Anything. You say anything against Trump they ban you.
Charlie Kirk was shot by an extremest conservative and died defending his position on gun control and gun violence.
I can't imagine a better way for him to have died.
We hanged people like Charlie Kirk at Nuremberg. Literally. That is not an exaggeration. Charlie Kirk used the exact same journalist techniques, the race-baiting, the "honest debates" about the existence of minority groups, the breathless reporting of every crime committed by members of minority groups, as Julius Streicher. Streicher was a leading Nazi propagandist and agitator. At Nuremberg, it was recognized that even though his crimes were primarily committed through acts of speech, he was still guilty. His trial consisted mostly of presentations of his own works and speeches. He was charged and convicted of incitement to genocide and crimes against humanity. For all the innocent lives he helped end, he was hanged from the neck until dead.
And Charlie Kirk did the exact same thing. He even shared some of the same targets as the Nazis. His diatribes against trans people could have been taken right out of one of Streicher's publications. Charlie Kirk openly called for the elimination of trans people entirely. The man was guilty of incitement to genocide. In a just world, he would have been tried, convicted, and hanged for his crimes.
The tragedy of Charlie Kirk's death was that it was an act of vigilante justice. No one deserves to take a life, not Charlie Kirk, and not his assassin. It is a tragedy that he never faced his day in court. But one should never make the mistake of thinking he was a hero or martyr. The world is objectively a better place with him six feet under ground. He dedicated his whole life to hurting other people and taking innocent lives. His whole project was an attempt to incite genocide against vulnerable minority groups. He was guilty of crimes against humanity and incitement to genocide. It's a tragedy that he never faced a jury, but there is nothing tragic about the fact the man himself is dead. Him being dead is worthy of celebration. Him being killed is not.
Luigi
It is hard to say because there was a time when Lemmy users even got penalized for celebrating what Luigi did.
And it was a very dumb period. Because I don't see how "I'm glad that piece of shit CEO got what was coming to him" somehow constituted glorifying violence.
It's such a stupid stance to have and still is, because it is just people grasping for straws as to who is the most moralistic. Come on now, even they behind their keyboards probably celebrated it too.
Please change the titel of your post.
That depends on the instance you're using. Each instance has their set of rules
Charlie Kirk was in the closet
You can't really talk about Lemmy on there
I have. I've provided links to my instance and gotten upvotes. 🤷♂️
Anything you can get shadow banned for on reddit ... Such a making a comment on one sub and getting banned on a different 12 because of some mod with power issues. It's not happened to me here yet. Also fuck spez and I deleted my reddit account of 14 years so I can't say anything on reddit.
I got banned from 3 communities I’d never so much as interacted with on here after JordanLund abused his mod power.
I'm guessing "it's good Charlie Kirk is dead" would get you in trouble on there?
TBF most Lemmy instances prohibit glorification of violence, too.
Most of the front page was variations on that statement immediately after the shooting.
I can say all sorts of thing on Lemmy and not on Reddit because I don't have a Reddit account. lol
"Fuck Reddit" "Fuck russia ! " "Fuck Donny 2 Dolls !" "Donny 2 Inches is a russian agent..." ......
Fuck Spez
I’ll always say fuuuuuck Spez with my wholllle chest. He’s such a little cretin.
Theoretically, anything.
In practice? Mods abuse their power here at similar rates as those on reddit.
It's good we have the modlog to see for ourselves why moderation teams shouldn't be taken seriously, but it hasn't stopped them from doing what they want, when they want.
It'll be nice when people start recognizing the need for open discussion and we get more fediverse instances that allow freedom of speech.
The Lemmy world news sub is a trans rights echo chamber.
I fully support trans rights and hate the rhetoric against them. People should be allowed to live their lives the way they feel comfortable within reason and law.
But Jesus. I blocked world news when I got into it with an mod who said I'm a transphobe when I brought up a trans issue. Sighted that I had multiple downvoted comments as a slight against me.
If you can't listen to criticism get off the internet.
Yea one of the admins/founders of this platform, I think his username is Davel(?) is SUPER pro-censorship of whatever he doesn’t like and will just remove non-violative stuff that doesn’t conform to his myopic worldview. There’s definitely still tyrannical mods/admins here, but credit where it’s due to the founders — it’s easy enough to just make a new account or find a new instance lol.
I said that trump fucks kids in the fed news subreddit, and got banned for inciting and promoting child porn.
