So you think they will get sued by Nintendo?
Came to the comments to find this question lol
Does it flag “Notmario”?
Reddit is rich too though
Spez is a loser with only millions, compared to his billionaire tech bros. This is the main reason he started ruining reddit in the past years, he is frustrated and wants to also become a billionaire like his buddies
Hmmm yeah, he’s “only” worth about $85M, so low/mid-upper class
In their minds, that’s literally it. They compare themselves to billionaires. Millionaires are just temporarily embarassed billionaires.
I was banned for warning people i would punch them if they upvoted violent content and to knock it off. If spez doesnt want my help then he can go back to his personally moderated kiddy porn subreddits
With doxxing being the threat it is, I kind of get why a mod wouldn’t be comfortable with that. The absolute last thing any mod acting in good faith wants is for someone to track down and hurt in real life a member of their community. Telling people you will punch them for upvoting violent content could be seen as the first step to doxxing someone. It’s a bit over sensitive but we’ve all heard true horror stories about people getting doxxed.
i guess if viewed from an overly protective POV and maybe in a sensitive subreddit in subject matter, but in the more generic subs that make it to Popular regularly, quality shit posting needs to be considered and applauded as being such. Like if it was a subreddit for survivors of being punched by redditors, i would not make such a comment, very poor taste.
Ever since Spez took over, Reddit have been incredibly heavy-handed when it comes to enforcing their rules against inciting or glorifying violence, even if such a comment is directed towards people that are objectively hated, like nazis, pedophiles and child murderers. To that I’m not even remotely surprised that you got banned.
Even posting that Nazis deserve to be punched in the face can get you a permanent ban from Reddit… You know… the people who over 80 years ago were responsible for gassing 6 million Jews, 6 million Russian POWs and thousands of homosexuals and political dissidents.
You now also get penalized for even upvoting content they find objectionable. (for example, comments containing the name Luigi)
We’re in the world of wrongthink now
I’m definitely getting more and more hesitant to exercise free speech, due to rapidly increasing government monitoring and corruption.
I’ve been ramping up my de-googling for this exact reason, I wish I had done it years ago but complacency is a bitch
In the same boat. It’s been very freeing
fucking bowser at it again.
Why stop there? If I where reddit and we go with these kinds of decisions, I’d propose the use of LLMs to ban anything that consititutes negative statement including disagreements.
Linguine
Get Brianthompson’d, Reddit.
The enshittification continues.
All because of greed.
I don’t think this is about greed… this about owners not liking how plebs feel about a dead CEO
Which is because of greed.
They already own pretty much anything but this point it is about power imho
They want to control how we speak about them in public.
Couldn’t agree more. And they want that control because of greed.
The guy stomps on innocent, unsuspecting little turtles and occasionally burns them alive. Of course it should be flagged.
And what’s with those legs on SMB2? He’s clearly on some kind of drugs.
People saying Luigi is a hero but then defend the Democrats. Truly astonishing. Luigi’s actions are a call to systemic revolution. He is a god damn hero, and will probably go down as a martyr if the federal government gets their way.
Democrats aren’t perfect but we’d be in 92% better shape with one in the Whitehouse right now.
We? Who is we? The working class would still be exploited. We’d just have a President who is “nicer” about it. We need a revolution, because reform is damn near impossible now.
He is not a hero, but he is the first crack in the floodgates. Whoever he is, he is a first sign of people losing temper. And his ongoing defence in court is a vehicle to make important problems relevant. Not everyone can stand behind shooting a CEO, but his act introduced the long-silenced topic that is a common ground with MAGA people too, and that’s why corpo fuckers want to put it down.
Luigi didn’t shoot a ceo.
Not everyone can, but most do
I’m actually so happy to see the start of the fall of Reddit. It’s been going on for a couple years or so, but it is happening.
It’s so ironic how a site with a leftist lean just chose to alienate their core base. I guess their hope conservatives and liberals staying will make up for it? Lol
Leftist lean is a bit of an understatement. It’s not just Reddit. In general, the radical left is being recognized for the violence and chaos they’ve spread over the last decade and the government is realizing they were left unchecked for too long.
