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.

Regardless, fuck that website.

Stop fucking going to Reddit!!

There is nothing for you there except bots and dead accounts.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 12 hours ago

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.

Wow that’s incredibly weak holy shit

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

Would ‘eat the poor’ get removed?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 13 hours ago

Defund the police - Banned

Defund DoE, Medicaid, and Social Security - Reddit gold

Consume the most upper-class?

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.

Very much intentional, as with any song advocating for "violence"

[–] [email protected] 15 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Feast on financially-stable?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago

Let’s not mince words, let’s mince the wealthy instead - quicker, and much more nutritious

[–] [email protected] 10 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

The mods there always sucked, it’s why I built up r/boringdystopia instead.
