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.

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 saw a few sites about it

Also odriscolls being real and modern day still killing ppl openly wasnt talked about for long on reddit, and uh only find posts saying they arent that dangerous now when before theyd talk about how they became another large group

Did I get this right? Redditors are not allowed to write "nword", but they are allowed using the actual N-word?

Fcking hypocrites!

[-] DavidGarcia@feddit.nl 5 points 2 weeks ago

it's additional rules for the subreddit on top of the site wide rules for all of reddit

[-] coldsideofyourpillow@lemmy.cafe 5 points 2 weeks ago

That sounds like Xitter. Fortunately, Reddit hasn't devolved that far... yet.

[-] Novice_Idiot@lemmy.wtf 10 points 2 weeks ago

Well yeah. I mean we do need a revolution. These corpos need to gtfo and be dissolved.

damn... "Luigi's Mansion" has a totally different ring nowadays.....

[-] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago

Probably upset about "Happy Holidays" or something.

Do they prefer vacation as the only people who uses anti work are American.

[-] LemUrun@pawb.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

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.

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. Not that it matters in a public forum but I point this out because the list we're looking at is subreddit specific list of banned words that will trigger a bot to remove the automatically comment/delete the comment but still show a comment was made.

With that being said I have no fuckin clue what im looking at for the rest of the drama. In the image. It's 4 boxes that could be read L to R from the top or it could be columns where top L is 1 bottom L is 2 top R is 3...

I think they didn't like triggering their automated moderating system because what they felt was legitimate content. Little absurd to expect a reply from a real person mod in a span of a couple minutes tho.

[-] aasatru@kbin.earth 3 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[-] aasatru@kbin.earth 2 points 2 weeks ago

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. :)
