I went and dusted off my reddit account to see how quickly I could get banned. Of course, all the comments I made were in /r/conservative so I'm assuming I'm getting a subreddit ban the second any of their mods wake up.

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 18 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I liked that reddit. What a fucking pussy cunt. He claimed they broke the law when they didn't. All they were doing was exposing his illegal shit and criminal underlings, who should all be facing at least 20 years in prison for the stuff they are doing now.

[–] luckyeddy@lemm.ee 1 points 39 minutes ago

“Pussy cunt” sounds pretty Aussie to me, mate

What a snowflake.

With all those right-wingers being whimsical snowflakes, we can wait for summer or we can create the fire to melt them.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 51 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

"They broke the law," tweeted the motherfucker who never respected it in the first place...

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 5 points 2 hours ago

Laws and rules to these people are not meant to be obeyed by them in any shape or form. They are meant to protect them and bind others.

I don't think anything wrong with doing research

But posting should be on fedi only. We seeding the future of the internet here.

[–] Tilgare@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Just block ads while you're there so you're a drain on their resources and not lining their pockets further.

[–] donuts@lemmy.world 79 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (11 children)

I'm sorry but inciting violence gets any instance nuked, broligarch or federated.

Just read this:

Some of the screenshots say: "Muskrat’s DOGE Henchmen have been identified," "It's time to do more than dragging names, let's drag their necks up by a large coil of rope," "Time to hunt," "I’ll say it. This nazi stooge needs to be shot," and other comments sharing a similar sentiment.

Now of course we can gloat that Reddit is bending the knee, but if a Lemmy instance was big enough to attract the same attention, exactly the same thing would have happened. No instance owner wants their whole instance get nuked by feds because the users of the instance are inciting violence.

[–] HonorableScythe@lemm.ee 18 points 10 hours ago

The mod of a sub I watch confirmed earlier that Reddit is threatening moderators who don’t comply with removing the names of Elon’s goons from their subs, claiming that spreading those names is doxxing.

Those names, by the way, are Gavin Kliger, Ethan Shaotran, Akash Bobba, Luke Farritor, and Edward Coristine.

But nice scapegoat you got there.

[–] tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone 88 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

Shit like that was frequently posted on the_donald back in the day, except targeting minorities, and the admins were fine with it

[–] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 hour ago

Because your reports doesn't matter. They don't have any morals to begin with and will only comply for legal threats.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 8 points 19 hours ago

Bootlickers don't worry about your stupid minorities or women haha

Politics 101 really...

But presumably adutl men get all bent out of shape when their daddy feelz threatened by the mob 🐸

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world -3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Tbf a lot of people wanted to nuke the sub, and I would bet a lot of those were fake accounts to force Reddit to ban it. The actual users would’ve been inclined to behave and keep their space.

[–] 9bananas@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

"a lot of people wanted to" doesn't matter on a corpo platform.

but if a greedy little pig-boy wants something gone, THAT matters.

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Bullshit.

I saw the screenshots. The upvotes didn't even break 2 digits. At most, the comments would get removed and the users banned. Saying it makes sense for the entire sub to be taken down for the dozen or so idiots is, undeniably, bullshit.

The same types of comments have been made on lemmy. The instances did not get taken down or any legal action. Suggesting otherwise is nonsense.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 11 hours ago

Yes, Muskrat used the power of the state to enforce laws arbitrarily and for his own benefit.

Weird how that keep happening in states.

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 51 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

I mean, I would agree if reddit wasn't filled with hateful and violent content but it is. Last week, I reported a popular post joking about raping two women who OD, just to get told to shut up by the mods. So the fact that this loser got the entire community banned just shows the type of justice you can expect from social medias controlled by tech-bros. EDIT: Also, the only good nazi is a very dead nazi.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 19 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

You have too many p's. Rapping is ok.

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 9 points 19 hours ago

Lol, fixed. English is not my first langage and the corrector was fine those rapping women.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 9 points 20 hours ago

And two women rapping could be Salt N Peppa!

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 17 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I mean. he's a non elected foreigner who's overstayed his visa and has no security clearance, and he's stealing access to the most sensitive systems our country has. It's absolutely time to hunt. Anyone have links to screenshots showing the identities of Musks henchmen?

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 2 points 20 hours ago

Redidt cleared them... I am sure the other sources.

