deleted my reddit account. I technically have one that I just use for porn. But I sure as hell am not posting anything with that shit.

      My 15 year old account got banned last week, too. On one hand it kinda sucks, but on the other hand it feels good to get out of that site’s echo chamber. Reddit is really circling the drain.

      Here’s my new thing.

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

      As far as they’re concerned we’re the problem and it solved itself.

    The peace in peaceful is not of the “peace and war” kind. It’s of the “peace and quiet” kind.

    Important distinction.

    Ironically, what Musk posted is perfectly acceptable ( in and of itself, ignoring the context of the person who is saying it ) since violence or the threat of violence is sometimes necessary to prevent things getting worse. For example, “Ukraine should be helped to defend itself” is a call for violence.

    Which is why it’s such a bullshit excuse to ban speech for that reason alone. I got banned for suggesting France might help out the USA by shipping over any surplus guillotines. I’m sure they would have no issue at all if I were enthusiastically advocating genocide. Never mind, I needed a push to make the move to Lemmy ; )

      The line is state sponsored violence, generally. Likely with a little bias on what state is on the giving and receiving ends of said violence. Thats the rule at least so far as I can tell, at least.

        I think you’re right, but that’s even more concerning. A fully fascist take on what is acceptable speech.

      Eastern ex-ukraine should be helped to defend itself from fascist Banderites.
      That gets you banned from Reddit, or some mild criticism of the Palestinian genocide.
      The vile calls for violence and racist Russophobia on there could stay on there.
      Not a peep from the hypocrites then.
      Now that the other part of the US regime controls Reddit they suddenly wake up and care about free speech.
      Why am I not surprised?

        Be as outraged as you want but at the end of the day social media is a business and they’ve chosen to no longer do business with you.

        If anything, be outraged at all the other shit the oligarchy are planning to do.

      It’s good to be the king.

      He doesn’t have to be the one actually inflicting the violence on others, but with his power and influence he is capable of great violence by making others carry it out in his name.

      Fucking billionaires… :/
