Reddit moderators doing a 31 billion dollar corporation's bitch work for free.

Not only that but they're protecting the interests of people who make more money in a single year than they'll make in their entire lifetime.

Surely this would be the Reddit admins banning the subreddit? I can't imagine the mods banning their own subreddit, if that's even possible.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

/freeluigi is still up

They suppression is brutal but y'all know what to do when any news drops.

Luigi is not guilty and it is a set up, but even if he did it, brain the parasite Thompson deserved it all

[–] Iconoclast@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Can‘t even say Deny Defend Depose in that sub, and who knows what else can get you banned there. Saying BT deserved it, for sure would. Not blaming mods for that since they‘re just trying their best to keep it alive, but Reddit has been lost to any controversial discourse for a long time (it‘s why I signed up here originally).

Like yeah, I‘d like to have a moral argument with someone who thinks political violence is always wrong, but we ain‘t ever going to have it on there in a real way, cause if I don‘t self-censor my side of it, it‘s going to get me banned.

That's the goal, they don't want people talking about it in any other way besides official propaganda talking points, ideally bickering along left/right circle jerk.

I think the thing that scared them the most was the left and right in perfect agreement against them. Their greatest fear is the lower classes coming together and finally participating in the class war they've been running.

Deny Defend Depose

say it to your insurance company and the FBI will knock shortly

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Political violence is the ONLY REASONABLE RESPONSE LEFT. Everything else has been tried and blocked.

[–] Clbull@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Maybe it's a different era of Reddit, but they've always showed double standards with things like this. Nobody in the site management batted an eyelid over Elliot Rodger's 137 page incel manifesto, nor did they really give a shit when uncut ISIL execution videos were being openly posted on r/WatchPeopleDie.

But God forbid you use the phrase "Deny Defend Depose" in a comment...

You dropped your tinfoil hat.

I got banned permanently off Reddit just for supporting him, that's what pushed me to find an alternative

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Welcome! How did you hear about Lemmy?

[–] Elkot@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Just did a bit of googling and it was recommended

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 1 points 6 months ago
[–] Blaze@feddit.org 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Should someone try to point them to here?

[–] Arghblarg@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago (13 children)

Good luck... reddit admins/mods don't like lemmy references. Only attempt if you don't mind losing your account or permabans from whatever sub you post to.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I mean.....yes. eve if Luigi never existed, yes.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I do it regularly on /r/RedditAlternatives for Lemmy as a whole.

Maybe someone from !luigimangione@lemmy.world could create a post on /r/RedditAlternatives to promote this specific community

Keep zooming to that grave Reddit

[–] meliaesc@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

MarioMangitwo?

[–] FreakinSteve@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Brian Thompson was a mass murderer who deserved to die, as are his peers

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 months ago

The chance of that being setup by the actual Luigi Mangione is 0%.

Other than that, nothing about this says anything about why it was banned. If they were posting beheading videos with CEO faces plastered on top and details on where those CEOs live and go to work, it would be weird if they didn't get banned.

Not on Reddit, not on Lemmy, not on any social media that is at least halfway decent.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Spez getting shot with bullets with /r/jailbait, subreddit, moderator written on them when?

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 months ago

Didn't the r/jb mods just add him as a gag? I didn't think he instilled himself or actively moderated it.

Lots of reasons to hate on spez, but being added as a mod to an ephebophile sub against his will isn't one.

Im surprised r/freeluigi and r/luigemangionejustice havent been banned they banned r/mariosbro and r/freeluigi2 as well as some others. Our corporate overlords are pissing their $5,000 pairs of designer slacks. And look at the loosers on r/fuckluigimangione it would be funny if it wasn't so sad https://imgur.com/gallery/rbqSckH

[–] RedditEnjoyer@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

That one infamous lemmy troll who created all those troll police communities like ThankThePolice and that one rdrama satellite community is also a mod at fuckluigimangione.

[–] max55@lemm.ee 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Good for him, he should spend some time also doing some other things.

[–] uis@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

He should spend time out. Touch some grass. Jurors should be aware of nullification.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Nullification might not even be necessary. Several of the alleged photos taken had him have some minor differences that can tell me they are different person.

I'll probably get downvoted for this but I feel like Lemmy is like the salty friend who can't get over their ex and gets off on the issues going on in their life without them.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 months ago

Ehh, more like were are all hanging out at a local bar and the owner all of a sudden got a case of assholeism. Started going fucking nuts, screwing with food/drink quality and availability, started fucking over the servers and bartenders. We hate him and want all the good people to get out and the place to burn to the ground.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 6 months ago

Yes but this is not it.

We are here to discuss Luigi and how regime is steering the narrative. Reddit is a major social media platform so them supressing Luigi discussion is relevant. Plus a great opportunity to take reddits users;)

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

In this case, the ex is an influential person with millions of friends, so what they do matters.

[–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

It's not weird or particularly unhealthy to look back at the person you were close to, but betrayed you, and realize that all of your interactions with them were actually them being an asshole, and the people who still support them are assholes too. Nor is it particularly unhealthy to have a bit of schadenfreude about the suffering of those who chose the asshole over you, while hopefully still having some sympathy and hope that they escape.

It's how I feel about Taylor swift fans, at least.

It's not that simple. People want to participate where communities are, some are still largely on reddit. There's also the free labor active submitters do regarding submissions, and they decide on what platform they participate in.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

People want to participate where communities are, some are still largely on reddit.

So much of the community atmosphere of the site has been undercut and replaced by automated accounts that generate content from historical human conversations. Like, straight up, whole content threads get lifted and shifted between posts to create the illusion of participation. If you've been on the site for a while, its downright surreal.

Between that and the militant banning of anyone who isn't an empty-headed twit or a reflexive cheerleader, there's very little human activity left on the site to speak of. You're not in a community, you're in a graveyard. Most of the people you're talking to are digital ghosts.

There’s also the free labor active submitters do regarding submissions

Less and less by year. Again, it can't be stressed how much of Reddit is entirely automated. A handful of accounts, often directly or indirectly managed by the source of the content, are doing the lion's share of the posting and commenting. Real human interaction is being minimalized. Reddit's real money isn't in posters anymore, its in lurkers. You're supposed to look, not touch.

Posting violent content? Aren't there literally gore subreddits over there where you can watch people get tortured?

[–] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If the subreddit for fat shaming got banned, I highly doubt gore subreddits still exist lol

[–] SoftTeeth@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

r/ActualPublicFreakouts has shootings and decapitations uploaded there daily.

It's the current r/WatchPeopleDie
