Now it’s not just permabans for talking about committing violence against Nazis.
The excuse the admins have is “You aren’t allowed to advocate violence against another human being, Nazi or otherwise”
Idk I’m not sure if Nazis are human, I think they’re below that
I don’t think that’s true - I comment on posts all the time on Reddit about Luigi. Or used to, anyway
Now, when Reddit started running adds for border patrol and ICE, that’s when the clickthroughs stopped happening.
Complete and utter horseshit. There’s several subreddits in his name that are dedicated to discussing his innocence and demanding his freedom.
Stop manufacturing outrage.
Ive never wanted someone to be found innocent more than him
Jfc…
STOP GOING TO REDDIT!
it’s been 2+ years since they proved they don’t give a flying fuck about it’s users. If you are getting banned now, you’re only complaining because it now affects you.
it took me getting banned to go look for alternative platforms.
I check Reddit every now and then and fuck it’s gotten so much worse. I recommend anyone to leave Reddit.
there a cost to leaving a platform you’ve been in for a long time. had contacts I miss and cant reach to them because I was banned. also, it does take time to find niche communities you love.
on top of that it’s a bit of a boiling frog alive situation, it gets enshitified so gradually that if you survive dealing with it until now, then you can tolerate it a bit more.
I check Reddit every now and then and fuck it’s gotten so much worse.
Mostly it’s the very popular and controversial subreddits that are highly likely to have roving bots for which to drop instabans, mainly on anyone discussing even remotely committing violence on right-wing characters.
Also FU SPEZ.
I came clean of Reddit last week. It took a couple of tries, since it’s like an addiction. But here I am. Also, I weren’t banned from Reddit.
Trust me, I’m done with reddit. I would’ve left even if they didn’t ban me. In fact, right before the banhammer fell, I deleted my 1.6 million karma account because I’ve started looking for jobs, and I don’t want any potential employers to know I’m a social media junkie who’s obsessed with trolling and making weird shitposts.
So the actual story of what is going on lately is more or less that the
KeystoneAltoona PD that arrested him at the McDonalds?Yeah, they’re looking like they illegally searched through his backpack without a search warrant, and thus… well, all of that may no longer be admissable as evidence.
… Oops.
I’m not saying Luigi like, has this in the bag, he’s gonna walk, no, nothing like that…
… But if just… the most incriminating physical evidence of the case … is dismissed?
Prosecution is gonna have a lot harder of a time getting a conviction, than with that evidence in play.
reddit is for bots and dipshits
I feel guilty for almost making an account there. I decided against it. Most threads are just godawful for worthwhile discussion too and seem to mostly be the same jokes or memes being recycled over and over
I can’t spell today oops
there should be laws about bots pretending to be users. every social media should have a clear indication a user is a bot.
High fines for the platform as well as whoever controls that account.
I hate that there are some semantic parallels, but social networks need to be clanker segregated.
is there a use for bots in social media? yhea, many bots are beloved in discord or Reddit (pre LLMs)? they are fine as long as they aren’t pretending to be people.
as well as whoever controls that account.
Who would want to use a website where you need to dox yourself for the possibility of high fines? Even if you’re not using bots, that’s a huge risk in multiple ways.
didn’t think about how to differentiate between people and bots besides pinky promises, captcha is useless now.
there has to be a way.
although dox based social media could do that easily (I mean stuff like Facebook where the expectation is that users use their real name).
Even assuming it’s technically feasible, who would willingly accept that risk? If you get hacked by an AI user, you face charges. If the server with your dox gets hacked, your dox are now public. If they mistakenly identify you as using AI, then you’ve got to fight it in court.
It’s very similar conceptually to chat control.
They can’t ban me, I already deleted my Reddit account. Also, Mangione is innocent.
You actually believe they planted evidence on him?
They either fumbled his arrest astronomically for no reason or they did plant evidence on him. Given the fact that he doesn’t even look like the guy from the cctv footage my money is on the latter.
I believe the police violated his 4th Amendment rights by unlawfully searching his bag and I believe the police did not have probable cause to justify his arrest. He was also not read his miranda rights in a timely manner.
I think it’s hilarious they chose to pin the death of a leech on this extremely good looking guy. They really should have picked someone people weren’t going to like.
Maybe because the investigation naturally led them to Mangione, and everyone claiming he’s been framed are wrong.
Sometimes there’s no conspiracy.
How do you take what I said as literal?
I’m just thinking what a shame it’s been for Luigi. He’s been locked up for a year and hasn’t even seen a jury. What if this man is actually innocent and the police hold him for 2 more years without a trial. Can he get reimbursement for the incredible fuck up of imprisoning an innocent man?
Worse than locked up. They keep him in solitary isolation.
Who is Luigi, Alex?
Stupid rules like this one are fun to try and bypass. I wonder if it’s automated and if it could be bypassed by writing Luigi’s name in Japanese, which is ルイージ and is pronounced as Ruīji
there are all sorts of ways to bypass it. one way is to use numbers and special characters instead of letters (so luigi is spelled |_ |_| 1 6 1)
That’s one side of the story, anyway.
BTW, I was banned for jumping on this wagon, too.
Luigi is banneable on Reddit??? it is getting worse.
Things rarely get better.
i didn’t expect it to get that bad that quickly.
