Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Violence is a double edged sword. It can easily swing the other way. Elon might be misjudging how that sword is balanced.

[–] Guns0rWeD13@lemmy.world 1 points 1 minute ago

judging by the spine of the left, i don't think he anything to fear.

[–] MellowYellow13@lemmy.world 15 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

So why isn't Elon Musk banned then?

[–] Sibshops@lemm.ee 6 points 1 hour ago

Rules for thee not for me.

[–] debaser@lemm.ee 30 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

They've also been banning accounts for liking comments about Green Mario doing nothing wrong. It's about the closest thing to thought crime I've ever seen. (PS Green Mario did nothing wrong)

[–] Gloomy@mander.xyz 17 points 1 hour ago (4 children)

I don't mean this as an attack at all, but isn't calling Luigi "Green Mario" a way to comply with the wired reddit cencorship?

We are on Lemmy, you can speak freely here.

Or did something just go over my head?

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 8 points 36 minutes ago (1 children)

Also innocent until proven guilty, a lot of people seem to forget that one.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 6 points 28 minutes ago

It's actually pretty likely he's not the guy. While they have a picture of him from a nearby hostel, the picture from cctv at the scene doesn't match quite so well.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 4 points 51 minutes ago

Whether or not they were being ironic, we HAVE to stop capitulating to corporations deciding how we speak and what we can and can't talk about. They successfully turned our own social messaging into a justification to block out conversations about issues that are actually affecting us.

(No, to the chud about to cry about being censored for spreading misinformation about vaccines, that doesn't go against corporate incentives, that goes against reason and knowledge, there's a difference and if you can't tell, you will when you get older.)

[–] Sibshops@lemm.ee 4 points 1 hour ago

Maybe people were actually saying "Green Mario" and not Luigi.

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 hour ago

Agreed, you can refer to him by name here lol. Or Saint Luigi if you prefer ;)

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemm.ee 13 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

The faster everyone deletes their Reddit, the better we will be. Fuck Reddit.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I only have one account for porn right now. Made with a temporary email. I won't shed any tears if i had to delete that one.

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemm.ee 2 points 30 minutes ago

There’s plenty here lol. No excuse! lol, jk

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 11 minutes ago

The only reason I still have a Reddit account is to leave comments telling people to leave Reddit and join Lemmy. I just find posts on or near the front page that are complaining about Reddit and leave the same comment every time.

“I’m peaceful because I am capable of kicking your ass” has true mall ninja energy.

“you studied humanity [and made friends] while I studied the blade”

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 6 points 55 minutes ago

I remember reading self-defense writings by Marc MacYoung (who is a fascist mind you, but he is very good at martial arts and understanding criminal dynamics) and the first ever time I heard the 'better a monster who can control it, than a sheep who is not capable of violence' or that effect, and he ripped that entire saying a new one. He said how once the violent beast in someone is built up, it simply won't be easy to control and will fuck you up. There is simply no way around it. Criminals, abusers, and assholes whom people want nothing to do with and people who spend countless nights in jail for petty shit are all the actual 'warriors in a garden' come to life.

Also the whole thing is shit. During ww1 and ww2 the US had a pathetic military at the start, but when the war got going they still outfought the Nazis and Imperial Japanese who were fully and completely into the whole permanent warrior mentality.

[–] LeninOnAPrayer@lemm.ee 3 points 46 minutes ago

The irony here is that violence is a necessary action when the bourgeoisie (Billionaires) leaves the working class no other option. But what he's saying is that state violence is justified to maintain the status quo.

[–] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 1 points 23 minutes ago

Is it just me or are other people giving fewer and fewer fucks about why somebody got banned on reddit, or anything else that happens on reddit?

[–] Grizzlyboy@lemm.ee 10 points 1 hour ago

I was banned for harassment. I followed 6 accounts that posted tons of misinformation about elons nazi salute.

They’d defend him at all cost, call everyone else sheep, “Roman salute”, he’s autistic, you’re such a n idiot for hating on him. Posted still frame images of anyone with raised hands and claimed them to be identical to nazi boy Elon.

