News and Discussions about Reddit

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:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

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



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

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.

Post had nothing to do with murder or violence. It is clear who reddit serves.

What other murderers are your heroes folks?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh, did he actually do it?

Because last I checked, he's a suspect and there's no guilty verdict.

So if anything, this is just a innocent until proven guilty guy.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Then why are you all making him a hero if he didn't do anything?

Clear Channel, but they changed their name. I think they're IHeartMedia now?

I literally rage quit reddit over this. Hence why am on Lemmy now. Hopefully we can draw more users from Reddit over here. Esp with the boycott of all things US.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

you would probably banned eventually anyways, since luigi is enough to have you banned. i was banned a few weeks before this for some other stupid reason. apparently people were getting banned anyway after temp ban is lifted.

We’re allowed to discuss all forms of revolution, so long as they are ineffective.

So if you want to know how to stage a successful revolution, consider what you’re not allowed to say as the starting point. And take a look at how the CIA overthrows governments- it ain’t peaceful.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (3 children)

The number of peaceful revolutions we can unfortunately count on one hand. We can strive for to -but we have to be realistic

However there also has to be a plan. Simply overthrowing the existing rule allows chaos & someone worse to assume power

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not only that, but without a plan you won't even be able to get close to overthrowing any half-competent regime.

The old rule has already been overthrown. By Trump, far right white Christian nationalists, and silicon valley. Unfortunately, it's being replaced with something way worse.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

I am not sure I agree that the old rule was replaced. Before, the oligarchs ruled from the shadows by controlling political campaign finances and lobbyists. But now, the oligarchs are so powerful they are ruling directly. The country is still heading in the same direction (relentless growth of power disparity between the rich and power) just at a quicker pace.

FDR was the last US president that fought for the working class. Every President since Reagan has overseen policies that have weakened the working class and transfered power to the rich. Republicans were far more aggressive about it, but liberals still did it at a slower rate.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

yea, like what is currently happening is a "non-violent" coup. They used anger, mass disinformation and propaganda.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Still non violent. As fucked as it is, there has been very little violence. Maybe some crazies at protests. Compare that to other revolutions it's almost nothing.

‘We can’t overthrow Hitler, because someone worse could come in to take his place.’

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's not what they said though

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No, they just said there needs to be a plan. It's not the same logic at all.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (11 children)

Ok. I guess evil can be permitted to run rampant while we work out a plan.

This reminded me that I'm still watching some subs through still existing mirrors like undelete so I don't give reddit views, and I noticed that a big 21k upvoted post on subredditdrama about /r/conservative starting to panic over whether trump even knows what he's doing was deleted. ~~All I can imagine for why it was deleted was intervention because of this rule, I couldn't find a mod post on it, it might have been admin intervention.~~ EDIT: There was a mod post, that it was going to stay up, but then another mod who posts in dogwhistle subs and has a tendency of removing posts from /r/conservative did. It WAS mods this time, but it's still bad actors pushing a certain outcome.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Honestly: leave Reddit to the bots.

Anyone who is still there after all the bullshit, well, I would argue that either they're oblivious, or some kind of bootlicker, either way, we are probably better off without them.

On an unrelated note, I hope Luigi gets Justice. I mean, he won't, but.... I can hope.

The just outcome for Luigi is to acquit him. He acted in the best interest of the people. He was protecting and serving the people. He's a better enforcement officer than any LEO I've ever met.

Best of all, he wasn't tasked with doing it. Nobody asked him to, nor did anyone pay him for his efforts. He's a hero of the people. IMO, his actions, while extreme, are on par with someone who saves a person from a burning car, or picks up a victim and drives them to the hospital so they can get to the care they need more quickly. Luigi just did it on a much broader scale. Here's this guy that's preventing people from getting to the care they need. He's like a bouncer for a hospital. So when an injured patent rolls up and the bouncer says "no" to providing care, it's reasonable to remove that bouncer by any means necessary to save the people that he's blocking from getting the care they need.

Yes, he used methods that are unconventional. Yes, he probably shouldn't have. The outcome is the same. He moved the needle towards good.

While I can sympathize with those that lost their father/brother/husband/son/etc. I can't sympathize with the man that was removed from blocking critical care to those who needed it, paid for it, and wanted it.

Anyone in charge at any US insurance company: they're is blood on your hands. Do the right thing, or Luigi won't be the last martyr to go down for the good of the people.
