We get it. Reddits CEO is a scared little coward.

I just got my first Luigi-upvote warning this morning. The best part is the bots don't tell you specifically which post or comment you upvoted to get you auto-flagged, so you have no idea how to navigate the minefield of their automated autoban system, they don't even take the posts down.. they leave them up as some sort of honeypot to flag as many people as possible to ban.

they need to sanitize the site so they can sell it off,

On reddit Mario Bros will never be the same

[–] Freefall 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Oh no, I am sure reddit totally won't just say something like Plumber or Green instead of Luigi, making it impossible to keep auto-censoring.

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

will they also flag words lugia, or WALUIGI.

[–] Snowclone 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Are they censoring ''player two'' ''green Mario'' ''Waluigi'' or xXBIGLOUIEXx ?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours ago

The L word.

Reddit is going heavy on censoring the thought of protest. For example, I suggested throwing rotten fruit, eggs, and using a megaphone to bother JD Vance at his residence. Because, bluntly, 'polite' protest misses the whole bloody point of protest. It is all about making the people in power feel uncomfortable, and to warn them if they keep it up, people will open the 4th box.

I got banned, which will end in three days. But more importantly, it has convinced me: Reddit is controlled by those who don't understand nor value the 1st Amendment, and why it is crucial for preventing the 2nd Amendment from being exercised.

While it sucks to harass people, the alternative if things progress further is much worse.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

im pretty sure reddit will perma ban you right after, ive been hearing people were immediately rebanned right after thier temp ban ended, because the filters dont even refresh after you get unbanned.

[–] Ensign_Crab 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

No one regrets getting banned from nazi digg.

SPez, came from oligarchy hatchery, because of his strange humanoid appearance.

[–] waterSticksToMyBalls 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

It's a good suggestion however there is currently a police checkpoint surrounding his house so you cant even get to his street.

[–] Guns0rWeD13 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

police need to be put into an uncomfortable choice of who they want to side with

[–] cavtroop 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

you know EXACTLY which side they'll choose...

[–] Guns0rWeD13 1 points 10 hours ago

then we'll deal with them accordingly.

[–] Bloomcole 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

When it grew exponentionally, the regime intervened as they did with Facebook and others.
Long before Trump.
All MSM is controled and social media is no different when it reaches a substancial audience.
The hard truth still many don't want to hear:
Free speech is an illusion, only allowed if you scream into the void.
Anything else they will manipulate or sabotage.
TikTok is the latest example.
You can expect the same here eventually, while the nature of it makes it more difficult the platform will be flooded with bots trying to control the narrative.

The Fediverse is our best chance at resisting our social media being controlled. People need to be made aware of that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

It's pretty crazy. I saw a post on reddit about an article that was talking about the fediverse. I kid you not, 120 comments, 90% of those comments completely bashing it. "iT's bRokEn, iTs bugGy, eW iT loOks likE sOoo oUtdatEd". Literally not even giving it a single chance. I've been on lemmy for about... 3 days now? Absolutely not regretting it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

it tells you BOTS make up significant portion of alot of subs, and reddit as whole. i bet if reddit actually targeted the real bots, there would be less than half actual users on there. Sooner or later they will enlists Metas help to use ai bots/ressurect dead accts to increase engagement and push right wing agendas on the site.

Twitter: Gone, Reddit: Gone, Facebook: You are NEXT!

I received a permanent ban on Reddit a week ago for similar/like comments, suggesting something to the effect that the Trump/Musk team was something less than stellar. The Mods did not care to hear that. I wonder why?

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

the god emperor musk and trump is now the shrine and not open on criticism. i pointed out the politics subs did the same a while ago, they were allowing "left leaning comments" to completely be astroturf by right wingers, and induce anti-Dem articles rage.

[–] aceshigh 36 points 1 day ago (4 children)

All that it’s doing is creating the Streisand effect. Heh.

I got the warning that I’m one move away from being banned from Reddit after they made these rules. It’s definitely gotten very sketchy feeling over there.

Have Reddit explained why they think simply saying Luigi is inciting violence?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Reddit is owned by rich people and they want us docile and not talk about how easy it is to end their reign.

[–] Guns0rWeD13 2 points 15 hours ago

that and teams of lawyers who are always going to recommend 'playing it safe'

[–] DarkSpectrum 35 points 1 day ago

Here comes another wave of lemmings!

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Well bye bye Reddit. It was nice to know ya.

[–] Ensign_Crab 4 points 15 hours ago

It was nice to know ya.

Was it?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah this place was just suggested to me by a friend. I like it here so far!

[–] Doctor_Satan 22 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I found this place because someone on Reddit posted this picture.

[–] SneakyBird 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I don’t think BlueSky is fediverse, just a different Twitter in the end, isn’t it?

This is absolutely crazy. Luigi is not uncommon italian first name, as well as obviously a game name and a pizza brand. Reddit is rediculous.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours ago

Seems like a case could be made for racial/ethnic discrimination. They're setting themselves up for anti-discrimination lawsuits at this rate. We need to round up some Luigis, have them get banned from reddit for mentioning their name, and then sue the pants off them for discriminating against Italians.

I knew the right was regressive. But I never imagined we would go back to "No Italians Need Apply."

[–] [email protected] 93 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Imo, this is proof of how scared the corpos are of letting him become a figurehead of the fight against them. I love it.

[–] Jumpingspiderman 25 points 1 day ago

Exactly. This is a sign of how terrified they are of Luigi. Say his name!!! LUIGI!
