Luigi Mangione

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.

for free

I absolutely assure you that Reddit is getting paid for this shit. Spez doesn't lift a finger without a string attached.

they’re protecting the interests of people who make more money in a single year than they’ll make in their entire lifetime

They're the loyal dogs of the corporate elite because they get the scraps thrown from the table. And when you've got a $25T table, those are some very nice scraps.

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.

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;)

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

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.

Honestly I like these kinds of posts as it lets me know that I made a good choice to not go back to Reddit. Plus I can show these to people I know who still use Reddit which might push them away as well.

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.

What pisses me off is that there is no ready made platform ready to take the user exodus. Digg died basically in 6 months because reddit was ready and super duper easy to sign up.

Lemmy simply isn't easy to sign up for and understand for better or worse

It has NEVER been a real place.

I was there from day zero... to give some context I mailed spez his own source code when his server was misconfigured for VERBOSE error reporting. This was when he was trying to program a user registration system.

The very first conversations had on Reddit, and I'm including myself in this, were all squabbling about useless horseshit.

Reddit has always been a shitshow. Bacon, narwhals, and so forth to convince people that there's some kind of community there, when there is not and never has been.

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

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.

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

Not saying that Brian Thompson deserved what he got

I am
