    Advocate for antivax bullshit that kills people? Sure! Encourage politicians to stop live-saving cancer research, gut the VA, and reduce safety standards that will have more people suffering? Cool beans!

        Assuming this is America, that guy requested for that to happen because it’s a less excruciating death than the other chair.

        But here’s why it’s still an issue: being shot should not be the most humane option we give someone lmfao

          There has been serious doubt that painkillers in lethal injection were enough to work. But the death penalty should be off the table since so many are wrongly convinced, unless the convicted requests it as the more humane option, because prison is currently retributive and cruel, rather than rehabilitative and humane.

      Apparently, writing an inspiring post about taking action and ways to protest was just too much for the delicate sensibilities of the internet overlords. I was banned for “inciting violence.”

      Who knew that encouraging people to stand up for what they believe in was such a radical concept?

      Why do you think we’re here?

      I think that depends largely on somebody’s “join” date. If they’re under 6 months old, they probably got banned/censored from Reddit. If they joined in the last 6-12 months, it’s probably because of Reddit’s AI policies. If they joined 12-18 months ago, it was probably due to the API changes shutting down third-party apps. If they’re older than that, then they’re probably just tankies.

        I get your point but I left reddit & joined the lemmyverse just a week ago, and did not get banned/censored.

        I just felt that a ton of small niggles both technical and content-/moderation-wise had accumulated towards a tipping point.

        I have used old.reddit for the longest time and there’s always been some glitches (…). There seem to be delays, and they’re getting longer. Whether this is just old.reddit or in general, I do not care.

        There are other indicators that reddit isn’t interested in keeping old.reddit working. It’s just a question of time.

        Then there’s bots, including wetware bots. Whether they’re just re-posting to farm karma or actively flooding certain topics with vile opinion or - after a noticeable delay that has nothing to do with timezones - tip the up/downvote balance in their favor: they are here, and it’s not getting better.

    My account got banned about 2 weeks ago for three days saying if you were were a republican you voted for a Nazi and fuck Nazi’s.

      Are you telling me the president’s closest advisor doing double nazi salutes to a cheering crowd and his other closest advisor doing a nazi salute to another cheering crowd isn’t just a coincidence? Next thing you’ll tell me is Musk likes the name X because he enjoys drawing the rest of the swastika.

        Sucks too. I found some really obscure advice on one thread that really saved me. I had an HTC vive and the sensor boxes weren’t working. Someone commented that the Razer Chroma program fucks it up for some reason so I got rid of it and it worked. Lots of useful info, about to be inaccessible to the masses.

          He likes the X because the ASCII code is 88, which is a number of note among neo-Nazis because it stands for HH, or Heil Hitler. I’m now convinced of this. The coincidence is too strong to overlook.

        then Luigi

        they getting worried about their psyops not working on these key issues.

        Plebs’ resentment is getting to strong that PR don’t work and this is making the parasite nervus.

    I got a 7 day ban for mentioning that someone managed to make Musk’s AI say Musk and Trump deserve the death penalty in a thread shitting on Musk’s AI. I tried to appeal the ban asking how mentioning this was “promoting violence” and I got permabanned with no explanations. Reddit has become a fucking cesspool.

      If Spez wasn’t taking the Trump Coin to do ideological warfare on his behalf, he’d either be out on his ass or six feet under like Aaron Swartz. Then you’d have another Millennial corporate shit to hate in his stead.

      At some point, you can’t hate the player, just the game.
