I was banned from Reddit for saying I enjoyed the parts of red dead redemption 2 where you had to kill slave owners and kkk members. Literally said I enjoyed a mainstream video game and the main quest. Inciting violence against polygons in an imaginary world that took place 150 years ago.

Imagine saying you enjoyed playing Wolfenstein.

14 year account. RIP.

Hard to moderate. Brings influencers and bots. Doesn’t contribute anything that can’t be easily found elsewhere.

I’m happy to be reading about this on a 3rd party app for a growing redddit alternative. Feels right.

I think deleting the sub is the right call simply because it’s trying to replace a community that did enough in the past to deserve a ban on any platform.

Tired of all the calls for defederation though.

They were known for exterminating socialists. They outlawed socialism. And the first camps that they were famous(eg Dacua) for were originally made to deal with socialists.

Shortly after the Nazi rise to power and the Reichstag Fire, they arrested thousands of their opponents. The scale of these arrests led to the creation of early concentration camps to hold the prisoners.

The early concentration camps primarily held political prisoners as the Nazis sought to remove opposition, such as socialists and communists, and consolidate their power.

Here’s an article form 1933:

They teach this stuff in public elementary schools. Did you not go to school?

Bigotry should be banned, and removed from this instance. That means not allowing bigotry on our instance. That means defederating from less clever wannabe 4chans, and less moderated The_D replacements.

They can enjoy their shithole federation.

The ama convinced me they kill old.Reddit as soon as they get the sense that this has ‘blown over.’ By October for sure. ::: spoiler spoiler

I agree with your sentiment. But I’m usually more suspicious of the invading force trying to annex huge regions of a sovereign country. The US, Russia, China are all imperialist in their own way. Russia is the invading force. And none of this would be happening if Russia was not there.

Hopefully neither, and they’ll arrest the organizers/pimps/etc.

sex workers and clients should be the lowest priority.

No. And that’s fine. I don’t expect underground music to replace top 40. And there’s a place for both.

So much contradictory information coming out of Russia’s government. They can’t find the least embarrassing story to put out. Because there’s nothing that’s not devastatingly humiliating.

Either way I don’t see how Wagner can continue to exist as it was, and Russia forces without Wagner have proven to be incompetent.

Regarding the failure of the coup, while exciting to watch, the fallout could have been much worse than the current situation in terms of global stability and Ukraine. Wagner and bunch of factions competing for nuclear arms, or increased commitment to the Ukraine war would have been a very possible outcome. It’s clear that western governments are breathing a sigh of relief.

Comparing brutal invaders to storybook villains isn’t racist. Unless someone is talking about civilians and not just military forces I don’t see how it’s racist.

I actually pre ordered this. That was like 4 years ago? Cancelled when I realized the company building my 100k car was lead by a man baby troll.

In 2022 every single politically motivated mass murder / terror attack was done by a right winger.

Thirsty comments. Puns. Meta humor. Dog language like “fren.” People who use the word “stonk.”

Funny tinfoil Conspiracy time:

I’ve been posting about Reddit blackouts and lemmy a bit lately.

Coincidentally:

I had a 15 year account suspended yesterday. Never an issue. I mentioned in a thread about red dead 2 that it was fun killing slave owning confederates. In video game. Banned for inciting violence.

I’m done. I don’t know where I’ll end up. Maybe here. Maybe just less social media in general. But Reddit is dead to me.
