The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

This reminded me that I'm still watching some subs through still existing mirrors like undelete so I don't give reddit views, and I noticed that a big 21k upvoted post on subredditdrama about /r/conservative starting to panic over whether trump even knows what he's doing was deleted. ~~All I can imagine for why it was deleted was intervention because of this rule, I couldn't find a mod post on it, it might have been admin intervention.~~ EDIT: There was a mod post, that it was going to stay up, but then another mod who posts in dogwhistle subs and has a tendency of removing posts from /r/conservative did. It WAS mods this time, but it's still bad actors pushing a certain outcome.

Honestly: leave Reddit to the bots.

Anyone who is still there after all the bullshit, well, I would argue that either they're oblivious, or some kind of bootlicker, either way, we are probably better off without them.

On an unrelated note, I hope Luigi gets Justice. I mean, he won't, but.... I can hope.

The just outcome for Luigi is to acquit him. He acted in the best interest of the people. He was protecting and serving the people. He's a better enforcement officer than any LEO I've ever met.

Best of all, he wasn't tasked with doing it. Nobody asked him to, nor did anyone pay him for his efforts. He's a hero of the people. IMO, his actions, while extreme, are on par with someone who saves a person from a burning car, or picks up a victim and drives them to the hospital so they can get to the care they need more quickly. Luigi just did it on a much broader scale. Here's this guy that's preventing people from getting to the care they need. He's like a bouncer for a hospital. So when an injured patent rolls up and the bouncer says "no" to providing care, it's reasonable to remove that bouncer by any means necessary to save the people that he's blocking from getting the care they need.

Yes, he used methods that are unconventional. Yes, he probably shouldn't have. The outcome is the same. He moved the needle towards good.

While I can sympathize with those that lost their father/brother/husband/son/etc. I can't sympathize with the man that was removed from blocking critical care to those who needed it, paid for it, and wanted it.

Anyone in charge at any US insurance company: they're is blood on your hands. Do the right thing, or Luigi won't be the last martyr to go down for the good of the people.

I’ve been calling him Patron Saint Luigi lately lol

This is perfect for a non violent easter post 🤩

[–] QuarkVsOdo@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

If "Section 230" is repealed by the Maga-Idiots any US social media plattfrom will become liable for what the user's posts, they will have to do MUCH cleanup.

Any threat. Any wrongful accusation, and harm done to reputation will be OWNED not by the user in question.. but the company providing the plattform, as if they are a newspaper and all users are staff writers.

Imagine writing "Dodge only make shitty cars that break all the time" on X, and X is now held accountable by Stellantis for damaging their reputation.

I hope they do it. Plattforms that make billions from free work of the users, should own the liabilities.

[–] toodd@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

it would also un-shield any site from user generated content, making lemmy instance operators liable. all comment boxes on any site would disappear; the dead internet theory would become a reality overnight within the us

[–] QuarkVsOdo@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Well than don't operate within the US.

The Maga aßholes want to be hateful on the internet without getting moderated. Without moderation it's okay that the plattform becomes the publisher and is liable. I'd not be sad for meta/reddit/Twitter to just implode on legal fees.. owning the fake news they allow to be distributed..while making money off advertisers..

I think it's interesting people keep posting things about this particular person when it's likely to be filtered in all kiinds of media.

Not that I'm advocating for violence, but man, it seems like the people doing this would get their point across a lot more easily by posting pictures of groups of teens.

[–] Syrc@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

I’d say letting people realize that even a picture of the guy with no violent messages attached gets removed is a really good way to get a point across.

[–] IceFoxX@lemm.ee 8 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (6 children)

Everyone worships him and his deeds at the same time you let America turn into a dictatorship and let trump destroy everything. So hypocritical to celebrate him but at the same time sipping coffee watching all your future being destroyed... Luigi, on the other hand, has taken action... what about you and the heads in the sand? Hypocrites hypocrites hypocrites FCK Amerika

Pretty sure he is pissed on the citizen too!

[–] Cgers@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

It's all hero worship, our civic tradition is (unintentionally?) very heavily based on The Great Man concept, Washington crossed the Potomac, not the people in the army, MLK won the right for civil rights, not the thousands of people working together for decades, etc etc

Luigi will save us (no, it will take all of us)

I'm not saying that anyone should stop supporting him.

I am saying that if the end goal is to communicate messages of support for the types of things he did, it would likely make more sense to post pictures that couldn't be easily filtered.

Groups of teens would get a message across("guillotines") but would be difficult to filter effectively.

Pictures of one particular character are a lot easier to block.

Filtering systems can effectively block 100% of pictures of Luigi Mangione and of the character Luigi, but if people just posted picture after picture of groups of teenagers, that would be a lot harder to effectively filter.

Removing billionaires is self defense, don't let anyone tell you different. They commit acts of gross violence on the general populace every single day. It's time to re-balance the scales.

[–] Cgers@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 18 hours ago

The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual, crime.

[–] Zzyzx@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, the existence of billionaires requires violence be perpetrated upon entire groups of people.

lol in France we got the same but it's basically just one guy who owns all the media.

[–] Wanpieserino@lemm.ee 22 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Yesterday I saw clips on TV from us media supporting trump's stances on Ukraine and stuff like that. Made me quite angry because the way that the presentation of the news was set up was to influence the viewer. Nothing else. It wasn't to inform, it was to influence.

When it's about politics on Belgian nationalised TV channel, then it's always various people who share their points of view and it's more to inform than to dictate.

I was shadow banned from Reddit for making a not violent Luigi post on 12/23/24. My account was older and had high karma. I am grateful to have found this community. The state of human rights in the United States is bleak. I watched my mom die from early onset Alzheimer’s in our broken system and I don’t even have words for the cruelty in our system. How can corporations be “people” if there’s no way to hold them accountable for mass murder? Our system is broken and corrupt from top to bottom and somehow it’s about to get much worse. Luigi gave those of us who are broken and tired a fleeting moment of hope.
