Whoo boy, looks like the .world mods are enforcing silent compliance with fascist brutality again, thats a lot of highly upvoted deleted comments.

One of these days they'll suck the boot so far down their throats they'll asphyxiatiate, but at least they'll pass with joyful tears in their eyes.

Whenever I see "Removed by mod" on a .world community, I know it probably said something I agree with. News communities shouldn't be hosted there.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Maybe, but people need to learn to speak in plausible deniability. You can check the user's moderation history to see what they said. Fascists were able to advance their ideas without getting shutdown with indirect speak and double talk. Maybe we need to learn the same.

My comment was oblique; I agreed with an historical quote then made a LOTR reference. No overt calls for violence. Still removed.

e: Please check my moderation history to see what I said. I was the 3rd comment in that thread.

They were talking about watering the tree of liberty. I'm sure you can find the correct quote and infer who was being referenced.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 14 points 1 day ago

Whenever I see "Removed by mod" I check the mod log to see what was said. Its one of the best ways to get me to read and up/down vote something.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago (3 children)

It needs a lot of watering.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We need to move on from .world. Don’t upvote any posts here.

Are there recommended news subs that aren't hosted on .world?

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

!news@beehaw.org has lots of subscribers.

(e: ~23k)

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (13 children)

How do I get to it. I’m in .world. Clicking link tells me it doesn’t exist. E: weren’t they defederated by .world?

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago

Stop being on world.

[–] Onyxonblack@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Reporter in video describes the scene like nothing very interesting is happening, like it's all perfectly normal and mundane to zip-tie the hands of people in wheelchairs behind their back or pulled into unnatural and painful-looking positions, all the while repeating the phrase "big beautiful bill" over and over with a straight face. Our "news media" is nothing but propaganda and apologia for the regime.

[–] HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The Police are neither serving nor protecting. Fuck the fascists.

[–] j0ester@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They’re serving and protecting the billionaires.

As a disabled and queer woman, 3 categories that are now under attack, this makes me very angry. I’ll just say [removed].

[–] Tuxman@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

But, just hear me out.. have you tried, like, NOT being a woman?

“You mean trans?”

…Fuck…!

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

No, but I’ve definitely tried not being disabled.

It’s almost like you don’t just choose to be these things. Like, if I could be an able-bodied cishet christian man, I wouldn’t have these problems. My fault for not male-ing hard enough.

e: Wait, hold on….

ヾ( ˃ᴗ˂ )◞ • *✰

Nope, still no penis. I’ll give it another go tomorrow.

Blame the cops. At this rate working these jobs you gotta know you're scum. They forfeit their value

Again? They keep having to show up and get dragged out whenever Republicans threaten their health care.

Governments hate the disabled. I'm surprised they didn't just shove them down the stairs and say they fell.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

the nazis loved to do that, they referred them as invalids or mentally feeble.

[–] jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Did we get names of the individuals committing the crimes? They are under strict orders not to obey illegal orders, no matter how crazy shit gets, and no matter how desperately sarcastic and despairing lemmy comments get.
