We're not supposed to celebrate death or violence.
In unrelated matters, I just want to say that I'm really enjoying Lemmy's m/music community today, y'all should check them out!
Edit: ITT: a lot of people who haven't checked out https://lemmy.world/c/music?dataType=Post&sort=New
Hey man, nice shot!
Such a banger song.
I will always celebrate the death of terrorists that target civilians. Stochastic terrorism is still terrorism.
It depends on what instance you're on. We don't have ads and corporate masters here. As long as you don't encourage someone to go do something like that I think you'll be fine. Depends on the instance admins tho.
!music@lemmy.world for people who'd like an instance-agnostic link. Idk of a way to specify the sort using this method tho.
I'm not celebrating anything. I don't wish anybody to die, but I certainly won't get dressed to go to everybody's funeral.
cough. Yeah, go check out m/music on Lemmy.
You don't tell me what I'm supposed to do!
Yeah seriously. I’m not that attached to this account. I’ll celebrate whatever I want. I simply don’t want to celebrate violence but not because of some fucking hand wringing rule.
I think we could use some more opening statements though.
Ohhh the wu tang post. Chef’s kiss.
Far too subtle for lemmykins.
yeah but i'm done being dishonest
ObscureMusic (https://sopuli.xyz/c/obscuremusic@piefed.social) has been doing pretty good job, I celebrate posts there all the time. :)
Why are we not supposed to celebrate death?
Because it can be used as an excuse for governments, corporations, or deranged people to target the instances that host us, and the people who run those instances.
For celebrating violence, maybe.
Not for celebrating death.
