Double standards

Edit: my mistake, it's not visible on the screenshot, but the "i hope you get shot" didn't get removed for promoting violence, there is no mod reply to it.

Lots of reddit communities are fascist communities

They're a more marketable demographic.

How can anyone be so lacking in self awareness?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 65 points 1 week ago

It gets easier to understand once you accept that some people just operate on bad faith.

This is reddit mods in a nutshell

Similar story to how I ended up IP banned.

Story about a politician advocating for killings and kangaroo court imprisonments> i make a comment saying "yeah this guy is gonna end up dead if he tries this" > banned for threats of violence. .. appeal, arguing that it wasn't a threat. Just an acknowledgment of political volatility.. suggested mods were politically biased for seeing it that way. > appeal rejected and permabanned

edit - I understand reddit mods dont issue IP bans, but I was hit for ban evasion after abandoning a cooked account that they refused to let me appeal. the ban evasion rule is a "gotcha" to make people , any and all . to go away. I only say that this time it was an IP ban because I had been perma'd before, only to immediately move to a new account I already had made (and on the same device no less).

my guess was algorithms improved /s

Yeah, Reddit moderation is... Fucky wucky. But this is also a general problem in American society. It's perfectly okay to kill people for profit, but if you break a window you're the bad guy doing a violence. (It may be present in others as well, I just don't know)

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 20 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Police violence is a okay. Rioting and causing property damage that’s bad.

Can any lawyers answer this:

If the person driving that vehicle did end up running someone over, and had that sign in the window, would they get an elevated charge?

To me, that sort of thing is like premeditation, and it would be extremely hard for me to believe that an “accident” led to them killing someone with their vehicle.

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

Not a lawyer, but I think stuff like this is a minefield. The defense would try to get it thrown out as prejudicial and without the suspect testifying all they could do is show a picture to an officer of it who affirms that he saw it on the car and enter it into evidence, but they could only indirectly talk about it in opening and closing because nobody can personally testify about the motivations behind the sticker.

There should be a community of "just reddit things" like this

The "logic" goes like this: (sarcasm)

It's ok to burn down the planet for profit. It's ok to destroy the ecosystem on which we all depend for food, clean water. It's ok to make bombs and sell them to those dropping them on hospitals and children. It's ok to pollute the air with deadly particles no one can avoid.

But you just CANNOT... you just CANNOT be in a way of someone carrying a few tons of steel of a metal cage through a city. That's not something that we as a society will accept

If I saw this, I would shatter it.. in Minecraft only, of course.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 20 points 1 week ago

Fucking Reddit mods. I got perma banned for saying I wished that MTG would trip and swallow her own head.
