    It’s not against the TOS. You can advocate for violence against the poor and minorities all day on here. But advocating for them to defend themselves is apparently over the line.

      on here

      Do you think that all Lemmy is just your instance? What does “on here” mean in this context to you?

        On the internet as a whole. We are allowed to celebrate and glorify violence against the poor and minorities. Not rich white people.

          I’ve been on the Internet for decades and got my first bans after October 2023 trying to fight back against the insane islamaphobia and western chauvinism of the entire world (shitting in China, any Islamic nation, Russia etc when the west is morally as bad if not worse) I’m not even a Muslim, I just have the benefit of seeing the humans behind the religion (for all people of all religions tho not all sects are religions are equal)

            They’re cracking down hard now. Got permabanned a month ago from Reddit, because I said I didn’t care if Trump called for Liz Cheney to be shot after she’s called for millions to be bombed. Again, not banned for encouraging or glorifying- just for saying I didn’t care.

            It’s not just threats of violence they’re going after now. They’re banning people for not supporting the right kinds of violence, or for supporting equal application of the law.

            And the apologist bots are escalating all over social media, too. They’re scared. They should be.

      Notice how hard they’re going after the shooter? The NYPD is actually making an effort for once and the FBI is involved even though there doesn’t seem to be any evidence that this is a federal matter (has the shooter crossed state lines? Has the victim’s civil rights been violated?). We’ve always known that law enforcement is for them and not us but it’s pretty blatant.

      I’d say “you get what you pay for“ but the C suite doesn’t pay taxes.

      I’ve noticed most communities have been overtaken by, at best, centrist mods. Most of whom have power issues, and ban for personal reasons. Looking at you JonsJava, jeffw.

        Huh

        I say some wild shit and they just tell me to stop wilding

        Except for FlyingSquid, because he doesn’t want to admit Israel is using religion as an excuse for genocide for some weird reason.

        I think it’s a lot of the same problem with every social media platform. There’s simply a lot of government agents and private partners that get into positions to moderate and control online speech platforms. It’s how they maintain their power. By controlling what we are allowed to talk about, which never includes speech that’s a threat to their position and power.

        Look at how many executives at Facebook are former IDF or CIA. Reddit admins used to have a blogpost up that their highest traffic source came from a government astroturfing farm at Eglin Air Force base. This isn’t a conspiracy. They’re very open about what they’re doing. They have so much control at this point, they no longer feel the need to operate covertly. They spend a great deal of time and money making sure they own the people who moderate the biggest communities, or the admins who can overrule them.

      Where? Seriously, where is this happening? I’m all over lemmy and any time I see a direct call for someone, anyone, else to die that comment is removed quickly and often the commenter is banned.

      So give me specific instances, prove your claim.

          Of course I have but that’s not what you were referencing in the comment I replied too, nor was it what my reply was about.

              They are not the same as a comment that I just read that says, and I quote, “Yes we’ve had first CEO assassination but how about a Second?”

              If you think they are the same then you are part of the problem.

                no, you are. the quote you gave is infinitely less harmful than any advocacy for war or cops.

                wow, they called for a second murder? of the worst people on earth who contribute nothing to society but always do great harm? including auto-denying sick people to let them die or otherwise suffer?

                I can tolerate killing thousands of people, but I draw the line at 2 demons!

                No, you…

                (they aren’t the same, a state’s monopoly on violence, which they inflict on their own, and other, citizens with impunity, and which you are not only consenting to, but defending, is infinitely worse)

                Calling for increased police and war budgets is calling for the deaths of thousands. You’re right- they’re not the same. The pro-war and pro-cop are far more violent.
