Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
I still use Reddit probably too much, but I still plan on upvoting anything Luigi related lol. If that gets my account banned then official goodbyes to reddit.
Reddit is also banning and warning people for UPVOTING "violent" comments (or what they now consider violent and somehow right wing subs don't get the same censorship applied; or we'd see them bitch about it). It's now a dystopia.
"conservative" subs are shill ops... just go through the comments, any reasonable right wing questions get removed and only retarded fame bait is allowed to be posted.

Just signed up here. I had my account flagged for upvoting on Reddit. Needless to say I was POed but so far I'm liking it here
How did you find Lemmy, out of curiosity? Seems like there aren’t a lot of Reddit recs for it yet.

This happened to me for posting "Italian Plumbers Unite!" I got a PERMANENT BAN! I appealed and they denied it.
What are they afraid of?
Advertisers, stock prices, inverstors and other stuff like that. As in "losing money".
Made my first Lemmy account after this bullshit! Took a split second to figure out, but Lemmy seems super rad so far!

I went straight to a perma commenting on what was going to happen with those inmates being moved despite the judge blocking it. It's not a huge loss since that is the second account perma'd in the last 30 days. And I've been using revanced Reddit so no ads. But they've become pretty insane about what is "hate, or violence"
The fact that "luigi'd" as a verb has become pretty common slang very quickly, it's not crazy to associate it with violence.
Now we get to the actual matter. Several years ago saying "Someone should shoot that CEO" (which would be the same statement as something like "Hoping that CEO gets luigi'd") would not have gotten you banned. Wishing death upon someone is not the same as actual threats of violence.
Wishing death upon someone is not the same as actual threats of violence.
That was how internet operated generally... until now...

This is what brought me here. Reddit is out, Luigi is IN
LUIGI LUIGI LUIGI
So I had an account under a similar name to this one, but it got perma-banned a few months back. Not even Luigi related. Remember when that Nazi incel Nick Fuentes got doxxed? I made a comment that basically said "he should be happy now that women know where he lives so they can come share a cocktail with him", with a gif of a Molotov cocktail. I thought it was pretty funny. Banned for glorifying/promoting violence. Against a Nazi.
More recently, my other account got perma-banned from r/insanepeoplefacebook for "hate speech" because of this comment:
So yeah. Fuck Reddit. Fuck Spez. Free Luigi.
It's a funny meme, rooted in reality for some communities, due to their conservatism or beliefs.
You can't even be a centrist on Reddit anymore and point stuff out about left and right policies and attitudes. You can be a full on Nazi or full on Communist, though. It's quite tragic.
I'm not even a centrist. I'm a full blown Leftist. It's just a historical fact that religious assholes have spent the last thousands or so years going around the world trying to make everyone as miserable as them. I wasn't even talking about the average religious person. There are plenty of Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, and Buddhists who don't go around trying to make everyone live the same as them. I was specifically talking about the whacko zealots, and I thought that was pretty clear in my comment. Apparently, talking about crazy religious people is a no-no on... [checks notes]... INSANE PEOPLE FACEBOOK.

Just commenting to say I deleted Reddit yesterday in favor of Lemmy! Happy to be here 🥰 #freeluigi
Woot! I was banned but I still stand with you
Reddit sucks because of the moderation, yet the current zeitgeist continues to be that this extra moderation is some wondrous, beautiful thing that improves everything it touches, and new platforms need more of it. Fuck that & fuck Reddit.
I have the opposite impression of the over-moderarion. Most Redditors seem to be annoyed by it, and against how it's stifling conversations

Luigi's Mansion 1 is one of my all time favourite games on Gamecube. Probably a controversial opinion but I feel like the sequels don't come anywhere near as close as the original.
Back on topic, what if someone in an Italian subreddit mentions another person named Luigi? There are many famous and infamous people with the first name.
(L)Fun fact, (U)auto mod can't detect hidden(I) messages (G)very well. Even poorly(I) hidden ones.
If you say his name 3x in front of mirror, they say he appears behind you.
You wish.
Don't lie, we both do. :(
