Good for him, he should spend some time also doing some other things.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He should spend time out. Touch some grass. Jurors should be aware of nullification.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nullification might not even be necessary. Several of the alleged photos taken had him have some minor differences that can tell me they are different person.

I got banned permanently off Reddit just for supporting him, that's what pushed me to find an alternative

Welcome! How did you hear about Lemmy?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Just did a bit of googling and it was recommended

Reddit moderators doing a 31 billion dollar corporation's bitch work for free.

Not only that but they're protecting the interests of people who make more money in a single year than they'll make in their entire lifetime.

for free

I absolutely assure you that Reddit is getting paid for this shit. Spez doesn't lift a finger without a string attached.

they’re protecting the interests of people who make more money in a single year than they’ll make in their entire lifetime

They're the loyal dogs of the corporate elite because they get the scraps thrown from the table. And when you've got a $25T table, those are some very nice scraps.

The company is but the moderators are not employees of the company, they’re volunteers

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

the moderators are not employees of the company

A great deal of the moderation of popular communities has been captured by affiliated parties. The folks modding /r/marvel and /r/starcraft and /r/conservative aren't just schmoes who got to those handles first. They've been auctioned off to third parties with a vested financial interest in a particularly kind of moderation occurring on those communities.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day ago

Surely this would be the Reddit admins banning the subreddit? I can't imagine the mods banning their own subreddit, if that's even possible.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 days ago (9 children)

I'll probably get downvoted for this but I feel like Lemmy is like the salty friend who can't get over their ex and gets off on the issues going on in their life without them.

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

Ehh, more like were are all hanging out at a local bar and the owner all of a sudden got a case of assholeism. Started going fucking nuts, screwing with food/drink quality and availability, started fucking over the servers and bartenders. We hate him and want all the good people to get out and the place to burn to the ground.

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

Yea but in reality that bar is continuing to thrive and the vast majority of the patrons don't care and are largely unaffected by the owner and they still carry nearly all of their favorite drinks even if a few have been taken off the menu.

We opened a new bar down the road with some of their favorite drinks and many times these drinks are empty bottles unless it's extremely popular or Penguin Co. and instead of focusing on making it a cool new place to hang out it's just a bunch of bitching about the old bar.

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

bitching about the old bar.

I appreciate your perspective, but I'm still rooting for them to burn down. :)

It's not that simple. People want to participate where communities are, some are still largely on reddit. There's also the free labor active submitters do regarding submissions, and they decide on what platform they participate in.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

People want to participate where communities are, some are still largely on reddit.

So much of the community atmosphere of the site has been undercut and replaced by automated accounts that generate content from historical human conversations. Like, straight up, whole content threads get lifted and shifted between posts to create the illusion of participation. If you've been on the site for a while, its downright surreal.

Between that and the militant banning of anyone who isn't an empty-headed twit or a reflexive cheerleader, there's very little human activity left on the site to speak of. You're not in a community, you're in a graveyard. Most of the people you're talking to are digital ghosts.

There’s also the free labor active submitters do regarding submissions

Less and less by year. Again, it can't be stressed how much of Reddit is entirely automated. A handful of accounts, often directly or indirectly managed by the source of the content, are doing the lion's share of the posting and commenting. Real human interaction is being minimalized. Reddit's real money isn't in posters anymore, its in lurkers. You're supposed to look, not touch.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

It's not weird or particularly unhealthy to look back at the person you were close to, but betrayed you, and realize that all of your interactions with them were actually them being an asshole, and the people who still support them are assholes too. Nor is it particularly unhealthy to have a bit of schadenfreude about the suffering of those who chose the asshole over you, while hopefully still having some sympathy and hope that they escape.

It's how I feel about Taylor swift fans, at least.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I don't disagree with you. However, when I see a post like this every day it gets old to me. Though to be fair, Lemmy content doesn't come from a single person and everyone on here is at a different phase in their journey.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

And it's not like reddit isn't still relevant to us, you know? We also get bsky and twitter posts on here

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Ok, but there's also post from 4chan, Xitter, Facebook, and everywhere else on the internet. Reddit, and now Lemmy, grab information and memes from literally everywhere so you don't have to.

There's always going to be a subject someone doesn't care for. Thankfully though, there's filters in most every app now. The ones further along in their Lemmy journey tend to use them instead of complaining about having to see things repeatedly.

Not to be rude or anything, but it sounds like you've got an unhealthy relationship with social media. I still use reddit for the subreddits I'm interested in, I don't read other subreddits anymore just because the content is bad. Like I don't care about what reddit does or what Lemmy does, if I don't enjoy it, I'll leave, it's that simple.

You don't have to commit to anything, you are also allowed to enjoy the communities of reddit, even if you feel like Reddit did you wrong. It's not worth spending your energy on something you can't control. Reddit is shit, that is the only reason why I only check in once a week or something, and to be frank those communities are dying if they aren't already dead.

For me it's only about if I enjoy it and that includes how it's being run. But anyways things tend to become bad when they grow large, I will probably spend less time with Lemmy when it has become bigger. And then I'll have find another social media platform.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Wow you really took the seriousness level in this thread from a 2 to a 20

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

Yes but this is not it.

We are here to discuss Luigi and how regime is steering the narrative. Reddit is a major social media platform so them supressing Luigi discussion is relevant. Plus a great opportunity to take reddits users;)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In this case, the ex is an influential person with millions of friends, so what they do matters.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

And horrifically abusive.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

Honestly I like these kinds of posts as it lets me know that I made a good choice to not go back to Reddit. Plus I can show these to people I know who still use Reddit which might push them away as well.

Brian Thompson was a mass murderer who deserved to die, as are his peers

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

Keep zooming to that grave Reddit

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Posting violent content? Aren't there literally gore subreddits over there where you can watch people get tortured?

Reddit has long ago passed the tipping point between content and commercial interest. They're only interested in being profitable, safe, and inoffensive for marketing partners. The life has gone out of it, it's just a product now.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (10 children)

What pisses me off is that there is no ready made platform ready to take the user exodus. Digg died basically in 6 months because reddit was ready and super duper easy to sign up.

Lemmy simply isn't easy to sign up for and understand for better or worse

Im surprised r/freeluigi and r/luigemangionejustice havent been banned they banned r/mariosbro and r/freeluigi2 as well as some others. Our corporate overlords are pissing their $5,000 pairs of designer slacks. And look at the loosers on r/fuckluigimangione it would be funny if it wasn't so sad https://imgur.com/gallery/rbqSckH

/freeluigi is still up

They suppression is brutal but y'all know what to do when any news drops.

Luigi is not guilty and it is a set up, but even if he did it, brain the parasite Thompson deserved it all
