The fact that people are tiptoeing around it in the comments and it still got locked is insane.

    We should use this as a chance to spread the word about lemmy… “Lots of Mario Bros related content on lemmy” or something to that effect.

    Fuck reddit! If the comment isn’t an overt call to violence let the user base upvote or downvote the comment as moderation. These are only words and we pay them too much credence. This is exactly why I left. You can barely have a thought there without the thought police banning you for some vague interpretation of the rules now. Fuck these pussies that whinge at every little vague threat and defend the literal demon billionaire class.

    Saying without saying is still saying. Reddit mods may be stupid, but not that stupid.

    Do you think you can trick the rules by just prefacing everything with “I am not say, that…”

        Doesn’t justify doing so as well. It should be punished the same way. But don’t complain about you being punished, but justice being served unequally.

          I’m all for equality. Equality doesn’t punch down, though. The rules don’t get to punish one group first and then say, “Well, we’ll get to that other group, too. Don’t worry about them.” If there isn’t equality throughout, then it’s just favoritism. If Reddit wants to have rules, then Reddit should abide by them at all times. If you think it requires too much effort to police that site, post something that falls hard left, and something that falls hard right, and see which one gets removed first. The site, as its core, is unequal.

      But is even mentioning Luigi against the rules? Do reddit rules ban the mention of any murderer (and he’s not even convicted), like Gacy or the Menendez brothers, or just ones that killed a millionaire?

      Truth is tech bros like pigboy steve don’t want to be reminded that they’re giant pieces of shit, so of course they don’t have consistent rules.

    I am impressed at the level that this man (allegedly) scared the ruling class. I think they’re making a critical mistake though in assuming that these types of crackdowns combined with a spiraling economy won’t just make people who are even more desperate and motivated.
