Staying on topic is not censorship. What does he have to do with gaming?
(Besides the fact only the government can take away freedom of speech)
Oh man, before I left Reddit ALL of GCJ was politics. I agree with almost all of it but it was SO fucking annoying anyway. I just wanted some “this is what game design is annoying when this” and got something I would absolutely go to another sub for.
That's ALL of Reddit. Go to soccercirclejerk? It's thinly linking anything in football to American politics. Go to pics? It's pictures of American politics. Go to whoadude? It's videos of Americans being political in impressive ways.
Everywhere you go, the American politics are unavoidable. And I'm not American, and I already know that country is almost entering a civil war, and I don't want that to be the only thing I see all day and night.
Ahhh thank you. The only other CJ sub I went to before I left was TAZcirclejerk and it didn’t delve much into politics, just how annoying and flanderized a podcast series became hahaha
Maybe theyre posting they want him as a mission in the next sniper elite? It would still break the rules tho and give g*mers ammo to ban the sub, bad idea
Staying on topic is different than "don't talk about it so they don't shut us down"
I agree but who's going to shut a lemmy instance down?
Exactly. This public forum is insulated from such threats. That one is not.
From what threats?
Are you misunderstandings about basic rights in the room with us now?
Oh shit. They're in the room and all over this post!
The threat of censorship in public spaces?
Remind us all what you think freedom of speech is.
Don't be shy. Did you learn anything today?
fauxmoi
no one here knows what the fuck that means
Lol I know!
The bullet casting nonsense has been retracted. The shooter never left any messages on the casing.
That was all an obvious lie, they got the idea from who ever killed the CEO last year.
I thought it being officially read on a conference is pretty good source that it was real. Did they fabricate it? Can you link an amofficial retraction?
From this government?
It's not the governments that would retract it, it would be the detectives working on it
