Can't remember the last time that a headline about someone being shot and killed brought a smile to my face, but here we are. Brian Thompson deserves no sympathy.

[-] Shadywack@lemmy.world 103 points 2 weeks ago

Comment's still up after an hour, yup, looks like the mods here are pretty good. I like this place. Over in /c/news the modlog is insane, looks like it'd be easier to just remove themselves from the Fediverse rather than try and remove all the comments that might hint at "celebrating violence".

[-] poo@lemmy.world 59 points 2 weeks ago

Hopefully it stays that way! Most communities here seem to have a fucked up version of moderation where going "I'm glad Hitler is dead" yields a ban for celebrating violence lol

[-] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 112 points 2 weeks ago

Personally I'm glad Hitler is dead but I don't approve of the person who shot him.

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 33 points 2 weeks ago

My congratulations to Walther for their fine engineering.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 14 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah I hear he's a bit problematic. Dated his cousin or something.

[-] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 13 points 2 weeks ago

That is reddit, and it's only for billionaires and fascists. If you cheer at the murder of a leftist or anti-zionist reporter they might give you gold.

I thought they did away with Reddit Gold.

[-] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

The free stuff they gave on occassion, yes. But you can still buy gold.

[-] uis@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

He suicided, so it doesn't count as violence

[-] makyo@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago

The thing is that none of us celebrate violence and certainly not murder, but when this is the closest thing to justice that we get for people like him?

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 10 points 2 weeks ago

Everyone celebrates violence. The right sure as Baator does, what with the existence of prisons and their support for the death penalty. Liberals do, because capitalism is violence. We should as well.

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago

Id like to formally propose !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world as the new /c/news lmao

[-] Shadywack@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Oddly enough, this is an example of when satire becomes the safest place for discourse. I'm all for it, lol!

[-] uis@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

Soviet anecdotes, anyone?

[-] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 44 points 2 weeks ago

I have an old friend named Brian Thompson who is 100% not this Brian Thompson.

I feel bad for him having this guys name today and how much shit he'll hear about it.

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 40 points 2 weeks ago

My college buddy has a last name of Epstein. He did not have a good time for two months straight. And my poor friend Karen now goes by Karey.

[-] KrapKake@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

If they had married she could be Karen Epstein!

[-] Ceedoestrees@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Brian Thompson is such a nothing name, I was wondering who it was by the time I got to your comment.

[-] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 33 points 2 weeks ago

The NPR article right now on this guy is disgusting

[-] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 43 points 2 weeks ago

Huh, from your post I'd assumed it painted a brutal picture of him. Instead, it's basically just his family and company saying "he was such a nice man".

I expected better, NPR.

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 45 points 2 weeks ago

NPR has been targeted by republicans for reporting on facts in the past few years that they've been scared shitless and now report on the most shallowest softest version of news to avoid offending anybody.

Shame, as Trump will still defund them.

[-] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 34 points 2 weeks ago

Not a single mention of all the people fucked over by United Healthcare.

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Don't expect a mainstream news outlet to condone an assassination.

Also, don't feel the need to have a mainstream news outlet validate your ideas.

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

They don’t have to condone assassination, they just need to point out all the harm UnitedHealthcare has done.

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 22 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I made almost verbatim this same comment in c/news and mods deleted it, instance level tos violation.

EDIT: Oh, interesting, looks like my 24 ban to all of world got lifted, after I made a thread elsewhere showcasing myself and a bunch of others getting their comments deleted and temp banned.

Guess lemmy.world uses the old school twitter / twitch approach to moderation.

[-] inv3r510n@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago

You can get instance wide ban? How have I not gotten one yet I’ve been really pissing off the libs since they lost the US election by being insufferable

(Coming from the left)

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yeah, I got an instance wide, 24 hr temp ban...

Made a thread in yepowertrippinbastards on db0's anarchist instance, a community that exists to report on silly mod activity, and within about one or two ish hours, after a good bit of discussion, including at least a few mods for various .world communities, and possibly a .world admin?

... 24 temp ban removed, or shortened to 2hrs or whatever.

How have you not gotten one?

My guess would be 'post insane shit, mods/admins are sleeping'.

(For anyone interested, i am summarizing a good deal here, a lot more people than myself got temp banned and comments deleted, i did actually say something 'more extreme' in a seperate comment, but the point of me complaining was that the mods were going wild, check the mod log or db0 for more context)

[-] inv3r510n@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Ooo what is this anarchist instance you speak of? I made the mistake of interacting with lemmy.ml never again

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago

http://lemmy.dbzer0.com/

Its the most active / populated explicitly anarchist instance I am aware of, for english speakers anyway.

Hey whaddya know, I accidentally a praxis today.

=D

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz -4 points 2 weeks ago

Drag was banned from yepowertrippinbastards for making transphobes angry.

[-] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Drag, I was in that thread.

I had to basically do lingustic analysis on the last few weeks or so of your comment history to figure out was going on.

Here's my self quoted analysis of your grammar style from that thread.

Drag never uses 'I' in sentences to refer to themself.

They have a comment saying they are using 'first person pronouns', by which they mean that they are using custom, or neopronouns when referring to themself in the first person.

The grammatical problem with this is that the 'pronoun' they are using is their own nickname.

Which functionally reads as them referring to themself in the third person only, akin to the deprecated 'royal we'.

You got a bunch of hostile responses, and apparently banned, not because you are trans and people are intolerant of that, but because you insist upon your own custom personal pronouns which are extremely grammatically confusing to anyone who is not you or someone that already knows you quite well.

It took me a significant amount of effort to figure out how your way of communicating works, and after I figured this out, it became apparent that from your point of view, everyone was saying you said things that you did not say, but from a conventional english speaker's point of view, you can easily be interpreted as having actually said those things, and then you would deny having said them.

I put in this amount of effort because people were claiming you were doing a bit or intentionally trolling people, and I wanted to actually analyze that claim, and ended up attempting to describe and explain your essentially unique way of speaking, in hopes of at least defending you from accusations of being a troll.
