When sites no longer allow you to speak out against political figures, companies, or conflicts then its time to leave. They are no longer moderating a subreddit. They are moderation information as a whole. They get to pick n choose what you’re allowed to rally around and rally against. Sites like lemmy are the next step to a free and fair internet.
Corporate has stolen our internet and our money. Its time to take it back. Federated and open source is the way we do it. Dont let the money tell us what we are allowed to talk about.
You must log in or register to comment.
Well yeah. I mean we do need a revolution. These corpos need to gtfo and be dissolved.
When private equity and billionairs have enough money to buy up entire social platforms, newspapers, and news stations, and political races… its no longer about community consensus or discussion. Its just pure corporate propaganda.
It’s so invasive too… Hearing kids self censor for advertisers, like “unalive” or “pew pew” is deeply disturbing
Our language is being artificially pushed towards Corpo-speak
People doing anything for the algorithm these days.
You can always start playing the same cat and mouse game of giving random names to all the censored terms just like the Chinese do on their chat platforms.
Or not. I’m just a message in a forum.
@iturnedintoanewt @Rtardbunny isn’t that how their president became “Winnie the Pooh”?
Did I get this right? Redditors are not allowed to write “nword”, but they are allowed using the actual N-word?
Fcking hypocrites!
it’s additional rules for the subreddit on top of the site wide rules for all of reddit
That sounds like Xitter. Fortunately, Reddit hasn’t devolved that far… yet.
I didn’t knew, who Luigi Mangione is. But now I know, that Reddit protects rich people and it’s seriously not good. I have interesting subs there with no politics, but maybe it’s time to just throw my account to trash. I don’t care about posts and comments, as they say “RedUrun was here”. Holy fuck…
shockingly enough, corporations always act in their own self-interest
all the major sites do, like the archiving ones, wikipedia, google, they all protect donors and investors, family that starts with a p, talking about them got hella ppl banned from tiktok its like pursuer or something some combo of those letters, another one married a billionaire and got hella ppl banned off tiktok, it was fun watching their accounts reappear get hella views get banned start over til they disappeared forever
I know I’m old. I see things like this and always think of leaving Digg because they didn’t want us to share a way to pirate Blu Rays and HD-DVDs, which none of us would ever use.
My submission history looks the same, but I’m not posting about anything political.
I’ve given up on Reddit. I only lurk on it these days and that’s only when Lemmy feels a little stale.
@lemmyingly @Rtardbunny I got banned from a gay focused subreddit for pointing out that it is impossible to separate gay/Queer identity from politics so a “no politics” rule is inherently not Queer-friendly
But it’s not really impossibile. I just had a gay friend give up on the local pride rally because it has become overpoliticized by my country.
Just because there is a political aspect and assholes are using the whole queer movement as political propaganda doesn’t mean the community wants to discuss it (especially how these can derail almost any conversation).
Of course I don’t know the exact motives behind your issue, but with the info you provided I can still campaign against malevolent intent in this specific case.
@dzsimbo Being Queer is an inherently political act. Coming out is political. Getting married is political. How can you separate the personal from the political when it comes to gay identity?
This is a very hard knot to untangle. Is being a woman political? Feminists for sure, but do you count being ‘not a feminist’ as a political act? Is my attraction to certain sexual characteristics inherently political?
There is definitely a lot to be said on the matter of politics, and while I hate blanket rules/bans in most cases, I can see why the community wants to keep current propaganda out.
I deleted my account. I can’t be on this “thing”, knowing how it operates. Have fun with my content, I don’t care anymore.
Delete your content when you leave
I don’t care. That API shit happened, because spez is a dick. But Mangione’s case uncovered a much deeper problem. I left in a rush yes, but maybe I will find a comment, that I made. I’m a nostalgic fuck, but that feels good you know?
You’re free to spin up your own instance where you can make direct threats and actionable calls to violence.Oh, those are subreddits. Yeah, you’re probably not wrong.
I made a slight tweak to OP’s image, in case people want to share the picture on other networks. :)
Not perfectly done, but I feel like it might be an efficient way to spread the word.
Pretty sure if you try and spell out the letters n, i, g, g,… and submit your comment or reply, it’s hardcoded on all platforms to remove the word. I’ve tried tellijg a story on the sync app for lemmy that involved a word that rhymes with maggot being said and even in quotes it only printed on the screen “removed” iirc. (context here implying it was the word someone said and not being used in the context of the comment)
Pretty sure the list were looking at is subreddit specific list of banned words that will trigger a bot to remove the comment/delete the comment but still show a comment was made.
I think the Lemmy devs included automatic removal of some words on the platform, but it can be disabled by instance admins. It caused some funny problems in the early days of Lemmy, as banned words could sometimes appear in completely harmless settings/inside other words. Not sure what has happened since or on which instances it’s currently enabled.
In either case I maintain that there’s a difference between free speech (cool) and hate speech (not cool).
The Scunthorpe problem is hard, and any simple blacklist method is bound to give both false positives and false negatives.
Yeah, I personally don’t believe in blacklisting specific words as a moderation policy in general.
I think it has served Lemmy well though - the automatic filtering of certain words might have deterred some deplorable people from settling down here. :)
Hey nice! Thank you!
Lol i couldnt post multiple pics through the boost app, so my Samsung created this mess of a “collage”…i can send you the full screenshots along with the post info and comments if you’re interested in creating something else!
I think it’s fine like this - gets the point across!
damn… “Luigi’s Mansion” has a totally different ring nowadays…
Replace “Mangione” with “the one who eats a lot”. That would be the kind of literal explanation of the name in Italian.
Some would say his tastes are quite rich.
‘Holiday’ is forbidden?
Probably upset about “Happy Holidays” or something.
Do they prefer vacation as the only people who uses anti work are American.
