    I’m old enough to remember when Elon released “the twitter files” in an attempt to demonstrate how the federal government supposedly exerted egregious pressure on private media in violation of first amendment right.

      Same. Joined at the Digg migration. Left at the 3rd party App-ocolypse. Reddit is dead. Or perhaps it’s more accurate to say that it’s a zombie: with more bots than actual human users, it’s the Dead Internet Theory in action.

        Exactly the two events that got me on and off Reddit. I use LibRedirect to rewrite any reddit links to proxies that only work about 15% of the time, and it really discourages me from even bothering…

    There has been unwarranted censorship at a scale I’ve never seen on Reddit I thought it was the last bastion of free speech

    While actual hate speech and seriously harmful content goes completely unchecked

    It is unfortunate

    Steve Bannon isnt welcome in Colorado. Phil Long Auditorium shouldn’t host nazis. I was banned for saying as much from Fucking Reddit of all places Pointing out that there have been fires at dealerships lately does not equate to harrasment Phil Long Auditorium should not host the Rally period. Their casual attitude towards white supremacy is unacceptable and while i dont believe they should necessarily be burnt to the ground, there are better places to buy automobiles They deserve to be boycotted And i will punch a nazi mod in the face 100% of the time

    Edit: UPDATE 2 PROTESTORS WERE RAN OVER BY TWO DIFFERENT HATE RALLY ATTENDEE"S CARS !!! NAZIS ARE VIOLENT PIECES OF SHIT

    Told you so r/Coloradosprings

    Fuck yall

    I got banned from reddit for saying that netenyahu should be put on trial and hanged for war crimes.

    After their censorship of me for saying a reasonable thing (a war criminal made to face justice) I will say I have altered my opinion. He should be tied up, simply read his charges and then unceremoniously shot in the head.

      I was banned for saying traitors to our nation should be publicly executed. Which is our actual law. So that’s confusing

        You can’t just cite established law without thinking about what Musk/Trump think. What do you think this is, a democracy?

        I said justice would’ve seen Trump tried on January 7th and hung on January 8th. That got me a soft ban. Then I said kill all Nazis but six and save them for pallbearers. That got me a permaban. Tearing the bandaid off on 12 years of comments and posts hurt but so far I like the attitude of Lemmy a lot better. It feels like real conversation instead of just shitposting and trolling.

          Fun Fact: you should be wiping all comments and posts on every socmed platform at LEAST once a month.

          Which reminds me that I am overdue on THIS one.

            Why? So the Nazis don’t find us? I feel like the only possible conclusion to this is a civil war because most of us don’t want to live in moronville

      Seems too easy on him. I like the hanging. Or the drugs that work so badly.
