Honestly there are one or two communities I was helping keeping alive so they don’t go to Twitter, but it seems that’s happened to one and the other is… not worth it anymore.
The real boring dystopia is the ~~friends~~ warnings and bans we accumulated along the way
They could lean into sarcasm:“don’t forget to tip your landlord”. Or just Koalang it, coming up with an ever-shifting system of allegorical codewords (“green Mario” could probably last for a week or so before the river crabs catch on).
“don’t forget to tip your landlord”.
Guaranteed some people will take that seriously.
- This still broadly prevents any slogan from reaching critical mass
- Eventually, most people are going to be afraid to even try. Self-censorship is actually worse than actual censorship, because it's insidious and invisible.
Masticate the opulent
Micturate upon the malevolent
Digest the decadent
2boring4dystopia
Vore the prosperous
Would ‘eat the poor’ get removed?
Defund the police - Banned
Defund DoE, Medicaid, and Social Security - Reddit gold
No, it wouldnt.
Banning for upvotes is the most ludicrous way to censor a forum ever.
It lowers engagement. It makes people not want to upvote.
Let's start a new t protest, downvote everything.
now they are also targeting the word luigi, which is more ridiculous
_ a _ the Rich
What? I'm clearly saying Tax the Rich.
Regardless, fuck that website.
Nibble upon hoarders of resources
Consume the most upper-class?
Welp, I guess you can't mention Aerosmith - Eat the Rich anymore..
Fuck Spez
Very much intentional, as with any song advocating for "violence"
Hey, at least my ban brought me over here. Their blatant attempts to quell desent shows alot. Shoulda got out when they started putting ads in the comments, but watching them protect billionaires from criticism, more than they do minorities from racism is eye opening.
Fu¢k th€ ¢unt$!
€at th€ ₹i¢h!
Feast on financially-stable?
Let’s not mince words, let’s mince the wealthy instead - quicker, and much more nutritious
lol @ Reddit killing itself
Wow that’s incredibly weak holy shit
Feast on the opulent!
For profit social media platforms are npt your friend.
As with for-profit newspapers and news agencies, they are biased more towards the ownership classn than the proletariat. They might present left-wing stories and positions, but never enough that it threatens their property and profit gains.
The same with politicians who have to raise money to campaign. Even liberals cannot ever push for policy that serves the public but not the ownership interests.
The mods there always sucked, it’s why I built up r/boringdystopia instead.
Based ngl
Fuck reddit
Has anyone tried commenting "Eat the poor“?
Using your account? Permabanned for trying to circumvent a ban. Yeah... fuck reddit
Munch the moneyed
Their brains should boycott their lungs