I got a notification every time they posted something to a sub I frequented. I would comment their recent post history and how their most extreme lies in defense of Elon.

Reddit said that was considered harassment. Not what those accounts did, but my action to their posts and comments. Spez is such a fucking spineless cunt.

[–] Rin@lemm.ee 2 points 26 minutes ago

Elon's gonna get shot one day

[–] enphurgen@lemmy.world 17 points 2 hours ago (3 children)

Got my ban yesterday for expressing my displeasure with Danielle Smith. Reddit has sold out

[–] Haess@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 4 minutes ago

Smith is such a fucking joke.. I grew up in Southern Alberta, I'll never ever return.

[–] roguesignal@lemm.ee 13 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

My 15 year old account got banned last week, too. On one hand it kinda sucks, but on the other hand it feels good to get out of that site's echo chamber. Reddit is really circling the drain.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 1 points 53 minutes ago

I had my 13 year old account also busted up due to that last summer.

[–] tacobellhop@midwest.social 10 points 1 hour ago

Here’s my new thing.

All the people with critical thinking skills are leaving in droves. Leaving a massive bot farm authoritarian echo chamber in its wake.

As far as they’re concerned we’re the problem and it solved itself.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago

Really? Fuck that shit. Good thing I deleted my reddit account. I technically have one that I just use for porn. But I sure as hell am not posting anything with that shit.

[–] Skymt@feddit.nu 5 points 2 hours ago

The peace in peaceful is not of the "peace and war" kind. It's of the "peace and quiet" kind.

Important distinction.

[–] dumblederp@aussie.zone 21 points 7 hours ago

Fuck reddit.

[–] bampop@lemmy.world 42 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (3 children)

Ironically, what Musk posted is perfectly acceptable ( in and of itself, ignoring the context of the person who is saying it ) since violence or the threat of violence is sometimes necessary to prevent things getting worse. For example, "Ukraine should be helped to defend itself" is a call for violence.

Which is why it's such a bullshit excuse to ban speech for that reason alone. I got banned for suggesting France might help out the USA by shipping over any surplus guillotines. I'm sure they would have no issue at all if I were enthusiastically advocating genocide. Never mind, I needed a push to make the move to Lemmy ; )

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 3 points 50 minutes ago* (last edited 14 minutes ago)

My ban from reddit was 100% related to calling for the arrest and judicial execution of netenyahu. Which is not an unreasonable thing to say given that he is nothing more than a modern Hitler.

I will take it back. Netenyahu should not be tried at all in any court. But simply tied up, have the charges read against him, and promptly shot through the head at point blank range.

[–] freely1333@reddthat.com 12 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

The line is state sponsored violence, generally. Likely with a little bias on what state is on the giving and receiving ends of said violence. Thats the rule at least so far as I can tell, at least.

[–] bampop@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

I think you're right, but that's even more concerning. A fully fascist take on what is acceptable speech.

The oligarchy owns 90% of social media so it's no surprise

[–] Shayeta@feddit.org 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

You're wording it as if we shouldn't be outraged anyways.

Elon Musk ~~'s assets~~ should be liquidated

Fixed that for you

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 2 points 49 minutes ago

In a solution of 1/3 35% hydrogen peroxide and 2/3 98% sulfuric acid.

God, what an insufferable Nazi cunt.

[–] alkbch@lemmy.ml 13 points 13 hours ago

What do you mean by Elon Musk’s assets should be liquidated?

Also, Reddit and X have very different moderating policies.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 3 points 10 hours ago

Oh fucking hell he's a megalomaniac he's awful!!! Horrible man. How the fuck can reddit justify this shit? How has EVERYONE not left?

[–] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 35 points 18 hours ago

He is such a teenager. It's embarrassing.

[–] blady_blah@lemmy.world 14 points 15 hours ago

This feeds into the right-wing fantasy that they're super tough warriors. You see a lot of literature and fictional TV aimed in this direction.

It's kind of like the white savior complex but instead of saving some victimized minority, they're saving weaker and more helpless individuals in their own society. But all the military hero returns home and confronts nasty biker gang or evil drug dealers and kicks their ass without when trying. It all reinforced their world view.
