i left reddit for good today with their obvious attempt at controlling the narrative like the rest of big social media. long live the lemmy federation
This was the straw that broke the camel's back. I remember seeing something a while back on r/coolguides about alternatives for various sites, including Lemmy as an alternative to Reddit. Today, I saw the writing on the wall and decided it was time.
The worst isn't just the Luigi thing, it's that in the future, they will most likely expand it to include any topic that the administration disapproves of.
my sentiment exactly. this is just the start of it. once they became a publicly traded company, it was no longer a social media for the people. may free speech live on ✊
welcome! it ain't perfect here, but at least it's decentralized and harder to manipulate in favor of the oligarchs.
I am new here, and I actually like everything about it. It’s very simplified. But the fact that it’s decentralized is the key reason to why I moved here.
Butt fuck pastries for elfs!!!
See, that sentence may not make sense, but we have free speech here, so I can say it as much as I want!
BUTT FUCK PASTRIES FOR ELFS!!!
Ooh ooh I wanna try one...
Billionaires should be shot in the street for fun like carnival games. 3 shots for a dollar!
Also, I just anally fucked a pastry for elf's. Creampied a Danish.
Welcome to Lemmy, hope you have a great time.
Reddit has only one consistently-enforced rule: don't sass the nazis.
Welcome! We are few, but the bones are good.
Yessss.
Was that AI generated? That is fucking sick, my dude. I'm gonna save it
Yeah, another db0 user has posted it in a chat and I snagged. Amazing job on it. I was floored

Remember, they're not threatened by Luigi. They're threatened by the fact that so many people love Luigi and what he stands for.
This. He's basically a martyr at this point.
Luigi reminded the people that we have power. We don't need to be subservient to the whims of corporate interests. We can choose to go a different way. He's in jail but millions of people who are inspired by him are roaming free, any of which could become the next Luigi, and wack some CEO who is devoid of empathy or ethics (which is all of them). Anyone could be the perpetrator, anyone could be the target.
It's like a large chunk of the USA is now part of anonymous. Expect us.
(And for anyone who binds anonymous with 4chan, you don't understand anonymous)

Let's be real, all it takes is one person struck by tragedy who no longer has anything to live for choosing to go out this way rather than going quietly. Maybe their kid was killed in the nth school shooting of the year. Maybe they're dying of cancer due to delayed treatment. Maybe they're financially ruined by medical debt. Like you said Luigi reminded people of what is possible, and there's plenty of tragedies that can be correctly attributed to the choices of the rich that happen every day
Kill one rich guy - complete and utter censorship.
Be a rich guy who is a twice impeached convicted felon presidential traitor making decisions resulting in casualties over the thousands - whoah, now, wouldn't want their feelings to be hurt!
State of the world in a nutshell.
It is amazing how much fear Luigi has put into the establishment.
Welcome, hope you will enjoy your stay as much as I did. Water is just fine over here
thank you! free speech for everyone!
There's still lots of moderation on Lemmy, but thankfully it's all public. The lemmy.world modlog can be found here https://lemmy.world/modlog.
He "allegedly" killed one of them. So they should feel threatened.
No, not because of that guy. Because of us. They are afraid of us. They should be.
Oh don't worry - Lemmy will soon have people posting child porn, gore, or other things en-masse before reporting the site/domain. I've seen it on almost every Reddit alternative since Digg shut down.
They'll run hit pieces against this place for being extremist, they'll do all sorts of nasty shit.
So first they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you.
I wonder how resistant to that Lemmy will be, with the whole federation thing. Harder to ban it when it’s not just one domain.
Yeah, I mean I barely understand this federated stuff. To my understanding, each instance has their own rules. I can't post nudes on my Lemmy.ca to my understanding. I think if there's an instance that is running "afoul" then the instance I connect with can block the entire instance?
I think that it was more the fear in that he was the closest thing to bring so many of us together since, i don’t know, maybe ever? We can’t agree on who controls the price of eggs, but we all get fucked by healthcare and rich people!
It's the Luigi overpowered as can be.
Naw, ever see A Bug's Life where the Crickets only bully the ants because it's to distract them from realizing a thousand ants are stronger than one cricket?
Reddit Exodus v43, stay tuned everyone
It's not so much the guy they're afraid of, they're afraid of what his actions could spur others into repeating. They're afraid of what can be done to them if multiple people follow suit. And y'know what? Maybe that's what we need now. Enough of us fearing them, and them fearing us. We don't need them. They need us. And it's well past the time to give them a reminder of that. Through force, if necessary. Preferably without bloodshed, but at this rate it doesn't look good. They've shown time and again they don't care about how many of us lose our lives to preventable circumstances, so it's time to MAKE them care again.
The Romans felt threatened because of Jesus.
Well he was super violent.
and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, 14And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: 15And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
Upvoting that probably gets a ban now.
I like the line by Killer Mike ("Walking in the Snow"), which I think he says he got from Dick Gregory:
"All of us serve the same masters, all of us nothin' but slaves / Never forget in the story of Jesus, the hero was killed by the state".
Powerful stuff.
Edit to add: honestly that whole track rips and is super relevant right now.
SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS
Free Luigi
I left reddit for good yesterday as well. To hell with their censorship.
All this violent imagery, my stars! I need pearls to clutch.
Just proves we need more luigis in the world. But reddit has been shit for a while.
Well, Trump said that they will push to get the death penalty for drug dealers...
Lock and load, folks.
We're hunting pharmaceutical CEOs.
They are afraid of copycats, but they had months to try and stop them by just loosening their strangle hold on society. I heard another exec got offed last month in his home in Oregon. it's starting
What do Reddit's management and my confidence in my own heterosexuality have in common?
