My country is about to strap a guy to a chair and have 3 government employees fire a gun at him. And that's fine.

27
lemmy.world

Assuming this is America, that guy requested for that to happen because it's a less excruciating death than the other chair.

But here's why it's still an issue: being shot should not be the most humane option we give someone lmfao

21

There has been serious doubt that painkillers in lethal injection were enough to work. But the death penalty should be off the table since so many are wrongly convinced, unless the convicted requests it as the more humane option, because prison is currently retributive and cruel, rather than rehabilitative and humane.

15

Apparently, writing an inspiring post about taking action and ways to protest was just too much for the delicate sensibilities of the internet overlords. I was banned for “inciting violence.”

Who knew that encouraging people to stand up for what they believe in was such a radical concept?

I suspect they're being strong armed to follow the reddit instructions. Since these are bootlicking mods that stayed on reddit after the blackouts, it makes sense they would capitulate.

did you know there are 92 mods that own over 500 subs, these are probably the true bootlickers of reddit admins.

I actually had a nice interaction with a mod on that subreddit just yesterday. A comment of mine was being auto-hidden. He explained why, then offered to help. Not the usual petty tyrant mod I expected.

If you thought Reddit was anything but on the side of Elon, Thiel, and the Nazi plutocrats, you haven’t been paying attention. And it will get worse and worse as time goes on.

They’re trying to control the conversation to the point that the Overton Window embraces open fascism, and it’s working.

94

Why would they be against thiel? He was an early investor back in 2014 when Altman got involved

17

Take this as a very good sign. They are afraid of implications of spreading this discourse. Go forth widely and proclaim it: “eat the rich”.

But in all seriousness let’s not loose the momentum. Online or offline we need to continue to push this narrative against capital, corruption, and genocide.

Why do you think we're here?

I think that depends largely on somebody's "join" date. If they're under 6 months old, they probably got banned/censored from Reddit. If they joined in the last 6-12 months, it's probably because of Reddit's AI policies. If they joined 12-18 months ago, it was probably due to the API changes shutting down third-party apps. If they're older than that, then they're probably just tankies.

I get your point but I left reddit & joined the lemmyverse just a week ago, and did not get banned/censored.

I just felt that a ton of small niggles both technical and content-/moderation-wise had accumulated towards a tipping point.

I have used old.reddit for the longest time and there's always been some glitches (...). There seem to be delays, and they're getting longer. Whether this is just old.reddit or in general, I do not care.

There are other indicators that reddit isn't interested in keeping old.reddit working. It's just a question of time.

Then there's bots, including wetware bots. Whether they're just re-posting to farm karma or actively flooding certain topics with vile opinion or - after a noticeable delay that has nothing to do with timezones - tip the up/downvote balance in their favor: they are here, and it's not getting better.

i joined lemmy today because i deleted reddit during the API purge and just replaced it with RSS feeds of news orgs before finally digging in to trying this out. and this was literally one of the first comments i saw. incredibly ironic and very hilarious

God, I wish. But I heard reddit even grew when 3rd party API was banned. Why would it be different this time?

Your submission was removed as it advocates violence against either a specific person or a group of people. This rule includes thinly-veiled threats, or slogans such as "Eat the Rich". This is against Lemmy’s terms of service. (/s)

The fact that "affluent" and "effluent" are basically the same word can't be coincidence

He likes the X because the ASCII code is 88, which is a number of note among neo-Nazis because it stands for HH, or Heil Hitler. I'm now convinced of this. The coincidence is too strong to overlook.

I got a 7 day ban for mentioning that someone managed to make Musk's AI say Musk and Trump deserve the death penalty in a thread shitting on Musk's AI.

I posted this comment once before but it fits here so I’ll post it again:

I got [perma] banned for telling a mod “spank spank spank. Thats the sound I make as I spank you. Yes yes yes. Thats the sound you make as I spank you.” And I don’t regret it

It has always been a threat / call to violence and anyone saying otherwise is trying to justify it / soften the meaning.

Why would I say otherwise to justify? And regarding the softening, that's no problem some meat tenderizer won't solve, It's not that you have to be rich, you know. Handing over the loot is not too much to ask, seriously. If you can't find the irony in there, you might want to watch the same titled movie from the 1980s. I doubt you'll like it.

If we let the rich continue as they have been doing, then we’ll be forced to either all starve to death or sustain ourselves on the only meat available.

The comments in this thread remind me of something, I forget the original medium, but it was about fairy tales.

Paraphrasing, it spoke about how people passed along fairy tales, not because of our belief in dragons existing, but to reassure us that dragons can be defeated.

Also I recommend everyone watch, or rewatch, V for Vendetta. Many may suggest reading it, which is absolutely as valid. However, as a fan of movies, Hugo Weaving's performance is in a league of it's own.

I was put on a 3 day ban for "hate" because I commented about the ongoing Palestine/Israel conflicts. Basically, I said Hamas committed a horrible act but the IDF/Netanyahu have also done terrible things. To be clear, I said BOTH groups have blood on their hands.

I was banned, but commenters who condemned Hamas/Palestine and called for ALL of them to be killed and then PRAISED the IDF/Netanyahu for killing them, were NOT banned.

Apparently, we are only allowed to speak out against one particular group 🇵🇸 ☪️. The other group 🇮🇱 🕎, is absolutely innocent, perfect, and has never harmed anyone. Allegedly.

commenting the word black, or demographic can get you banned too.

Maybe it's time to start using rhyming slang?

You make a short phrase where the last word rhymes with the word you want. So for "rich", the phrase could be "bait and switch". Then you drop the end and just use the first part, in this case "rich" becomes "bait". Eat the bait. You could also make one for "eat", say "sugar beet", then eat-->sugar.

Sugar the Bait.
