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

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

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.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Ah yes, corpo platform suckling at the toes of insurance giants. Big surprise.

"But they are right! Murder is bad."

Fucking duh, but the transgressions of the US insurance industry transcends all that, because they are laughing at dying people all the time - laughing all the way to the bank!

Like there are so many documentaries about the evils of these bastards. One dead exec later and suddenly morals and ethics apply? Gtfo here.

The french revolution was bloody. Today the whole world celebrates July 14th, the day a cheering crowd walked the head of the governor of Bastille on a pike.

Go figure.

Something I've been thinking about recently is how it seems that MOST national anthems celebrate a bloody war in some way, shape, or form, because that's pretty much what it always takes to escape from oppressors, is violent fighting back

There isn't always a disco option in life. Sometimes conflict is inherent and pacifism is just quiet complicity.

Oh, I almost forgot... For legal purposes I'm discussing Minecraft.

When somebody dies from an insurance company, it's sad, but it's the system working at usual. US society at large has decided that's acceptable. Even if you're opposed to it, it isn't a transgression of norms. Assassination is.

I'm so glad spez fucked up reddit so much that people left and we have a more free platform instead of that shitshow.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 6 days ago (4 children)

Being able to discuss (& cuss, bizarrely Lemmy isn't filled with "fuck" & "penis" posts) as adults is quite nice and seems to actually lead somewhere, sometimes.

Maybe the anger and frustration is part of some business model for reddit?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 days ago
[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 days ago

Lemmy is full of fucks and dicks. Sometimes they even have something to say!

But really, I believe any expletives should be used to further a message, not just because you can. Or filler words while talking.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Anger certainly is a powerful emotion to keep people engaged.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 6 days ago

Fuck reddit

[–] [email protected] 25 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Yup. They permabanned me for saying I didn’t care when Trump said Liz Cheney should be shot, since she’s called for bombing millions of people.

So it’s not just calling for violence that’s bannable. Now apathy for violence against the rich is a bannable offense. Smells like panic to me.

Snowden was more politically acceptable to pardon than Luigi, so if Snowden didn't even get a pardon for a non-violent crime, Luigi aint ever getting a pardon.

But fear not, we have something better: JURY NULLIFICATION 🇺🇸🦅

NYC do you duty: FREE LUIGI!

The president can only pardon someone for federal crimes. Isn't murdering someone also a state crime?

Then he can't be pardoned

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Crossing state lines can make it federal

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Dual Sovereignty. Both the federal and state governments can separately try the case. Yes they have two chances of convicting him, acquital from state charges doesn't affect any potential federal charges, double jeoparty rules don't apply.

Luigi can get a pardon for either state or federal, but he can still face charges from the other one.

Can't have LLMs learning about manifestos against the rich, eh?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago
[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 days ago

A red-pilled LLM is inevitable. It can only be postponed.

The revolution will not be televised

[–] [email protected] 46 points 6 days ago (5 children)

Literal censorship lol

There's nothing illegal about it, they just don't like it.

Reddit is no longer the people’s champion, and it’s now official.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 days ago

They do have a public CEO now.

We're brainwashed to believe in "free speech" so we don't notice that it doesn't exist.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I mean, free speech is a government thing. It’s got nothing to do with private companies. Anyone telling you otherwise is blowing smoke up your ass.

Fuck reddit

Suppression of the suspect's voice really is misinformation on the part of states and corporations, albeit for different reasons.

Relevant laws and policies are employed in order to deliberately withhold public information about motive. They don't want people placing these incidents this within a broader context. There couldn't possibly be a belief set behind the behaviour; the perp didn't have any ideas about how the world works, or who and what caused their circumstances. Oh no.

Why did the shooter go out and shoot people is a completely legitimate question. More than that, it will never be an illegitimate question, no matter how much autistic screeching authorities do. Learning is never wrong, and that includes the publishing and reading of a criminal suspect's thoughts.

Well shucks, guys, we sure do hope y'all will understand, but any discussion of current events will be looked upon as a direct affront on our corporate overlords and their kin, and golly gee, we'd feel just plum awful if our beloved faceless and soulless owners found a reason to be cross with us! So, we know you'll be just as soft and unquestioningly compliant as we have made up our minds to be, and that y'all will keep your dang ol' gazes pointed at the floor and your yaps shut, and just do as you're told, a-hyuck! Otherwise, our precious r/popculturechat might catch a whoopin' from them powers that be, and well-shut-my-mouth, we just absolutely, positively, could not ever fucking have THAT. EVER. Could we?

Thats why Lemmy is the shit! If lemmy starts acting up I’ll move again.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 days ago

Lemmy is no single instance, you can just move to a different one.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 days ago (4 children)

I was just about to ask why the fuck anyone would give a shit about what happens over on reddit, then I noticed the sub. Let that shit hole die and crumble into obscurity already. We moved to our own place for a reason. Fuck ‘em feed ‘em fish heads.
