Stop fucking going to Reddit!!

There is nothing for you there except bots and dead accounts.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

Honestly there are one or two communities I was helping keeping alive so they don’t go to Twitter, but it seems that’s happened to one and the other is… not worth it anymore.

The real boring dystopia is the ~~friends~~ warnings and bans we accumulated along the way

Digest the decadent

They could lean into sarcasm:“don’t forget to tip your landlord”. Or just Koalang it, coming up with an ever-shifting system of allegorical codewords (“green Mario” could probably last for a week or so before the river crabs catch on).

“don’t forget to tip your landlord”.

Guaranteed some people will take that seriously.

  1. This still broadly prevents any slogan from reaching critical mass
  2. Eventually, most people are going to be afraid to even try. Self-censorship is actually worse than actual censorship, because it's insidious and invisible.

Would ‘eat the poor’ get removed?

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 26 points 3 months ago

Defund the police - Banned

Defund DoE, Medicaid, and Social Security - Reddit gold

[–] nectar45@lemmy.zip 18 points 3 months ago

No, it wouldnt.

[–] MunkysUnkEnz0@lemmy.world 27 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Banning for upvotes is the most ludicrous way to censor a forum ever.

It lowers engagement. It makes people not want to upvote.

Let's start a new t protest, downvote everything.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 13 points 3 months ago

now they are also targeting the word luigi, which is more ridiculous

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

_ a _ the Rich

What? I'm clearly saying Tax the Rich.

Regardless, fuck that website.

[–] NONE_dc@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

Consume the most upper-class?

Nibble upon hoarders of resources

Welp, I guess you can't mention Aerosmith - Eat the Rich anymore..

Fuck Spez

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Very much intentional, as with any song advocating for "violence"

[–] locolangosta@lemm.ee 17 points 3 months ago

Hey, at least my ban brought me over here. Their blatant attempts to quell desent shows alot. Shoulda got out when they started putting ads in the comments, but watching them protect billionaires from criticism, more than they do minorities from racism is eye opening.

Feast on financially-stable?

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

Let’s not mince words, let’s mince the wealthy instead - quicker, and much more nutritious

[–] blarth@thelemmy.club 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

lol @ Reddit killing itself

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 14 points 3 months ago

Wow that’s incredibly weak holy shit

[–] CastorSulMush@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Feast on the opulent!

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 months ago

For profit social media platforms are npt your friend.

As with for-profit newspapers and news agencies, they are biased more towards the ownership classn than the proletariat. They might present left-wing stories and positions, but never enough that it threatens their property and profit gains.

The same with politicians who have to raise money to campaign. Even liberals cannot ever push for policy that serves the public but not the ownership interests.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The mods there always sucked, it’s why I built up r/boringdystopia instead.

Has anyone tried commenting "Eat the poor“?

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Fuck reddit

[–] PattyMcB@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Using your account? Permabanned for trying to circumvent a ban. Yeah... fuck reddit
