Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



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

That's it.



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

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

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.

Today i saw a deleted comment in a post titled “trump says he will label violence on tesla dealerships as domestic terrorism” and someone quoted it to express their shock that the comment was deleted. It was “elon and the orange dictator need to be removed from the board” and on top of that people are getting moderated messages warning them that they are liking content related to Luigi mangione. And they are even deleting people’s comments that mention the name luigi mangione.

We are in a full fledged fascist authoritarian police state. The only way to remedy it is a revolution. The system is under complete corporate control and has shown that it will not allow self remediation through its own mechanisms. Like the Princeton study proved the amount of influence one has upon legislated policy is directly correlated with the amount of wealth you have with regular working class people having a statistically irrelevant near zero impact on policy regardless how popular or unpopular the policy may be. This is the reality. There is no way forward that isn’t uncomfortable. And those who believe they are too comfortable to risk what they have need to really examine their reality and see if it truly is comfortable or just a meaningless existence of repetitive wage slavery with basically no autonomy or meaning within such an existence. And at the rate the working class habe lost what little we had that was worth working for in the last 5/6 decades how much more will be lost in the future decades and at that point how can you even believe your children will have any semblance of a life worth working and living for? Something needs to be done now before it is too late which it unfortunately may already be. The internet which was supposed to revolutionize human connection and the spread of ideas and information has been weaponized against us to the benefit of the ruling class and something needs to be done to counteract this. The fact that it was easier for people to mobilize and effect change before the magic glowing screens disseminating propaganda becoming so widely available says all we need to know. There is still hope but thst possibility is dwindling faster by the day. But those saying that the answer is to get out and vote and advocating for ballot box socialism/ ballot box progress are deuded and misinformed.

To be fair I would say a mass-orchestrated event of committing arson and destruction of private property across the nation should be classified as domestic terrorism.. if you remove politics from the equation, it's still terrorism.

Just the thought of doing it is terrorism. Honestly.
