        Some communities just don’t really have an equivalent elsewhere but I’m purely only lurking now. Don’t comment anymore, use a modded third party client on mobile and ublock origin on desktop.

        Reddit was full of false outrage and fake stories long before GPT ever existed. Just the last few people that were willing to post have kind of wandered off. I think we got the best of them here

        On the odd occasion I go to reddit front page, AITA is always at the top with an obviously AI generated ridiculous story.

    Glorifying violence is A-Ok when the government awards people the Medal of Honor.

    Reddit needs to come up with a more accurate excuse for their censorship.

      Their excuse is monnney. Look at Twitter, people are pulling their ads because they are not happy with what’s happening there. Keep the people who give you money happy and everything is fine. No matter if you would have to sell your soul (like Disney in China, to not get banned and miss millions of subscribers). Since the ad companies usually are big corporate, you can imagine what reddit their stance is.

    i would argue no, but then again, there’s a difference between posting it, and supporting it.

    glorifying and supporting violence is almost always against the rules on any platform anywhere. So.

    Hi I’m new to Lemmy since Reddit decided to permaban me due to support I showed for Luigi. Good riddance to be honest. I should have fully quit when they shut down Apollo but didn’t know Lemmy existed.

      Just keep in mind that if you are not satisfied with how your particular insrance is running, you don’t have to stop using lemmy like you did with reddit. You can switch to a different instance and keep on chilling!

      No more switching services! Gotta love this place.

        To expand on this: You can migrate accounts fairly easily. You can export your subscribed communities, and import them into your new account. So the only real thing you’re losing is your post history, but even that is seen as a bonus by many users who are looking to burn their old account.

          Additionally, some instances disable up/downvotes as well so you don’t even need to worry about internet points if you don’t want to.

          It’s worth looking around and finding a few instances you like and checking them out. Some tend to have their old local culture which is kind of neat.

    Why would it be? The only actual reference to violence is the fact that it happened (“[…] faced it with such brutal honesty.”) and the reasoning behind it.

      If only Thomas Jefferson had somehow managed to cap a member of English Royalty. Instead, then man crossed the pond to suck up to Louis XVI, shortly before the man went full Ropespierre’s Necktie.

      But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government and provide new guards for their future security.

    I’ve definently noticed how more and more things are being disallowed to talk about on social media. It’s just a matter of which platforms has which rules, but the rules are also changing as more and more people are complaining about reading things they don’t agree with.

    I suspect we will just discuss memes in the future, and politics, since politics is something that the leaders want us to care about and fight eachother over.

    I think federal government probably sent a pretty please over to reddit HQ to censor this.

    They’re afraid of it fomenting further dissent. It’s a delicate situation when the plebs are upset. A little bit is OK, in fact preferable. But too much can lead to a chain reaction that cannot be controlled.

    Reddit said so because it’s CEO is known to be a greedy bastard who threw everything and everyone Bunder the bus for money. Luigi would not approve
