That's it.

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 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

This is the same kind of thing the 19 year old high school dropout with two kids he doesn’t have custody of posts on Facebook. Like “the devil whispered in my ear you can’t handle the storm and i said i am storm”

What a great fat wet lettuce of a human. He's only capable of paying other people to do his dirty work.

[–] davesmith@feddit.uk 21 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (1 children)

No.

Elon's mother stopped him having that cage fight with Mark Zuckerberg because of his bad back. That wasn't his fault.

Arguing for the appropriation of billionaires' assets is not violence.

Says the pussy who backed down from Zuckerberg cuz his mom told him to

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 10 points 14 hours ago

It's good to be the king.

He doesn't have to be the one actually inflicting the violence on others, but with his power and influence he is capable of great violence by making others carry it out in his name.

Fucking billionaires... :/

[–] tabarnaski@sh.itjust.works 38 points 16 hours ago

#stonerthoughts

This should show Americans how billionaires perceive "peaceful protests".

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 35 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

when did Lemmy become the "I got banned from reddit" frontpage?

ffs people, STOP GOING THERE. Stop thinking about it. It's a shithole url. Get over it.

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 64 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

This sub, the one you are currently participating in by commenting on it, is titled “Reddit”…

[–] Famko@lemmy.world 23 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I'll be a bit pedantic and say that this is a community not a subreddit, since we're, y'know, not on reddit.

[–] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 16 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Oh I thought “sub” was like universal terminology like “sub-forum” or something. So to clarify “sub” here is “community”?

[–] BlemboTheThird@lemmy.ca 11 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

It's fine to still call it a sub. Everyone know what you mean. If anyone else really feels the need to be pedantic, it's just not a "sub-reddit," but you still "sub-scribe" to it, so...

He is such a teenager. It's embarrassing.

[–] bampop@lemmy.world 33 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (2 children)

Ironically, what Musk posted is perfectly acceptable ( in and of itself, ignoring the context of the person who is saying it ) since violence or the threat of violence is sometimes necessary to prevent things getting worse. For example, "Ukraine should be helped to defend itself" is a call for violence.

Which is why it's such a bullshit excuse to ban speech for that reason alone. I got banned for suggesting France might help out the USA by shipping over any surplus guillotines. I'm sure they would have no issue at all if I were enthusiastically advocating genocide. Never mind, I needed a push to make the move to Lemmy ; )

[–] freely1333@reddthat.com 11 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

The line is state sponsored violence, generally. Likely with a little bias on what state is on the giving and receiving ends of said violence. Thats the rule at least so far as I can tell, at least.

That’s gotta be the stupidest thing I’ve ever read.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 17 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

The crux of fascism is making your base paranoid. Make them believe all their murder is done out of self defense. If they would not kill all those other people, others would kill them.

The perfect example is the paranoid ethnostate in the middle east.

Sorry, but I agree with this one. Not the "great" violence part, but yeah. If you are not capable of inflicting violence, you are not making a choice. You have no choice but to be harmless.

We used to say this a good bit in r/liberalgunowners, along the lines of, "I am a peaceful man, but that does not make me harmless." You would have a hella time pushing me hard enough to draw, but I have the choice if it comes to that.

This notion is exactly why conservatives think they can run roughshod over us. They see us as harmless little twerps that couldn't fight back if our life depended on it.

That makes no sense. You can totally call yourself peaceful if you are peaceful.

Who doesn't want to be harmless? Who would want to cause harm????

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 15 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

You're just not alpha enough to understand. Real men beat their wives

Hey, I can beat my wife, sometimes. Like I have won many games of Catan over the years.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 27 points 21 hours ago

That Mangione fellow, what a peaceful guy.

[–] guiguinofake@sh.itjust.works 24 points 10 hours ago

Elon Musk ~~'s assets~~ should be liquidated

Elon isn't capable of anything resembling violence. He's a skinny fat pussy.

[–] ScoreDivision@programming.dev 8 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

There's nothing skinny about him. He's regular fat

Someone should post that text to reddit, see what happens.

Also, if you didn't already think there was going to be violence, now you should.

[–] TTH4P@lemm.ee 16 points 21 hours ago

We have to stop being surprised at this behavior and start expecting it and rejecting it, on sight.

[–] dumblederp@aussie.zone 14 points 5 hours ago

Fuck reddit.

[–] alkbch@lemmy.ml 12 points 11 hours ago

What do you mean by Elon Musk’s assets should be liquidated?

Also, Reddit and X have very different moderating policies.

[–] blady_blah@lemmy.world 11 points 13 hours ago

This feeds into the right-wing fantasy that they're super tough warriors. You see a lot of literature and fictional TV aimed in this direction.

It's kind of like the white savior complex but instead of saving some victimized minority, they're saving weaker and more helpless individuals in their own society. But all the military hero returns home and confronts nasty biker gang or evil drug dealers and kicks their ass without when trying. It all reinforced their world view.

[–] udon@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago

Apart from all the other bullshit rightfully called out below, this makes an illogical implication. Being the smart autistic superbrain Melon claims to be, it's surprising he doesn't see that. Or maybe not, because in reality he's just a sad ass who is too scared of just going to therapy.

If: Not being capable of violence => Not being able to call yourself peaceful

Then: Being able to call yourself peaceful => Being capable of violence

But not: Being capable of violence => Being able to call yourself peaceful

Receiving a permanent ban from Reddit was worth it.

Also Elon, " Mom, Mark is being mean to me again." It's ok lil Elon, she says. You are funnier and more handsome.

[–] Tezzerets_Tea_Time@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago

I think we need to show Musk how peaceful we've been and how far from harmless we are. Let's give him a very personal, intimate lesson.
