Luigi is a hero.
See how easy that is when you aren’t given the table scraps of the rich?

You are now banned from .world for inciting violence.
Telorand@reddthat.com 2 months ago
Dunno why. I’m just talking about the guy who fights ghouls who live in mansions.
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 months ago
That hasn’t happened in a long time.

Fucking scare shit. Now, it is simply “liking” content Reddit doesn’t like. Soon, it will be upvoting things that the government doesn’t want you to see, or paints them in a bad light.
MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 2 months ago
paints them in a bad light.
So, like… facts?
ryan_e3p@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Just like facts.

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.
Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
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 will make up for it? Lolol
pinheadednightmare@lemm.ee 2 months ago
It’s becoming Facebook. A cesspool of people just reverberating off of each other.
Bzdalderon@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
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.
TheImpressiveX@lemm.ee 2 months ago
So, are subs like /r/Mario and /r/Nintendo going to be banned for “encouraging violence”?
dexa_scantron@lemmy.world 2 months ago
No, the mods will just get constant streams of false positive flags they have to clear.

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

Upgrayedd1776@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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
InputZero@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
Upgrayedd1776@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
Clbull@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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…
bpudding@lemmy.one 2 months ago
You now also get penalized for even upvoting content they find objectionable. (for example, comments containing the name Luigi)
CallateCoyote@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah, I was banned for talking about suicidal thoughts, so they’re definitely going to ban me if I say Luigi Mangione is my hero and did a beautiful thing.
pinheadednightmare@lemm.ee 2 months ago
The fact that I can read this comment, makes this site a million times better.
ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 2 months ago
Are you in a better place now?
CallateCoyote@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Yeah, thank you. My post was really just a “if things get bad enough, I can always blow my brains out which gives me a strange sense of comfort” sort of thing and it was flagged as threats of violence… against myself I guess? Silly. I will of course do my best to not let things get to that point and try to look for the positives in life.
nicky7@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
Allegedly.
gt5@lemm.ee 2 months ago
That’s wild. I joined Reddit when everyone left digg, so 2008ish. There used to be a sub called /r/suicidewatch where you could post those kinds of thoughts safely. There can obviously be some issues with that but what a change
jamie_oliver@lemmy.world 2 months ago
So you think they will get sued by Nintendo?

Intergalactic@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
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.
freely1333@reddthat.com 2 months ago
Luigi didn’t shoot a ceo.

Democrats aren’t perfect but we’d be in 92% better shape with one in the Whitehouse right now.
Intergalactic@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.

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.

This is the time for Nintendo to whip out a lawsuit
neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
I was going to say, “For what?” But then I remember that Nintendo just blasts lawsuits at anyone who remotely mentions something related to one of their IPs.
I’m surprised they haven’t sued Italy over their name since that is where Mario is from.
WhiteBurrito@lemmy.world 2 months ago
They recently sued a tiny convenience store in Costa Rica because it was called “Super Mario”, because in Costa Rica, any moderately large store is a “Super”, and the owner happened to be named “Mario” so… You can figure it out.
Anyways, Nintendo lost that lawsuit

Erick@endlesstalk.org 2 months ago
A Reddit tool for moderation is mistakenly marking “Luigi” as violent content. Users noticed this and found it funny. It seems like an error in the system, not something done on purpose. Reddit might need to fix the tool to stop these mistakes.
BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The guy stomps on innocent, unsuspecting little turtles and occasionally burns them alive. Of course it should be flagged.

This isn’t a “source”. This is a corporate spokesperson

ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Actually, yeah. Otherwise, you fuck up whistleblowing. They could be in the position, realize what’s happening is wrong, be documenting it, trying to get out, etc…
angleangel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Are you seriously suggesting there is no way to grant whistleblowers anonymity without granting it to corporate spokespeople providing statements on behalf of the company? You’re a fucking idiot
