MODERATORS
 

Luigi Mangione has drawn lots of defenders on social media. That's a challenge for platforms when it comes to moderation — and for users.

Its only challenging to moderate if your interests are aligned with the billionaire class.

[–] Dkarma 1 points 18 hours ago

No shit...lol

It's super easy to just do nothing.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

All I know is that the root cause for why Luigi is a god damn hero will never be addressed and people that try to address it will be systematically suppressed.

Alright, be honest with me, am I an idiot for having invested all my faith in BUSINESS INSIDER to be my beacon of truth through these dark and uncertain times?

Posting our celebration is the moderate response.

The amount of hate speech online that goes unmoderated, and this is where they try to draw the line. Pitiful

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

Well, plenty of hate speech is fueled and paid by the oligarchies running troll farms and owning social networks. They don't like the idea of someone rich getting shot at because of abusing society either.

Hating poor people doesnt scare billionares.

Since he's innocent until proven guilty, there should be no need to moderate, right?

[–] BendingHawk 7 points 1 day ago

Also innocent if proven guilty with a big enough bank account

Answer: Stop being a fucking asshole and let me have my freeze peach. Luigi is a sigma

Why does it need to be moderated?

[–] BatrickPateman 136 points 2 days ago (12 children)

Because you can't let people realize that they are not alone with their opinions about rich people. That's the first step to change, and you can't have that.

We are in a abusive relationship with capitalism. Straight up Stockholm Syndrome with our oppressors.

The word they're avoiding is "suppress". It needs to be suppressed because they don't want anymore CEOs getting what they deserve.

It was self defense. The ceo had murdered before, he would murder again!

[–] [email protected] 67 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Yep, he had spreadsheets right there on his laptop and was planning on adding a whole new year of patient deaths to them.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 days ago

He was even in the city to present the plan to his co-conspirators

Lmao Reddit banned me for praising Luigi. Fuck reddit

[–] Jumpingspiderman 14 points 1 day ago

Reddit is a corporatist pearl-clutching hell hole. With no reason to exist. I left it quite a while ago when I got banned for asking if something would get me banned. Fuck those assholes.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The fuck are you doing on reddit?

Political memes on lemmy.world included

Garbage mods who get pissy because their shit metaphors don't work

"How is trump different from Luigi"?

Idk how many political rapes are you aware of @[email protected]?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Luigi shot a guy on fifth avenue instead of just talking about it?

Edit: And I'm getting downvoted... Bro I was agreeing with you, Why downvote me? Apparently I've ran into the classic blunder of sarcasm not being readable on the internet...

So let me clarify

Luigi and Trump have literally nothing in common outside of being Americans born into wealth, my "Luigi shot a guy" comment was not an endorsement of Trump, but a playful way of saying Luigi gets shit done instead of doing what Trump does and pretending to be America's champion when in reality being the perfect symbol of literally everything wrong with the country.

Trump being a lazy lying pedophile who was never kept his hands to himself nor had a coherent thought.

[–] Dasus 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Are you genuinely so brainwashed you've bought into MAGA propaganda, thinking Trump is just "saying some offensive things"?

No man.

He's a literal rapist. In several cases.

This case, Carroll II, was tried in April and May 2023. Ms. Carroll contended that Mr. Trump had assaulted her in a dressing room at a New York department store where, among other things, he forcibly penetrated her vagina with his fingers and his penis. She testified in person for most of three days and was cross-examined intensively. Her sexual assault claim was corroborated by two “outcry” witnesses in whom Ms. Carroll had confided shortly after the attack, and was supported by six other fact witnesses. Mr. Trump's defense – based exclusively on an attempt to discredit Ms. Carroll and her other witnesses – in substance was that no assault ever had occurred, that he did not even know Ms. Carroll, and that her accusations were a “Hoax.” Mr. Trump, however, did not testify in person or even attend the trial despite ample opportunity to do so.

I'd know about you, but the dressing room of a department store isn't exactly private even if it's not "broad daylight" public.

So what non-self-serving political agenda does Trump's raping(s) serve in your opinion?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Are you genuinely so brainwashed you’ve bought into MAGA propaganda, thinking Trump is just “saying some offensive things”?

That's quite the conclusion you've jumped too considering I said nothing positive about Trump, do not see him as a legitimate president, and have more respect for Hitler than Trump as Hitler at least had the decency to put a bullet in his own head.

A challenge to moderate, or a challenge to censor?

[–] crapton_america 23 points 2 days ago

Oh no. Anyway what’s for lunch?

[–] carl_dungeon 32 points 2 days ago