Its a bunch of young adult men, the type you would expect. Class traitors

[–] 3dmvr@lemm.ee 14 points 21 hours ago

very little is considered inciting violence on reddit, I had a comment get removed for that once it was "I dont like h1b visas, it makes it harder for americans to get jobs when hella ppl are already struggling to find jobs with degrees rnow" they removed that for inciting violence than temp banned me for a week for appealing it

[–] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 8 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I’m putting the tinfoil hat on here, but wouldn’t it be rather easy to have some users go and post stuff like that in the subreddit? How many upvotes did those comments get?

At least on Lemmy, the votes are public, so manipulation can be discovered.

Also, if those posts were talking about Hamas, Hezbollah or maybe Russia, would that also have shut down the subreddit?

Sure, but why whitepeopletwitter of all places? If they're trying to disrupt dissent surely there are more effective places to put their energy

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 13 hours ago

Not that I think this is what happened, but I think the answer is actually really straightforward - how quickly will reddit bend the knee? Let's find out.

Thats all it would take is a random thought to get there.

Again, not what I think happened. Enough people elsewhere saying the same things that its bound to get commented in a reddit thread as well.

I do, however, think Musk pushed for the entire sub to get banned, or spez did it proactively as a show of support (with a hope to bury his nose in Musk crack).

[–] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz -1 points 11 hours ago

Based comments. How come Lemmy doesn't have content like that?

[–] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

And no instance owner wants to be considered an accessory to a crime planned in their space

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Bootlicker.... These rules are extra sensitive when the rich are a target... I wonder why

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 3 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (1 children)

You sound like such a tool when calling people that mostly agree with you "bootlicker". That term now is like a neon sign that says, "nothing I say has any basis in reality, and if you disagree with me I will cry and block you."

If you don't agree with someone, you can still present an argument without calling them names like a child. Your misinformed comrades are still your comrades (even though this guy is 100% correct).

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org -3 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Cope

Calling out class traitors is an important part of rising class consciousness

If people disagree with me they can down vote me.

I expressed my opinion dear, that's how the internet works.

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

What I'm saying is, not everyone that says anything slightly critical of what you think is a "class traitor". You aren't calling out opposition, you're ostracizing people who want to see the same thing you do.

I also expressed my opinion. My opinion is that if you want to see any progress, it's best to not be a twat to others for no reason. And that "bootlicker" is not a term for genuine people that want to see that progress.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org -2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

The opinion posted was justifying reddit behaviour while ignoring the fact that this behaviour really only happens when the oligarchy gets butthurt.

We all know the "legallity" and I was on that sub yesterday and the comments were hardly illegal with few exceptions most of it was just piling on bad sentiment against President Musk.

So I read OP as bad faith actor and provided my opinion on his behaviour, I could be wrong but it seems there is no shortage of clowns trying to to tell everyone to be "reasonable"

You can't be reasonable when it is a class war. That's the whole point of the war, it is unreasonable.

Bootlickers Plead Reasonable when they got non defensible position.

Remember that regime and their lap dogs will never give you benefit of the doubt

With that being said I could be completely off about OP...

He can correct me, community can make the judgement.

I have zero problems being wrong.

I aint here to be "right", just raising awareness about the parasite class and bootlickers.

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

So you self-admittedly call people "bootlicker" as a reactionary statement, with zero regards to whether or not you could be spitting in the face of someone who is on your side.

That's uh.. one way to get people on our side.

You don't have to be here to be "right", but you're not "raising awareness about the parasite class" by calling everyone under the sun a bootlicker because your 2 second assessment tells you that they're a Reddit apologist. You aren't helping by insulting anyone who dares speak against the consensus. You're solidifying the stereotype of the "intolerable left". You're pushing away people who might be slightly misguided but otherwise receptive of education. You're pushing moderates to the right.

In other words, go off about your opinion, but don't kid yourself into thinking that this behavior is productive.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org -2 points 16 hours ago

That's a misrepresentation of what I stated above.

[–] troed@fedia.io -1 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I reported a comment along those lines here on Lemmy/Mbin earlier today. They have no place here either.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 1 points 20 hours ago

But has anybody thought about the rich people 🤡

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 56 points 20 hours ago

Reddit gets a little smaller

(Yes, I know how serious this is. But by all means, accelerate the downfall of Reddit.)

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 51 points 21 hours ago

Luigi situation already educated us on this pattern of behavior...

The rich are sensitive about our opinions. We need to give them more opinion then. That's part of the information war they wage against us.

Parasites should feel uncomfortable

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 14 points 18 hours ago

”They broke the law.” Put me on the jury, and I’ll disagree.

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Don't they know that inciting and glorifying violence towards the 1% is cool and good?

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 2 points 19 hours ago

I think they do hence why they sent in the Gestapo
