News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

This reminded me that I'm still watching some subs through still existing mirrors like undelete so I don't give reddit views, and I noticed that a big 21k upvoted post on subredditdrama about /r/conservative starting to panic over whether trump even knows what he's doing was deleted. ~~All I can imagine for why it was deleted was intervention because of this rule, I couldn't find a mod post on it, it might have been admin intervention.~~ EDIT: There was a mod post, that it was going to stay up, but then another mod who posts in dogwhistle subs and has a tendency of removing posts from /r/conservative did. It WAS mods this time, but it's still bad actors pushing a certain outcome.

Let's not play dumb. Evoking the image of Luigi is in itself a gesture towards violence. That's the point. Why discuss billionaires and show a picture of Luigi instead of Mary Poppins? Because of what Luigi did and what he represents. It's implying a desirable solution.

It's bullshit that Reddit removes this stuff, and it reveals where their loyalties lie, but we're not on Reddit anymore.

Stop acting like a conservative and just say what you mean.

Or maybe act more like a conservative and obscure your viewpoints more so they don't get banned. Let's go Mary Poppins memes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Yeah, it's disingenuous to claim that they aren't implicitly supporting what Luigi is alleged to do with this post.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 hours ago

Honestly: leave Reddit to the bots.

Anyone who is still there after all the bullshit, well, I would argue that either they're oblivious, or some kind of bootlicker, either way, we are probably better off without them.

On an unrelated note, I hope Luigi gets Justice. I mean, he won't, but.... I can hope.

The just outcome for Luigi is to acquit him. He acted in the best interest of the people. He was protecting and serving the people. He's a better enforcement officer than any LEO I've ever met.

Best of all, he wasn't tasked with doing it. Nobody asked him to, nor did anyone pay him for his efforts. He's a hero of the people. IMO, his actions, while extreme, are on par with someone who saves a person from a burning car, or picks up a victim and drives them to the hospital so they can get to the care they need more quickly. Luigi just did it on a much broader scale. Here's this guy that's preventing people from getting to the care they need. He's like a bouncer for a hospital. So when an injured patent rolls up and the bouncer says "no" to providing care, it's reasonable to remove that bouncer by any means necessary to save the people that he's blocking from getting the care they need.

Yes, he used methods that are unconventional. Yes, he probably shouldn't have. The outcome is the same. He moved the needle towards good.

While I can sympathize with those that lost their father/brother/husband/son/etc. I can't sympathize with the man that was removed from blocking critical care to those who needed it, paid for it, and wanted it.

Anyone in charge at any US insurance company: they're is blood on your hands. Do the right thing, or Luigi won't be the last martyr to go down for the good of the people.

If "Section 230" is repealed by the Maga-Idiots any US social media plattfrom will become liable for what the user's posts, they will have to do MUCH cleanup.

Any threat. Any wrongful accusation, and harm done to reputation will be OWNED not by the user in question.. but the company providing the plattform, as if they are a newspaper and all users are staff writers.

Imagine writing "Dodge only make shitty cars that break all the time" on X, and X is now held accountable by Stellantis for damaging their reputation.

I hope they do it. Plattforms that make billions from free work of the users, should own the liabilities.

I was for this when it passed originally but now seeing what these companies have done with it in the intervening years, I think maybe I was giving them too much benefit of the doubt

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I think it's interesting people keep posting things about this particular person when it's likely to be filtered in all kiinds of media.

Not that I'm advocating for violence, but man, it seems like the people doing this would get their point across a lot more easily by posting pictures of groups of teens.

Everyone worships him and his deeds at the same time you let America turn into a dictatorship and let trump destroy everything. So hypocritical to celebrate him but at the same time sipping coffee watching all your future being destroyed... Luigi, on the other hand, has taken action... what about you and the heads in the sand? Hypocrites hypocrites hypocrites FCK Amerika

Pretty sure he is pissed on the citizen too!

Our insurance is tied to our jobs. If we lose our jobs, we lose any potential for financial stability in the face of illness or injury. If you protest and get hurt, you’re on your own.

It’s a billionaires world, and we’re just living in it.

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

Well, 200 years ago Slavery for all was just normal in the US. Now it is only "normal" for people incarcerated, often on trumped up charges.

Things won't change by staying inactive.

How? If they get killed. death people cant do anything

Luigi was also aware before he did it that his life would be over. It didn't stop him from doing the right thing.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

It's all hero worship, our civic tradition is (unintentionally?) very heavily based on The Great Man concept, Washington crossed the Potomac, not the people in the army, MLK won the right for civil rights, not the thousands of people working together for decades, etc etc

Luigi will save us (no, it will take all of us)

Well, it will definitely end with WW3 thanks to Trump. He has already given the go-ahead for global rearmament. Although too many still deny it (outside America)... The East has heard the starting signal for his first term and enjoyed the destabilization. The West is still in the process of realizing that... which means it's already too late, they slept through it. The East is better positioned for war. The one that provided the balance (America) is not ready for war, because one way or another there will be a civil war before the ethical cleansing begins. Also, every democrat should have a weapon for the future to protect themselves.

Trump always blames others for what he himself plans... Well now he blames others for starting ww3... 1+1= trump wants ww3 and to thin America of population.

I'm not saying that anyone should stop supporting him.

I am saying that if the end goal is to communicate messages of support for the types of things he did, it would likely make more sense to post pictures that couldn't be easily filtered.

Groups of teens would get a message across("guillotines") but would be difficult to filter effectively.

Pictures of one particular character are a lot easier to block.

Filtering systems can effectively block 100% of pictures of Luigi Mangione and of the character Luigi, but if people just posted picture after picture of groups of teenagers, that would be a lot harder to effectively filter.

This is perfect for a non violent easter post 🤩

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 hours ago

lol in France we got the same but it's basically just one guy who owns all the media.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Yesterday I saw clips on TV from us media supporting trump's stances on Ukraine and stuff like that. Made me quite angry because the way that the presentation of the news was set up was to influence the viewer. Nothing else. It wasn't to inform, it was to influence.

When it's about politics on Belgian nationalised TV channel, then it's always various people who share their points of view and it's more to inform than to dictate.

MSM in the uss are owned 6-7 trump loving conservatives thats why. last years was nothing but sanewashing trump news, while ignore all the epstein investigation+ we havnt heard from mis GHISLAINE maxwell for like 2 years by then in the news, besides epstein she was the 2nd in command in relation of his operations, she knew everything that was going on, but not a peep from msm about her.

Removing billionaires is self defense, don't let anyone tell you different. They commit acts of gross violence on the general populace every single day. It's time to re-balance the scales.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual, crime.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

Yeah, the existence of billionaires requires violence be perpetrated upon entire groups of people.
