Hey, at least my ban brought me over here. Their blatant attempts to quell desent shows alot. Shoulda got out when they started putting ads in the comments, but watching them protect billionaires from criticism, more than they do minorities from racism is eye opening.

For profit social media platforms are npt your friend.

As with for-profit newspapers and news agencies, they are biased more towards the ownership classn than the proletariat. They might present left-wing stories and positions, but never enough that it threatens their property and profit gains.

The same with politicians who have to raise money to campaign. Even liberals cannot ever push for policy that serves the public but not the ownership interests.

Has anyone tried commenting "Eat the poor“?

What? I'm clearly saying Tax the Rich.

Regardless, fuck that website.

Stop fucking going to Reddit!!

There is nothing for you there except bots and dead accounts.

Honestly there are one or two communities I was helping keeping alive so they don’t go to Twitter, but it seems that’s happened to one and the other is… not worth it anymore.

Fuck reddit

Banning for upvotes is the most ludicrous way to censor a forum ever.

It lowers engagement. It makes people not want to upvote.

Let's start a new t protest, downvote everything.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 15 hours ago

now they are also targeting the word luigi, which is more ridiculous

[–] sittinonatoilet@sopuli.xyz 22 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Would ‘eat the poor’ get removed?

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 19 points 22 hours ago

Defund the police - Banned

Defund DoE, Medicaid, and Social Security - Reddit gold

Their brains should boycott their lungs

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago

Using your account? Permabanned for trying to circumvent a ban. Yeah... fuck reddit

The real boring dystopia is the ~~friends~~ warnings and bans we accumulated along the way

Digest the decadent

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 36 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

They could lean into sarcasm:“don’t forget to tip your landlord”. Or just Koalang it, coming up with an ever-shifting system of allegorical codewords (“green Mario” could probably last for a week or so before the river crabs catch on).

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 4 points 11 hours ago

“don’t forget to tip your landlord”.

Guaranteed some people will take that seriously.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago

Very much intentional, as with any song advocating for "violence"

[–] Placebonickname@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Feast on financially-stable?

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 3 points 20 hours ago

Let’s not mince words, let’s mince the wealthy instead - quicker, and much more nutritious

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The mods there always sucked, it’s why I built up r/boringdystopia instead.
