Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

"In the wake of this tragedy, and amid other acts of politically motivated violence, Congress has a duty to oversee the online platforms that radicals have used to advance political violence," Comer said.

I believe the cause of death was the bullet that passed through his neck.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 35 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Believe it or not, fentanyl overdose

[–] roux@hexbear.net 19 points 2 days ago

I'm not even joking but my mom tried to say George Floyd died from fentanyl.

[–] someone@hexbear.net 22 points 2 days ago

It was just someone expressing their opinion via the second amendment.

CEOs from [nsa surveillance platform], [pentagon surveillance platform], [private capital surveillance platform], and Gabe Newell, Scion of the Ur-Gamer, to testify before congress on causes of political radicalization

[–] segfault11@hexbear.net 25 points 2 days ago

this all happened because gaben wanted to make a fancy launcher for half life 2

Congress never gave a shit about the right wing content that radicalized countless mass shooters. One fascist gets shot and all of a sudden online platforms are a top concern.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 30 points 2 days ago

This country cranks out nazi adjacent mass shooters but their victims “weren’t political”

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 47 points 3 days ago (1 children)

i'm not a scientist or anything but it was probably the bullet

[–] TrashGoblin@hexbear.net 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No, his neck just did that.

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 24 points 2 days ago

Statistically, a lot of fascists' necks have. We should probably isolate them until this whole thing is sorted out.

Now, Mr Smith, it says hear that you were a part of something called a 'server' for 'marvel's rival's gooning sessions,' now, what does that mean?

[–] RION@hexbear.net 31 points 2 days ago

Reading this like that Kennedy senator with the excessive southern drawl

[–] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 44 points 3 days ago (3 children)

who the fuck is radicalizing users on steam.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 38 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Is there a way to make Hitler more racist?

[–] Dudewitbow@lemmy.zip 23 points 2 days ago

Hitler is a notrious sex icon on steam, with raving games like "Sex with Hitler"

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 34 points 2 days ago

The people making those "woke games to avoid" lists?

[–] sourquincelog@hexbear.net 30 points 2 days ago

Oh it happens, just in the bad direction hitler-detector

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 40 points 3 days ago (2 children)

90s Video games moral panic all over again. No one is biting because it was so debunked back then. Why are they forcing this thing?

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 35 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Seem like they're doing anything

Justify further crackdowns

Manufacturing consent for government censorship

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 2 points 2 days ago

I hope someone has the nerve to reference the government study that was pulled down showing the bulk of these types of attacks are by Reich wingers. No I don't expect it to be a businessman, but a politician will do, especially a Republican.

[–] graymess@hexbear.net 22 points 2 days ago

No one is biting because videogames are now bigger than all other forms of media combined. Back then you could threaten the entire industry over moral panic about Mortal Kombat fatalities. That's just not going to work anymore.

[–] segfault11@hexbear.net 33 points 2 days ago

CEO of hexbear doesn't have to go because they've been cooperating the whole time fedposting

[–] Des@hexbear.net 27 points 2 days ago

r/trueanon has less then a month left it seems. i guarantee every left of center, trans, and LGBTQ+ subreddit is deleted and logs turned over after this.

[–] KnilAdlez@hexbear.net 31 points 3 days ago

CEO of hexbear slips away from consequences yet again!

[–] sewer_rat_420@hexbear.net 23 points 2 days ago

We are going to get a congressman asking Dan Clancy why he sang happy birthday to Hasan Piker
