Call them States … like states within a federation.

I got banned for posting the name Luigi and an animated gif.

He is also doing all the above while removing Congress approved funds. Congress controls the purse, not Elon Musk who may or may not be the head of DOGE (it varies based on who you ask or if you are under a court order).

That is the point I was making about Twitter, and it applies to Reddit as well. You have to stop that radicalization socially, they need their hands slapped to know that they are wrong. Twitter and Reddit dont just let MAGA go crazy, they give them a safe space to do it in. They block us normal people from telling them they are being crazy. He’ll, Reddit let’s them throw people out if they don’t have Conservative flair (like a checkmark).

The institutions are preventing proper social responses to these hateful people.

I understand what you are trying to say, but Twitter is far from free speech. Twitter is a mob/mind control device. It brings hatred to the forefront. The worst posts thrown right into people’s faces, then they tailor the content to focus the hatred.
One only needs to type the words “Cis Gender” in Twitter to see the censorship, the hatred, and the target all working together.

That’s not free speech, it’s brainwashing. Reddit is just as bad.

The bot was probably right. That has been yelled a lot. Soylent Green is … Rich people!

He would snort lines of it … it is crystals after all.

Yes, just the act of not producing products in countries with slave wages will make things more expensive.

Yes, sadly, freedom of speech includes freedom of hate speech. The platform would have to rely on its users downvoting or ridiculing the offender rather than outright bans.

Because when a trap kills the rats you do not punish the bait in the rat trap.

Red Hat = HatRed

I got banned yesterday and did not know what Lemmy was until I did a search for Reddit alternatives.

If you post on r/conservative they will actually stalk you and look through your posts to report stuff … but you report them and that is ok.

Same here.

Because that word combination just makes sense.

I think what pissed me off most with Discovery was them stealing that Tardigrade storyline from a videogame and then fighting the poor game developer down to the last in court. Also, that storyline made no sense for Star Trek.

Yes, but that is like being banned on a specific Reddit. You didnt follow the rules. Reddit will ban you from the entire platform.

Yes, this is exactly what it is. A call for violence against liberals? No worries. A statement that violence may be the only option left to fight a government controlled by billionaires? Banned.

Incorrect. I got banned yesterday for “Eat the Rich” and Luigi favoritism. I believe the post in question (you never know with a Reddit ban because they dont show you) was responding to someone’s post that mentioned the French Revolution with a Guillotine gif and “Git-r-Done”.

Yea, apparently I was plotting murder or something by doing that.

I have a strange opinion, but here goes: The Right to Free Speech (Im in the US here), should protect you from censorship. Doing what Reddit is doing should be considered a Rights violation and we should be able to sue them into the ground.
