I always thought Lemmy (at least this instance) had stricter rules than Reddit. Seeing a comment here that outright wishes for billionaires to be culled is a huge culture shock.
It would do absolutely nothing at all. For every billionaire that is running some seedy enterprise that you don’t like, there are dozens if not hundreds of well paid people that are supporting that enterprise and would keep it going going forever.
I would gladly own one, I would also gladly pivot it towards not causing climate change.
Only problem is owning one in the first place; most are “publicly owned” by a bunch of investors who themselves are investment funds owned by some other bunch of investors like those putting their money in 401k plans.
It’s a nice tangle of cross-ownerships that ends up hurting the actual owners without them having any power to change anything.

If you were on reddit: “You have been permanently suspended for threatening to use violence.”
I’d always just drop a link. Got the message across, but never got me banned:

Because we aren’t worried about offending advertisers. This is what real people think without being forced to be advertiser friendly.
Unfortunately, now the comment just says Removed
The comment itself is still there, just hidden. You can see it in the modlog, page source, or some apps.
Start at the top and keep going down the list until emissions fall far enough.

Send them all to a for-profit prison I say!
Yeah, the vast majority of human kind would gladly own a multi billion dollar company even if that company were causing climate change.

In case anyone wants to see what the comment that was censored was: https://lemm.ee/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModRemoveComment&userId=544429
Doesn’t seem to break the rules to me. The OP was simply stating what they would do, not advocating it

pretty stupid reason to remove the comment.