Now they’re just being treated the same as the radical right.
I’d not be dismayed to see a bit of violence and chaos from the radical left but I’m struggling to think of examples - do you have some?
BLM, Pro-Palestine, George Floyd… three big ones that come to mind
ROFLMAO. This bloke. Fucking Americans.
I’m not even American
Coulda fooled me since you’re spouting conservative American propaganda.
Removed by mod
You are gonna have a hard time around this here social media, comrade, with these clown takes…
There are better places for bootlickers out there
Those just come off as regular left to me.
When I think of radical left I think tanky types who are full on nationalists and pro authoritarian governments that suppress free think that they are indistinguishable from the far right other than just differences when it comes to stuff like government assisted programs.
Okay, what violence did the pro-palestine movement spread, exactly?
I can accept that some buildings got torched and property values temporarily reduced during the George Floyd protests, but when I hear violence, I think harm against flesh and blood, which the police did much, much more of. I can’t think of many instances where the protestors did that.
We absolutely see lots of news about these violent communist uprisings. Definitely not something you’re imagining. Not at all.
Advocating for the death of all gay people is by no means the same scale of issue as the radical left.
This is unhinged. The so called “radical left” is largely a scapegoat for the people that currently run the government. The “radical left” isn’t going around shooting up synagogues and black churches. Even the one act of violence the “radical left” supports was committed by somebody who clearly was more of a “radical centrist”
Yeah man the radical left’s crazy violent agenda like… Free healthcare, and decent standards of living? No wait I mean the erosion of systems of inequality fuck wait no I mean uh labor rights and empowree workers wait shit no
I’m starting to think the radical let’s crazy agenda is actually far less violent than the status quo
Rights you probably take for granted were won by people blowing stuff up or attacking and even killing people.
Through war not chaos.
Can you elaborate please?
Well that was the most out to lunch comment I’ve read this week I think.
What violence and chaos has the radical left spread in the last decade, pray tell
As a centrist, I don’t see the radical left being courted by the president, so I think your comment is presenting a bit of a false equivalence, champ.
I’m a centrist too…
It’s crazy that a pendulum swings drastically back and forth isn’t it? Not a false equivalency if you have any understanding of historical geopolitics.
If you marginalize and de-platform an entire half of your voter base, and cancel people for taking a centrist stance, they’re more likely to band together against your cause, doing more harm long term than if you just toed a rational line.
IE. Because the right were treated the way the left are now being treated for so long, they were polarized and radicalized to the result of who your president is now.
Also, not American, this isn’t just an American thing. This is happening globally.
Can you name one person that got cancelled for taking a centrist stance?
Here is a great example of the “if you’re not with us you’re against us” mentality: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/may/28/centrism-insidious-bias-unjust-status-quo
Reasonable views being cancelled:
Bari Weiss: A former opinion editor and writer at The New York Times, Weiss is known for her centrist views, often critiquing both the far-left and far-right. In July 2020, she resigned from the newspaper, citing a hostile work environment and alleging that her centrist stances led to bullying by colleagues.
Example of extremes people will go to silence the moderates…
Stefan Gelbhaar: A member of Germany’s Green Party, Gelbhaar, associated with the party’s more centrist “Realo” wing, was forced to withdraw from the federal election race following false sexual harassment allegations. An investigation later revealed that the accusations came from a fictitious persona created by a local Green official, leading to internal tensions within the party.
As a German I’m very familiar with the Gelbhaar case actually and it doesn’t have the slightest thing to do with centrism. It actually ended with the person pushing the fake accusations having to leave the party, but you knew that already.
I’ll look into the others when I’m home later.
It’s becoming Facebook. A cesspool of people just reverberating off of each other.
At least on Facebook you practically always choose friends to add, groups to join, pages to follow, etc. A surprisingly large number of Reddit users just stick to the default subreddits.
IMO, Facebook is Only good for keeping track of your relatives you don’t feel like visiting.
Same. I know a few people on their I won’t or rarely see in person and I like to see what they’re up to in general life.
Luigi spez
It’s getting harder not to hate these people
