    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 instance 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.

    No, it’s not.

    It’s an acknowledgement that there’s a massive problem.

    These companies are literally willing to bankrupt you to death. Their behavior is inexcusable. They profiteer off of human suffering.

    We live in a country founded by people who were unhappy with the status quo and were willing to pick up a gun to change things. We shouldn’t act surprised that it still happens. I don’t think we should celebrate it, because it’s sad that this is happening in the first place, that someone feels they need to do this. This problem is solvable, and it can be solved civilly, or it will be solved uncivilly.

      Thats exactly how I feel “Its sad that this is looking like the solution”

      Like, it had to come to this? You couldnt just set up your little racket and keep the golden goose fat and happy? Or atleast adequately provided for and left alone?

      We’re are explicitly given the right to bear arms as a check to tyrannical governance.

      Our government outsourced their tyranny to corporations.

      Corporations should be well aware of strings being attached.

    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.

      They must have some data that this time some thing is awakening against the corporate greed.

    Anyone with half a brain can see that it isn’t “glorifying” violence, it’s merely giving an explanation of why Luigi did what he did. Glorification would play more into pathos, but the manifesto is mostly ethos

      the most dangerous thing to a government isn’t the people. it’s not the external forces.

      it’s an idea so relatable to the public that the government loses containment of it and it spreads like fire in a grainery.

    In this case, I think of more like Guy Fawkes……there is clearly a problem with the us death care system. And we are right to be angry with these companies that profiteer on our sickness and in some cases that result in people dying from delayed or denied care. Is is right to murder someone? No, of course not. I think the question to ask is who is the real murderer?

    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.

    Thank you for posting this. I’ve been curious about what he wrote.

    Shorter than some git commit messages. I’m a fan.

    Spez knows he is at the mercy of some of these same kinds of CEOs. Then again, Spez only cares about Spez and cares little of the Reddit community.

    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.
